    Welcome Darren! I love Rocky Patels. The Vintage 1990's and 1992 are my bread and butter. My favorite from him is by far the Decade torpedo, a true masterpiece.

    Hi there,

    I'm Darren who lives in Orlando, FL. I've been smoking cigars now for a little over a year and love it. My first cigar I tried as a Monte Cristo #2. I'm really loving the Rockey Patel brands.

    Welcome to the forums! You probably won't find a better online community. I had a lot of questions when I first joined, and I'm sure they were all questions that had been asked numerous times. Still, everyone was as nice and as helpful as can be. I really need to try a Patel, I've heard a ton of good stuff about them.

    Hi All! I am new to the group, and cigars, as well but I feel like I know alot of you from researching your posts. I started with a jar humi about a week ago. Learned that the best PH is between 65 & 70, which then set me out on a mission for a new medium sized desk top so I wouldn't have to keep venting the jar. It should arrive soon. Of course, it didn't take long to fill that jar up with all of the great sampler deals on CCom. So thanks to all for helping me go broke!

    welcome fellers...speaking of RPs, I'm a big fan. Love the 92 and the decade, but my favorite is meritage, which no one else seems to have had. Maybe I made that one up. Also like a Nording and Edge quite a bit.

    I'm currently in sample mode but so far my #1 is the Ashton VSG Robusto. That being said, and after smoking some others, I'm not sure that it is quite strong enough. I'll try it again later. #2 was the La Aroma de Cuba EE. I read the post about not having an empty stomach with some cigars a little late. That son of a gun (with a little scotch) knocked my socks off. I loved it though. Next up is the Ghurka Regent. I can't wait 'til the weekend!

    Jebus, you started off gangbusters. Two good ones, no doubt.

    I wanted to introduce myself since I didn't see this thread yesterday. A few of you I've spoken to, and even though I've just been here a day, I've already had one fantastic member offer me a sample of some cigars I'd wanted to try, and another propose a trade (of sorts.) This community is fantastic, and I hope to be a contributing member. Oh, and for those who haven't seen me around, my name is Joe, I live on Long Island in New York (though I hail from Boston, MA originally) and I'm a very big fan of medium-strength to bold cigars (I really like the Romeo y Julieta Anneversario, as well as the Camancho Corojo.) I look forward to interacting with all of you.

    I'm benski; a British photographer, gourmand and cook, oenophile and amateur mixologist, lover of cigars. I split my time between London and New York. London has some advantages for cigars :~) I shall participate and engage; illuminating wherever possible. I look forward to healthy debate and sparkling repartee. My cigar tastes are catholic. My humidors on both sides of the atlantic stretch from the finest that our friends at Habanos SA can produce (oh those magical yellow, black and gold boxes); from Central and South America I enjoy Mr Johnson's Tatuaje line, much of the output of the Fernandez factory, The Sun Grown Arturo Fuentes and, generally speaking, oddities, rarities and curios of the cigar world.
