    Well I suppose this is introduction forum. I'm 26 years old, a classical clarinetist and oboist (oddly enough my first degree is in saxophone), a video game addict, and a cigar lover for the last 10 years. Since getting my master degree in 2008 and starting out in "the real world" i've actually had a lot more time and money to devote towards cigars. I have a partner of 3 years that has really helped me develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of cigars but I know there is a lot more out there to experience and learn. Right now my humidor is stocked up with a box of Perdomo Habanas Gordos, Punch Gran Puros, Padron 7000s, and a few La Gloria Cubana Serie R 6s. Looking forward to getting involved in the community!

    Hey Joe, welcome to the family. I checked out some of your music, very nice. You have a gift and great musical talent. I believe you are the first classical music performer/instructor on these boards. it goes to show the wide diversity of people here with us.

    I am a 30yo video game addict, movie buff, fanatical about the Dave Matthews Band, and a cigar lover for the last year. Although I have to admit I am a complete newbie when it comes to cigars. I never ordered anything online before, and the cigar selection in my town is quite limited. So, my lack of knowledge in this world is blatantly obvious at this point. Still, I am more than willing to expand my horizons. I've been smoking Romeo y Julietas primarily, but I am ready to try other things at this point. If anybody has any words of wisdom for this complete cigar n00b, please let me know. Take care!
    You're in the right place. Stick around, get involved in some trades/games. Before you know it, you'll know more than you ever wanted to.

    Hey Thom, welcome..Where do you call home ?
    I'm up in Boston. I was referring to Gloucester Street Cigar Co in my earlier post about actually being walked through someone's humidor. If anybody is in the area, I'd love to enjoy a smoke sometime.
    I'm actually from Newton, MA, and I'm still around from time to time.

    Cool more Boston folk up in here. Welcome! you guys ever hang out at Cigar Master on Boylston St?

    Hey Lasabar...I was starting to wonder why you were staring at their mouths... maybe I am still wondering....LOL

    Hello from Michigan! My name is Dave and as my username states I am a rookie! I started enjoying cigars this summer at a bonfire and I have been hooked ever since... I just picked up a couple sampler sets and humidor so i am really excited to learn the art form of truly enjoying a top quality smoke. I am sadly still stuck with the parents while I stash that cash and get my own place but they are very anti-smoking so I need to start finding some places to enjoy a good smoke. any advice is welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

    Hey Dave, welcome. Get a dog and take long walks, or start a dog walking business to pay for the hobby. Parents ( and I am one) are just trying to keep you from perceived harm. There are worse things to get into, and they will lighten up. My father still greets me with, "you smell like smoke !" when I go visit. I moved out over twenty years ago. You never said how old you are, under 21 ?
  • DaveTheRookie09DaveTheRookie09 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 58
    Yes I am only 20 but in 5 1/2 months I will be 21 and can go to a bar or something to smoke... but until then I am stuck with friends houses or outside in this cold weather...

    Yeah, don't rush it dude, time goes faster than I like now. I never smoke in my house, I have a wife. My smoking is mostly in the yard, garage, or truck. No smoking in any buildings here . Not even bars. There are however many smoke shops that do allow it, but sometimes, that's too much smoke for me.

    Hello, I, too am from Michigan! I currently live in the lovely city of Baghdad, Iraq where I work as a firefighter in support of our military. I've been in this scenic part of the world for 15 months now, and I'm ready to get back home! I have always smoked cigars, but am new to the variety of excellent smokes that abound. I look forward to learning more about my newfound hobby around here!
