I think I missed this thread. Yes, my hats off to you guys that have already welcomed me here and traded with me.
I have been burning sticks since 1990 when the Cigar boom starting to hit. First smoke was a Swisher but the real deal came to me as a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur soon to follow a Punch and I was trying everything after that, hook, line, sinker, DONE!!! In 94 I smoked the Habana Gold Sterling Label, Man that was a good cigar at a great price, what I would do for one today.
I got really big into Cigars where I seriously thought I was going to make our guest room closet into a humidor. I've since smoked them down and now keep it simple to a few brands I really like. I have been a LEO for 16 years and live outside of Austin on a couple of acres of land. The best smokes are on my back porch over looking the countryside with a few good friends. I've learned over time it's not the big stash you collect it's who you enjoy them with and since being on Ccom I have really enjoyed trading with you guys. One last thing, you ever come to Austin, Texas let me know, I belong to a private lounge (Bolivar Lounge) you choose the cigar and drink and it's on me.
Thanks for the hospitality, the website, and the great cigars.
I.MUST.GO.TO.AUSTIN. Really though I hear it's great out there and would indeed like to come out some time. WELCOME!

Bucking, brother we are all d@mn glad to have you here being part of this community! That is truly a great offer and very generous, I used to live in Plano and haven't been back down there for about 7 years... last time was the 2004 on the Hot Rod Power Tour that kicked off at The Ballpark at Arlington.... helluva time for sure!
Welcome Amanda, good to see Brett's better half around here...we've seen enough of the other half.
BWAHAHAHA... I'll give you a half of something to look at Joe! Send me a GoF or something and I'll show you a better half and ship it back ;P lol jk.... thanks for the warm welcome though Joe and everyone else to my wife!

I can say I'm the better looking of the half with the red hair and everything (love you baby). But he does beat me on the cigar and math thing.
Even though I've had 30 something posts already, I just noticed this post and wanted to officially introduce myself. I'm married and have been for 30 years to a really great guy. Our pastimes include riding our Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic, camping in our RV. I personally love to read, collect coins and I'm an avid history lover, especially Civil War, American Indian, WW2, and ancient civilizations. I also love astronomy and wonder about the vastness of our universe. I'm a science lover. These loves really separate me from lots of other women, so why in the world would I not go ahead and smoke cigars, lol! We have 2 daughters, one is 26 and married, and the other is 21 and in medical school. I'm very proud of them both. I'm a registered nurse. I was attracted to the smell of cigars when I bought a cigar box to store my collector coins in a few weeks ago. One thing led to another and I found myself wanting to actually smoke one, which led me to researching it on the internet, and thus finding you nice people. This is the best forum I've ever come across and I do so appreciate you all making me feel so welcome. Oh, and I'm from the south, born and bred!
JDH, you and your wife sound very interesting! A shame that we live so far apart. I always love to meet people of my same interests, because it's not often I meet a woman with my tastes. So, I think we'd all hit it off really well. Love the pic in your avatar! Nice meeting you!!

Well, there's always Biltmore. I think my wife would move in there if they'd let her.

I love history too, I kind of focus more on western european but I know a few tid bits about american history too thanks to a nut case in high school and college I lovingly named the russian because his idea of flirting with me was teaching me EVERY single war strategy and solider lay out of EVERY single major war the world has every seen.
Actually I signed in back in July,2010, but have never really participated in the forums till recently. Enjoying the forums and finding myself reading more and more and starting to offer my thoughts on subjects...kinda of addicting. I've been into cigars for a few years and have accumulated a modest collection. But the postings and trades are very interesting and look forward to having more discussions with everyone. Would like to know more on how trades work? In your Bio do you inform what your favs are, and wishes?? Little about myself, married, 4 boys, wife and I are empty nesters, love golf and cigars and traveling for work and pleasure. So thought it was time to introduce myself and say "Hello". Thanks Mike
