Hi everybody, I'm a 27 year old law student living in Arlington, VA. I've smoked cigars on and off since I was in high school. I only get to smoke a couple times a month, but damn do I enjoy every puff! I'm glad I stumbled on this forum, it's a welcome distraction.
Greetings All! My screen name, Streater, is actually my last name and what my friends, family, and colleagues call me. I am 39, married with a 7 year old daughter. I'm a Systems Administrator for a college and have been there for approximately 4 years. I was born and raised in Texas, but did a 6 year stint in Northern California in my 20s.
I was a pack a day cigarette smoker for about 23 years, but gave it up a couple years ago. I'm not one of those zealous ex-cigarette smokers that looks down my nose at smokers. I actually love the way they smell and have zero problems with people smoking around me. It was just starting to make me feel bad as I was developing quite a hacking cough.
I started smoking good cigars about 5 months ago. I can't believe what I have been missing! I'm really enjoying the learning process and exploring the nuances of each different stick. I am starting to figure out what I like and don't, but I'm still a complete newb! I just joined a cigar lounge and hit it just about every day at lunch or after work. Puffing on a good cigar just melts the stress of the day away.
I'm a clown by nature and can laugh at myself. I appreciate a good-natured ribbing and try to maintain a laid back attitude. I don't let much bother me.
Anyhoo, I appreciate the space to say hi. I look forward to sharing a board with all of yall.
Welcome to the rest of your life the guys on this forum are AWESOME hope you enjoy. But I gotta question for ya! Are you somewhat handy with a hammer and basic building skills?
Hello all,
Just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for letting me partake in this forum, it is very helpful, and filled with people who care about this passion. I have enjoyed cigars for many years but not to the level and experience that most of you have. I have generally been the type to walk into a B&M and pick out a stick on a whim to take to the golf course. Now, and as I grow older, I am enjoying that fine smoke more often. And being overseas, there isn't much else to enjoy. So, thanks for the wisdom that has been posted and will be in the future.
