While I am not new to cigars I am new to this site..
My name is Don and I am a retired NYC police officer..(1985-2005) I began smoking cigars in 1986 through urging of some co-workers...I was quickly hooked. I was a regular poster on Cigar Family, Cigar Nexus, Internet Cigar Group and the now defunct Cigar Trader..Just to name a few
Luckily I had a small J&R store near my precinct so I could try all the best cigars..
And then came the BOOM..everybody and their mother making cigars just to make a buck..I became disalussioned with the quality of cigars on the market so I ventured to the Cuban market. I filled my WineRefridge-A-Dor with boxes of cuban cigars. That lasted until 2004 when nearing retirement I knew I had to be a Non-Smoker to get a great rate on a life insurance policy..So I gave up cigars completely..Until recently ,when I realized through the urging of my oldest son that I should remember what I was missing..
My tastes have changed from looking for the strongest kick ass buzz cigar to the more flavorful medium/full smoke. I feel you can get alot more for your money with readily available cigars. So I'm slowly replacing my collection of "those" cigars with what are IMHO better quality complex smokes..
Looking forward to being a part of the group..

oh and also, since you're in upstate NY, maybe try to get in contact with wolfie for a herf? His real name is Randall (direwolf on here). He's kinda a weirdo but since you'll be smoking cigars, there's really no need to talk to him. Just nod when he blabs on about deer.

"btw JL, I tried to copy your emoticon. then I quit and just started to click and drag all over my laptop screen. entertained me for like 30 seconds", lol. Jiunn really cracks me up....

And why would you want to copy my emoticon, June-boy? Don't you know I have it copyrighted seventeen ways from Sunday and it'll cost you 2 Armadas per month in royalties?? Go find your own......... Nyaa, nyaa :-) -
Welcome Don. And this welcome thread is just a taste of the shenanigans that go on around here.

Welcome Don. I'm Doug. These guy's are all on pass from the asylum.
Sorry bout that we generally hang the sign out during these times. For the most part these guy's are harmless... for the most part.
You mentioned that you had been a member at several other cigar related sites? Well this one is NOT like any of them, time will prove that point. Grab a chair Don, welcome aboard. -
Don, don't listen to them I am a mild manored botl, I'm only here to help! Pm to you!
-
Don DO NOT open that PM ! LMAO I totally forgot about Mike. He IS dangerous. VERY DANGEROUS! His "problem" is that he befriends unsuspecting BOTL and eventually kills them with cigars! We call him the "the cigar snubber". He will come off as very nice and all that at the beggining. Time passes however and the real Mike W. sufaces and the cigar weapons start to fly and... I just can't. Too many memories! Oh the horror!MVW67:Don, don't listen to them I am a mild manored botl, I'm only here to help! Pm to you! -
you must have me confused with somebody else, that doesn't sound like me at all??has to be somebody else!!laker1963:

Welcome to the forum. nice to see another NYer here. I know working as NYPD you must have some crazy stories. My brother works for the NYPD and the stories never get old. Hopefully you're a yankee fan. Who really wants to admit they like the mets lol.
