The Newbie welcoming thread.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I also appreciate the recommendations. Believe it or not the Nica Libre and Ccom Brazilian are on my list to try! (Does the list of sticks to try EVER stop growing?)

I think today might be a 2-3 cigar day, a total rarity for me, starting with some yardwork and a 5 Vegas Classic!

Don't feel bad, I sent you a PM

Hi everyone! My name is Tony and I live in the state Capitol of Michigan. I'm a 33 year old single guy who loves to smoke cigars. I'm also into sports, riding motorcycles, and did I mention smoking cigars? I am new to this site but not really to smoking cigars. I started smoking cigars when I was 19 & in the Army. They weren't the greatest cigars in the world but I thought it made me look cool, plus you can't shoot tank table 8 without a cigar. As I got older I started to grasp the idea of smoking cigars but still wasn't a serious smoker. Since then a friend told me about this site and I have already tried to fill my new humi but find that I am smoking on a more regular basis now that the cigars are better taken care of and just flat out taste better. I like so many cigars it's hard to pick just a few. Just this week I smoked 5 Vegas Gold & Miami, Tatuaje Havana VI (one of my favs!), Oliva O (not a fan), and a Gurka Micro Batch, and Nica Libre 1990. Enjoy your smokes!

No newbies want free cigars?

Can't believe nobody jumped on this! when I first joined, another BOTL posted the same thing and I took him up on it. ejenne87, that's very generous offer. I hope some newbie doesn't miss out.

I can't believe it either! i have only recieved on PM so far, I was figuring to have a bunch of them.



I still have a few more cigars for one more newbie!!! PM me :-)

Trust me, new guys, you WANT ejenne87 to hook you up.

Wait... THIS FORUM?

Hmmm... Either I forgot how to read, or I'm missing something... Most of the threads I participate in either are sexually charged, inappropriate or just down right insane.... Hmmmmm

No crap some dude was talking about smoking cigars and licking his dog's butt here. It is disturbing yet delightful. Kind of like staring at an ugly person because you can't believe a person can be that ugly. I keep coming back because you just never know what freak show is happening next. LOL JK of course

I was being polite, didn't wanna ruffle feathers so early

If you don't wanna ruffle my feathers than PLUCK ME!

Hi all, just decided to give cigar a try last week when I caught a whiff of this distinct cigar smell, but the last one I bought at a smoke shop wasn't really good and definitely been overcharged.  I'm now waiting for my order to be shipped & try the samples! 

welcome... tell us how the cigars are when you get them.

Looks like it will take 1 week for UPS to ship all the way to west coast.  But the one I got from the smoke shop was a mild Arturo Fuente grand resorvoir... I can't find the rating for it, but the taste definitely don't have that sweet woody taste.  Any recommendation for newbies here for good taste cigars? 

What's up guys? I figured I'd jump in and introduce myself since this thread was still going strong. I've been dabbling with cigars for many years, got a humidor about 4 years ago, but have really started getting into cigars, trying to learn more about differnt types, wrappers, vitolas etc. this year. Have made a couple of purchases thru cigar.com and have had nothing but great experiences. I also made a couple of posts on the Cigar 101 forum when I was having some humidity and hygrometer issues - the responses were very helpful and much appreciated! Very cool gesture to start this thread and keep it going. Shows what a cool group of BOTLs there are here. I'm not a huge poster (more of a lurker) but I'll definitely pop my head into this forum to see what's going on whenever I can. Cheers! Heavy
