New to the Lifestyle of Cigars

Hey ya'll.. I am new to this whole lifestyle. I have dabbled with it here and there and enjoyed a few decent Cigars. But it wasnt until recently that I have truly started to ENJOY my cigar if you understand what I am saying. Anyways, I am looking for any advice anyone may have for entering this society of fine cigars and bourbon. Looking for smoking buddies new or old to Cigars anywhere in the world. I am always traveling due to my carrer path and would enjoy the finer life with people of all cultures and worlds.

That's a cool '66 Shelby replica in your avatar.

Thanks. I wish this was my car. One of my dream cars next to a Corvette Stingray. When I saw this avatar I had to pick it. It was either this avatar or a 007 avatar. By the way I am originally from Michigan, but currently am living in Italy.

No doubt. The sheer rarity of a colored '66 Shelby is impressive. I'd opt for an original '65 or a '65R (If I had that kind of money)

Welcome from Bitterville.

Oh yeah, a '65? If I had the money for that it would only because I won the Lottery multiple times in a row. If that happens, I will never get to buy the car. Ill be on my way to the morgue due to a heart attack.

I am always in the Chicago area. I am usually flying through there or just hanging out in the area. I might even stop by in IL for a little bit on my way down to Oklahoma.

Thats right... Go Red Wings. You my friend, obviously have taste in sports teams. :)

You must be going to Lawton-FortSill because that is the only base that I know of in Oklahoma. That is acttually the city I was raised in. If you have any questions on places to visit and have fun just let me know. I can tell you right now the best place to go for out-door fun is the Wild Live Refuge, they have picnic areas, walking/biking trails, rock climbing, repeling and you can see the buffalos, and long horns, roaming and there are tons of fishing spots out there with huge cat-fish, you can drive your car all the way to the top of Mt. Scott and enjoy a cigar up there the view is beautiful, because the plains are so flat youcan see for miles.

That I am. I have been there before so its not quite unfamiliar territory. Thanks for the info though. Now if I can just find some cigar buddies in the area to trade and talk about cigars in Lawton.

Welcome from western Oregon. Let me know if you ever make it out here.

I've tried getting into hard alcohol and while I enjoy gin & tonics, cuba libres (rum & coke w/lime), and whiskey & coke w/lemon; I haven't been able to handle sipping on straight alcohol. I tend to go to the microbrews that the Pacific Northwest is famous for.

I sure will. Hey just curious does anyone actually use ICQ or anything similar to keep in contact with their smoking buddies? I think it would be easier to use that than to have to constantly log into CS and read the forums. Not that I dont mind doing that. I rather enjoy reading what some people say and enjoy communicating with the group as a whole. But more of a one on one type talk with someone and see how things are going with them?
