New guy on the block

Hello gents,

I'm h3rrington on every forum I frequent so if you know me from wus, dwc, or somewhere else let me know!

I'm 22 and just got out of my sh*thead phase last year. I dumped smoking cigarets, dumped drinking crappy alcohol, and grew an affinity for watches. I don't need a recommendation thread! I use a search function!

I'm a scotch guy. With my preference being Macallan 18. My most smoked stick right now is the Nub connecticut. I enjoy the mild flavors and even burn for a cheaper stick. Makes my habit semi easy on the wallet. Though I must admit I am a huge fan of Alec Bradley's black market.

I am still discovering my tastes and what I enjoy most. And I hope to share the journey with you fellas. My plan of attack is just see what some of you gents post and give em a try myself till I find what I love.

For now, here's my humble humidor.

Note: the cheapie sticks on the right (below the lfds) are for the friends that say they like cigars but don't even know what to do with it.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this community.

Welcome from Alberta, Canada

So I'm just curious, I noticed in your pic an RCMP patch below the humidor, yet your location says Wyoming. Are you fellow Canuck and a member of the RCMP or do you collect RCMP stuff?

My good friend gave me that patch when he retired from the rcpm. I'm Airforce and stationed in Wyoming.

Welcome! :smiley20:

I'm a Scotch fan too. I started with the Speysides and got into the Islays, I drink those for the most part. However there is a Cape Breton "scotch" (well they can't call it that because it's not made in Scotland) called Cape Breton Rare that I like as a before dinner drink. It's light on the palate and tastes great. I can't say that it's a good deal for the money though, it runs about $80.00 a bottle if you can find it which is tough. Comparable scotches are about half that.

As far as cigars, I'm pretty much stuck on Davidoffs, Añejos and Opus X oh and Padron 1926. Lots of guys in my shop like those Black Markets that you mentioned, I haven't smoked one yet. I like some Rocky Patels and there are a couple of new "boutique" cigars I tried and liked at my shop recently but damned if I can remember what they were. I'll get back to you on those. Oh yeah, if I'm in the mood for a very strong cigar, those LFD double ligeros are what I'll reach for, I like the chisels.

Again, welcome to CigarSmokers.

Hi, and welcome from GA. My brother and his family just got back from a vacation on a Dude Ranch in Wyoming. Beautiful country!

Cool!

I was in Cody, WY a couple years back when we did a trip down to Yellowstone. We hit the museum and I spent hours looking at the guns (of course). What I saw of Wyoming was nice enough to convince me I'd like to go back and see more some time.

My father-in-law is retired USAF. If memory serves me, he retired as a SSG.

Stay away as long as you can! Blogo really screwed up before the put him in prison, and Gov. Quinn is following closely in his footsteps. Won't be long before we're paying more in taxes than my take from income...

McHenry County or Lake County? Either way, that's a stone's throw from ggiese.:smiley37:

Both McHenry and Kane counties. A bit west of me, but a wee bit more than a stones throw.:smiley2:

I used to have Scott AFB on my dream sheet.

Took it off as soon as I went home on leave. Couldn't believe how much the city went down the drain after only four years. Or maybe I just romanticized it as a kid.

LOL - but at least it's not a boring trip like the flatlands!

The strangest experience I'd ever had on a drive was navigating a map of Delaware. I assumed it was the same scale as an Illinois map and plotted our course - assuming it would take between 1 1/2 hours. Was shocked when we got there in 20 minutes... :smiley36:

I just drove 27 hours from NY back to Wyoming. I will never again drive through Iowa and Nebraska in a single stretch. Most boring drive of my existence

Hey Doc,

A guy I went to high school with moved up to VT a long time ago. I saw his brother last week and I ask him where Walt moved to. He told me "Victory, VT" I looked it up and sure enough, Northeast Kingdom, LMAO!:smiley36: As a matter of fact, it's the smallest town that actually has it's own government in the NE Kingdom and the population went down in 2010 to 62 from a whopping 90 in 2000.:smiley3: Walt is big into 4 wheelin' and snowmobiling so Essex County must be like heaven on earth for him.

He made the newspaper last winter.:smiley3:

Noob question.

Where's the hangout spot? I notice in. Lot of sub forum posts will go days without anything. Is there one sub forum with a lot of traffic?

Victory is where god lives. I plan on having my ashes spread in the headwaters of the Moose River at Damon's crossing at the South end of the Bog. I grew up on that river, just a little further down. Victory, and it's neighboring town, Granby, were the last towns in the US to get electricity in the mid '60's, so I'm told.

Obviously none of you have driven through Kansas. But, why would you.

I'll have you know that people travel from thousands of miles to make that drive through Iowa. With exciting elevation changes, sometimes up to 100ft or more, and thousands of cornfields, they are a strong draw to literally dozens of tourists. It's just unfortunate that Iowa is sandwiched in between Nebraska and Illinois.

No offense to your home state. Everything outside Chicago is all cornfields too.

But that truck stop you guys have? Massive.
