An introduction

Just a new guy introducing himself.

I was introduced to scotch and cigars by my first boss. I think we spent more time drinking and smoking than doing actual work. It was absolutely brilliant. That was a few years ago, and I've started enjoy them more often recently.

I don't know what's supposed to be good or bad, I don't know if I could even tell the difference between a great cigar and a cheap cigar. From what I've tried though, I've liked the Montecristo, Avo Uvezian, and Davidoff the best.

I just got my first humidor and a new batch of sticks. I'm looking forward to trying the Cohiba - dominican, not cuban - and Avo XO. I also got some more Montecristos (in churchill and double corona) because I've liked them so much.

Just saying hello. I hope to learn a bit more and participate in this little community. If you all have any advice for a young guy starting out, I'd enjoy hearing it.

Cheers from Los Angeles,

matt

You'll find this board to be quite.........entertaining..... to say the least :smiley4:

Good and bad cigars are subjective. Smoke what you like!

OK, I live in NH, but thought that sounded fancier than "Hi".

Welcome to the boards! There is nothing quite like a job you can drink at. We only drink on Friday afternoons. So, by this afternoon, I will have a Miller in my hand.

Welcome from the northern 'burbs of Chicago (home of the 2005 World Series Champs - I hope you're not an Angels fan...)!!!

Sounds like your boss showed you the good stuff!!! Avo's, Davidoff's, Monte's.... All very nice... Now there are about 5,000 other different cigars you got to try next! Enjoy the hunt!!!

Welcome from Montana!
I'm a newbie on the board too, and from what I've read, this is a pretty good bunch of guys with tons of knowledge about cigars. I've really enjoyed being here.
A bit of advice though...use the search tool! Most of the questions I've had have been pretty much covered on a variety of threads. :smiley14:
And you say you used to have a job where you could drink and smoke fine cigars???? Used to??? What the hell made you leave a gig like that???
