Hi, wanted to introduce myself

Hello All

I've been browsing this forum for a couple weeks, posted once and took a little ridicule about a red cape and cats, that was quick and it's made me think about finding a new . Seems like a place with some interesting and informed people with a great common interest. A little info about myself, I live about 45 min north of Boston, MA and work in the construction construction industry. Lots of stress at work and I found a few months ago that relaxing for about an hour with a good cigar seems takes all that stress away. I purchased a small humidor a couple of weeks ago holds about 150 and already realize that I'm going to need something big enough to hold a few boxes. I usually smoke once a day and twice on the weekend. I've been using a program Cigar Briefcase to track the cigars I've smoked and journal until I get a handle on things. I took a few minutes and filled out the bio.

Thanks for having me!!!

Its true, I thought I'd be able to get by with a 10ct, being a light smoker and all, but now i'm about 3x capacity.

Welcome from the state of corn, beans, and people who can't agree on a time-zone.

Now ya see, that humidor is dangerously overcrowded. DANGEROUS I say! :smiley40:

Lucky for you we're a helpful bunch here and out of the goodness of my heart I'd gladly take, oh, a dozen of those nice sticks off your hands. Otherwise who knows, just when you least expect it in the deep dark of the night that humidor may just explode from overcrowding and YOU WOULDN'T WANT THAT NOW WOULD YOU! :smiley2:

Seriously though, welcome to the asylum.

Yeh, I'm just a little impulsive with new hobbies, it's nice to collect things, but with this kind of collection you have to keep buying or your collection seems to just evaporate.

Up in smoke. :smiley2:
Hey there are worse hobbies, as far money going up in smoke. I know a guy that used to burn thousands of dollars worth of fireworks every 4th of July. Just think of all the cigars that could have bought.

Sound fimiliar last 4th the fire works bill got out of hand it was a little over $2,500 split it with freind next door. Almost burned the neighborhood down, but man that was fun. Every year the crowd seems to grow had about 160 people at this years BBQ.

Damn, and I thought the rednecks down here went overboard with fireworks.
