A brief Introduction.

Hello All,

First let me say, that if this post is in the wrong place, please feel free to do with me and/or this post as you see fit.

Now that, that is out of the way.

I have been smoking cigars socially for ~ a year. Then a family member gave me a humidor and a case of the Flor de la Antillas by My Fathers Cigars for christmas. So I've been seeking out information on the net and looking around for a seemingly good, and non corporate, cigar forum (I love forums). Hence the reason that I joined here.

I will probably post some questions here and there that I cannot find in a satisfactory manor on google, this forum, or other forums (most likely due to a deficit in my understanding of terminology).

At any rate, I just wanted to say HI, and hope to spend many years hanging with the seemingly good people of this forum.

Thanks,
TC

Thank you Don!

Right now, the stick would be a Romeo by Romeo and Julietta, with a nice THE BALVENIE DoubleWood 17, with a couple of rocks.

I'm sorry, but I snickered a bit when you mentioned smoking a Romeo. Not that I was snickering at you smoking a Romeo, but a good fried was in our local shop and sat for the longest time smoking the Romeo trying to descibe the taste. Out of the clear blue he shouts, "GRAHAM CRACKERS! - That's what I taste - GRAHAM CRACKERS!". And he went on and on and on with the "graham crackers" taste - like he'd discovered something new... I don't believe anyone before or after has ever claimed to taste "graham crackers" in a cigar, so any time I see someone enjoying a Romeo and Julietta - I think "graham crackers"... :smiley36:

THE BALVENIE DoubleWood 17 - very nice! I'm primarily a Dalmore guy myself, but I do enjoy the DoubleWood 17. :smiley20:

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay! :smiley20:

Welcome. I did the OC thing for a while, then retreated to somewhere a bit less insane. Still love visiting from time to time, though.

That is a great story... I have to be honest, I have never thought Graham Crackers as I was smoking one, Hell I had one tonight, even after reading your story I still didn't get the flavor... maybe my taster is broken :smiley2:

I cannot hate on the Dalmore either, but something that the sherry oak does to the double wood that just .... yum...

Yes we live a fast paced life out here, but I would go insane if I didn't have my pick of cigar shops... and other gentlemanly establishments... :smiley37:

I have been to Alberta, Edmonton to be exact! I have some stories from my last trip there, we'll save those for some other time... I will say this, the last time I was there it warmed up enough the day before I left to snow :smiley20:

Winter is a shitty time to visit the prairie provinces (Alberta or Saskatchewan) in western Canada

I'd definitely like to hear your story so whenever you feel the urge, I'm listening...:smiley36:

There is a good time to visit Saskatchewan? (okay, in the summer the drive through, she goes faster, eh? - but besides that.....:-)

LOL - that's relative.....

For instance, if like me, you love fishing, then any time between May 1st and Sept 30th is a "good" time to visit SK. Preference given to the month of June.

That's the one thing I do miss about living in SK...........the fishing. My mom and some friends still live there so I have to go back every now and then whether I want to or not.
