Thread: Introduing myself

  1. #1

    Default Introducing myself

    Where to start...well I turned 18 last Thursday, but I might as well be upfront and say I've had myself some sticks here and there over the past month or two. I live in the Chicagoland area and am a Senior in high school. I have a Boxer puppy that is almost a full time job, but she's worth it and has just graduated her training class tonight. I like photography, even though I don't do it as much as I use to, but when I am feeling creative I will spend a lot of time getting what I want.

    As for cigars, I started out with Acids, but I've already developed a dislike for them. A couple of my favorites so far (even though I have a long journey ahead of me) are the CAO Brazilia series, the Mx2, and the Romeo y Julieta Bully. I tried an Italia, and a Sopranos, but didn't care for them too much. I will have to come back to them later. My "humi" is a snap pack that will hold about 10 cigars and a water pillow. I much prefer robustos over the other sizes for some reason.

    There is a good chance I will skip the actual humi altogether and just get a cooler.

    So there you have it,

    Cory

    Edit-I tried an RP edge last night and enjoyed it for the price. I also have a Padron 2000 in my box, along with a CAO gold, and an AF Rothschild to try this weekend perhaps.

    Welcome to the board, Cory.
    You already have some tasty ones down there.
    You wouldn't happen to work at a B&M, would you?

    You should get some kind of award for saying that.
    Get a cooler and sign up for the Newbie Sampler Thread.

    Welcome!

    My father used to have boxers back in the 1950s before I was born. When I was little he had one left but she died of old age when I was 6 or 7 so I barely remember her. Boxers are nice dogs!

    Ah, thats when they started becoming very popular. I did an informative speech on Boxers this semester. She has been a very good dog so far


    boomshay-I am glad I'm not alone. I work quite a bit but don't really have anything to pay for other than my phone bill.

    Cigargirl-It took forever for my registration thing to go through. I actually joined another board, but now that this has been verified or whatever, I have already gotten a much warmer welcome here. So I think I will be sticking around here As for the meaning of it, if thats what you are wondering, I play the Battlefield series of games and that is my tag for those.

    Sprangalang-I don't work at a B&M, unfortunately. I'm further south than you, I'm from the Joliet area actually. So far I have only been to Burning Leaf Cigars. I know they have two other stores than the one by me. I Want to go to Naperville to Bull and Bear eventually. They have 9 walk in Humi's.

    And as for the Newbie thread, I am going to most definately participate in that, but I figure its best to wait until the holidays are over to bother anyone about it.

    Thanks for the extremely warm and pleasent welcome.

    Welcome from Wisconsin.
    I would suggest Cigars and More in Libertyville, Cigar King in Skokie, and the new Belicoso in Orland Park.

    Good Luck,

    First off, welcome to the boards from the Great White North!

    Second.. Rock on BF brutha! I play BF2 and the POE mod myself these days. Word of advice... don't play while smoking a stogie "Sgt. Rock" style... you'll inhale more than one is meant too while using mouse/joystick and keyboard

    Enjoy your stay, there is a lot of good advice to be had here. Use search first before asking!

    I don't play nearly as much as I use to, but when I do I am usually flying in Wake Island 2007. I can't smoke in the house anyways. I actually haven't formally told my paretns yet, but I think they might know

    yeah, smoking cigars in the house is a really bad idea unless you have a dedicated room with plenty of venting to the outside.
