I am 36 I live in Warrenton, Va (45 min from DC) and an avid outdoors person. I like camping, fishing hiking and more importantly I like to play golf. I started smoking cigarettes at 14 yrs old and quit 6 years ago.

When I started playing golf about 3 yrs ago I was wanting to smoke cigars after rounds or just while hanging out but was scared that would lead me back to cigarettes. Boy was I wrong ...Cigars are sooo much better tasting and relaxing and cooler. Off and on over the years I would smoke a swisher sweet or try a real cigar like a Macanudo but i never got into it until recently. I have several favorite goto brands but I am still kinda fumbling around trying as many as I can. I bought a humidor (holds 25) online and I am in the process of seasoning it this week. Thanks to all the advice on this board it should be ready by later this weekend I am taking my time and not rushing. At this point all I buy is several sticks at a time to either smoke right then or later that evening.

My favorite cigars thus far are:
Alec Bradley Havana Sun Grown
Padron 3000 & 4000 Madura
Carlos Tarano Silver Exodus 1959

You'll soon be searching for a new humi if you end up catching the Gar fever as I did a bit ago..went from a 25 to a 300 to a cabinet in a matter of months! It's funner and way more satisfying to collect/smoke cigars!
