Hey all,

I have been reading the forums for two or three days now, impatiently waiting for my account to be activated. I am very excited about joining your community.

I recently graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. I am stationed in boring Del Rio, TX where I am awaiting pilot training. I grew up in Hattiesburg, MS and Scottsdale, AZ.

I started smoking cigars in order to have a common hobby with my step-dad.

About 6 months ago he bought me a humidor and I have been smoking several cigars a week ever since. As far as I know, the closest cigar shop is in San Antonio- a mere 2.5 hours away. I have one friend out here in Del Rio that smokes too.

I already had to catch myself going crazy on the online cigar shops. Hopefully my smoking and my purchases will fall more in line with my budget as determined by Congress.

I hope your ready for the barage of questions I am going to be asking in the future. I will try the search function first. Hopefully I can be sucessful with it.

My favorite sticks to date have been a Padron Anniversario, R y J vintage, Punch and Oliva V.

Respectfully,
Ben
