newbie introduction from Richmond VA

[nathanl]

Hello all! Joined a few days back and have been lurking so here is my proper introduction.

In the past I've smoked cigars whenever someone would offer me one then recently tried a Nub Habano and decided I wanted more! I then tried a CAO gold and thought it was OK. I've always liked full bodied beers and wines, so I got a Oliva Serie V soon realized I'm not quite into full bodied cigars yet! Potent! The smell also made my fiancee second guess my new habit. Ha! Oh well!

Some internet research later and I have a coolidor in the making and am ready to start collecting (and smoking)! You guys have been amazingly helpful, if not for this forum I would have blown money on a commercial humidor, now I can put it all towards cigars. Also, the newbie trade thread is a great idea.

Thanks again!

Welcome from northern Louisiana. You should definitely check out the newbie sampler thread.

And make sure you smoke those full-bodied cigars on a full stomach!
