Just wanted to /wave to the community! :-D

I'll browse around posts so I can get a better feel for everyone... glad to be here!

I just got into cigars about 3 or 4 months ago, so I still have to stick it to fairly mild/medium bodied cigars... the stronger ones still give me nicotine overload or make me sick if I didn't just eat a big meal lol

Hope everyone's doing well!

Welcome to the board man. It's amazing how much your tastes for cigars can change over time smoking. I had a friend who used to hate maduros with a passion now his mouth waters when you say "Hey camacho is making a triple maduro cigar." or "man have you tried the Sancho Panza Double Maduro yet?' It's a really interesting thing to experience and cool to see.

Well, like I said I've been smoking for 3 months.

Oliva Series G is a medium bodied smoke, and when I first tried one, I was sick all night.

Had one last week and loved it.

So, already the taste buds and the nicotine tolerance is starting to change. I still try to stay away from the maduro wrappers for the most part though. I was given an "Indian Tabac Cigar Co" in a maduro wrapper that I'm sitting on because I don't want to just waste it by not enjoying it, yet I don't want to give it away lol

That is actually a really good plan. My Uncle made the mistake of gifting me an Opus X early on in my cigar smoking and I being a super noob wasn't smart enough to just leave it in the Humidor for a little while. Needless to say I ended up wasting a really good cigar and felt pretty bad afterwards.

What do I have to do to get my pic appear? Is that a senior member only privilege? I updated it in the User CP, it's appearing as a preview on my screen. I made sure its the right pixel count and size...

Maybe I'm missing something lol

There is a difference I believe between your profile pic and your avatar. What you are looking to add is an avatar, go into your user cp and click on avatar settings and you should be good.

Ah, thanks.

I'm used to different forum formats. This one is clean though.
