Hello

**MrTamborineMan** · 04-12-2009, 01:52 PM

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a bit new to the cigar world, but am very interested by a lot of what I see, plus I like a good smoke. I'm probably a bit younger than most of you (that was not meant to be an insult in any way if it could've been taken that way, just pointing it out), but hopefully I'll be able to contribute no less. Anyhow, hello.

Welcome from Indiana. I suggest checking out the Newbie Sampler thread over in the exchange forum.

Welcome from Central Texas

How would being younger be an insult to this community of learned, distinguished ladies and gents?

You don't smoke Macanoodles out behind the barn do you?

This is one of the healthier boards I've been associated with in years past. It got me thinking the other day as to what makes up a good bulletin board. Not only does a BB need good communicators and active members, but I would go so far as saying that an active, captive audience is required as well. People to listen to the experiences and wisdom of others. Certainly different users coming from all over the world offer new experiences and insights, and these are welcome, but the point is, just because you think you don't have anything to offer, doesn't necessarily mean you aren't contributing.

Oh, and welcome from northwest Louisiana.

What kind of sticks are you into?

actually I don't know yet, until I started smoking some of the nicer stuff (within the last week or two) all I'd smoke would be like backwoods with my family on hunting trips and stuff, all I've smoked so far are a Montecristo White (Very, very satisfied with this one) and I went back to the shop today and asked the owner for some suggestions and he gave me an ashton something or other ( it had a white label, wasn't real into this one, but I'll stick the other one in the humidor and see what happens) and a Romeo y Julietta (smokin' it tomorrow). I need some suggestions to take to turkey camp with me though, and I leave friday, so let's here what you guys like - I'm mostly looking for more mild/medium smokes, cant quite handle the real strong stuff just yet.

What is "turkey camp"?

See if you can pick up something from Torano, CAO (Criollo), Gispert or Rocky Patel (Connecticut, Sun Grown).

**Irish79** · 04-14-2009, 05:25 PM

lol I think he was referencing spring gobbler season and going up to his hunting camp to shoot a turkey. Am I correct?

I always enjoyed spring gobbler better than fall. In PA, you could only hunt until noon and the weather was so nice, with the sun shining through the trees.

**bigwhiteash** · 04-14-2009, 05:36 PM

There's no fall turkey season in South Carolina..

Dammit!
