Hello from Oregon

[JiveTurkey]

Hi everyone. This is the Jive Turkey from Corvallis, which is in the heart of the Willamette Valley of Oregon (and home of OSU and the Beavers for you academics and/or sports fans out there).

Got into the hobby a few months ago on a whim when I decided to stop in the local B&M on my bike commute. Looking for a relatively short smoke, I got a Partagas Black Label Pronto and another lighter-colored one. Obviously, I liked the Black Label best and have since bought a 30-pack to fill my little desktop humidor. I smoke 'em slow and get over an hour easy, especially with a glass of port or pint of stout.

I'm leaning toward the darker and stronger cigars (just like my beer and coffee). Later I want to get a bigger humidor and start adding some bigger smokes for longer sessions. Anyone have any opinions about the cigars in this maduro sampler: http://www.famous-smoke.com/famous+b...ars/item+32381

My other major hobbies are bicycle mechanics/riding and beer homebrewing/drinking. I'm the same JiveTurkey on http://www.bikeforums.net and http://www.homebrewtalk.com

Oh and I've also enjoyed my Prontos on the disc golf course--perhaps a new spin on a classic combo.
