    Default Hello from Northern California

    Hey everybody my name is Hector and im from the bay area, im 23 years old and started smoking real cigars a few weeks ago.

    My smoking history goes like this:

    I started smoking ciggs in high school and using (still do) swisher sweets to add my own "personal stash" of cigar filling.

    I stopped smoking ciggs a few years ago and started smoking black and milds. A few weeks ago i decided to try some real cigars so i started doing my research and came across this site where i lurked for a few days before signing up.
    So far ive smoked an Arturo Fuente curly head and a Romeo y Julieta 1875, im starting off at the lower end developing a palate before buying more higher end cigars so i can appreciate more what im smoking.

    Im looking foward to my time here and getting to know some fellow cigar smokers.

    Welcome from NW PA, I would suggest the newbie sampler to start yourself off with a wide selection of cigars to test your palatte.

    Just as I thought. I have been paying attention by the way to the members who you greet with a "enjoy your stay" vs. a normal welcome and I've noticed that your percentage of correctness with regards to their lack of future attendance is quite hi.

    Greetings from Eastern Washington State from an ex-Californian (was born in San Jose)!
    Everyone here will recommend the Newbie Sampler, as it's an easy way to broaden your horizons, and I just went that route myself. You cannot go wrong with it.

    As for a sampler/humidor package, I'm not sure anyone here has/does anything like that, but using a coolidor is another storage option. That's what I have, it's really inexpensive to assemble, and you can store a ton of smokes in it. I recommend a monster Igloo if you choose to go that route.

    Welcome to it, and enjoy your stay.
