I guess my statement made me sound like a total NEWB, but that's really not the case. I have no problem remembering brands, but particular (specific) names of the cigars within that brand. I guess I couldn't give you the EXACT name of one of my first fav. smokes, it was a RyJ Torpedo. Now if that is the actual name I do not know (or care, so I guess that's why I have an even harder time remembering).

I'm gonna miss my local (not now) shop b/c I became good friends with the owner.....he was/is extremely knowledgable. "VTcrosscut" knows who I am talkin about I bet.
