Hello everyone. I've been lurking and reading here for about a month. I finally became a member and wanted to say hello. I work in an industry where it is very common for the execs to go out for a cigar smoke and talk business. This got me motivated to learn about this intriguing "cigar culture" and boy am I impressed!! EVERY cigar smoker I've met has been very friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable, and more times than not - very successful in their prospective careers. Overall - not a bad community to spend time!

I am still reading, learning, and enjoying taking it all in. So far I have tried a few Rocky Patels, Ashtons, and yesterday the Padron 7000. Not a particularly bad smoke experienced yet!

I am still searching for a cigar that would fit my liking as an "everyday - goto cigar" with a modest price that would allow regular smokes. It is great being here and I look forward to learning more and more as time progresses.
