Hello all! I'm very new to the forum especially since I just signed up early this morning. I've been lingering around here for a few days as a guest, and decided to go ahead and sign up.
A little bit about myself: I'm a college student, and a fairly new guy to the cigar world. I've been smoking cigars since my 18th birthday, which was last August. The story for my username "Playboy2011" is, because Playboy was the first cigar I had ever smoked, and 2011 for the year I first go into cigars. What got my into cigars was from growing up watching movies particularly Civil War movies like Gettysburg, and seeing the men smoking cigars. I always thought to myself "I'm going to have one for my 18th birthday", because I always was facinated by the culture and tradition of cigars and tobacco. Especially, because I'm from, and live in Virginia, so I have always felt like tobacco and cigars were part of my heritage. Not to mention my grandfather smoked cigars on a daily basis, and I always had the image of tradition/heritage engraved in my mind. I had my first cigar, which was a Playboy in toro size (I believe) with my brother. My brother and family thought I was nuts, because they thought I would get sick from it, but instead I instantly fell in love with it and cigars. Now that I've been a cigar smoker for 10 months or so (if my math is right). Now that I have seen how cigars are made I truely have a deep understanding and appriciation for cigars.
Also as I have a question that I wanted to ask (I know I'm digressing a bit). Does anyone know what the charateristics of a Peruvian filler is? That's one of the tobaccos in the filler of the Playboy, and I cannot find any information on the Peruvian filler charateristics.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Playboy2011
