Hey All:

New to the site here. Posted in "Today's Smokes" but thought I'd post an intro before I posted too much.

Been smoking off and on for about 4 years, mostly off. My first cigar was a vanilla flavored one while my wife and I watched the fountains at the Bellagio in Vegas. I've graduated from that to "real" cigars. I used to only smoke when we were on vacation, but recently I've started smoking more. My sister in law's boyfriend is a more seasoned smoker, and we've started smoking more often.

I never really knew what I liked, just went cigar to cigar, not really enjoying anything too much, but every now and then found one that I liked. I finally started going to the local cigar store and asking about sticks. My future brother in law also started helping me find things. I started with Arturo Fuentes Hemmingways and liked those. I've tried others here and there, a Padron 3000 that was pretty good, and really liked the Fuentes Chateau Fuentes.

I think I'm moving along ok...I smoked an Ashton something or another, was given to me as a mild cigar. It was like smoking air.

I went the next week to the cigar store and tried a Rocky Patel Decade...I've now smoked quite a few of the RP's and kind of like them, and I've been moving towards more full bodied sticks.

I've also been lucky enough to go to these events at one of our local Indian Casinos called "Smokin' Good Time". For $25, you get 2 premium cigars, free Scotch (I don't drink), and some good jazz, plus appetizers. It's held once a month. That way I get to try a lot of different ones. I've found good ones and ones I didn't like so much....

Well, that's more than a little about me, hope I didn't ramble too much and this made some sort of sense..
