    Default an informal intro...

    OR... yet another new guy!

    I just recently decided to take my love of a good cigar more seriously. Until now, I would just stop by one of the smoke shops (read that as cigarette stores that just happen to have a decent cigar or two) on the way home for the weekend and pick up a couple. I did just get my first humidor. It is not great, but it is what I can afford for now. It is a Thompson (I don't see that name thrown around a lot here, so I am not sure what to think of that) Barrel humidor. They had a combo going so I couldn't resist. Now, you may have read the problems I have had so for with this thing, but hopefully I have that all taken care of now.

    You guys really have a nice place here. I hope to hang around here for a long while.

    I know how that goes. The only local place to get cigars here is a "Cigarette Express"

    Welcome to the board though. You'll find that online cigar shops come in handy.

    Default Thanx for the warm welcome, guys

    QuietC (or anyone who wants to throw in their two cents),

    Where are some of the recommended online shops? Thompson is the only place I have got smokes from so far. Where else should I look?

    I've used these guys http://www.dukecitycigars.com/. Customer service is great and they take very good care in their shipping.
