    Hello. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from southern California. Glad to be on the site! Seems to be a lot of interesting cigar stuff here.

    You don't own your own software business, by chance, do you?

    Welcome to the Forum!

    What kind of cigars do you like? How long have you been smoking cigars? What do you like to do for fun?

    No sir. I do own my own biz though. Just don't feel comfortable sharing that info yet. Thanks for the welcome!

    Well, I have been doing the Padron thing for about a year now. My taste buds seem to like them so far...mostly the 6000 series. Also, I have tried the Cohiba (USA variety) Vigorosos. They are pretty darn tasty! I've been smoking cigars for about 6 or 8 years now I think, and fav past time is deep sea fishing. Anyway, hello to all.

    HH

    PS. Why the business question?

    illilli is trying to hit you up for a job (j/k). We like Californian's - just that a schizophrenic cropped up from thereabouts lately - so our guard might be a little up.

    Welcome from CT. This group of guys are the best.

    Padron's are great. A constant favorite for me. I dont think we are judgemental characters here so don't feel to uncomfortable about telling us about your adult film biz.
    Welcome, again, from DC, again

    To be fair to the cigar merchants, the cigar prices they charge may not be high, the Cal TAX RATE on tobacco is high. I believe it’s around 47%. So yes, that would apply to North and South.

    [QUOTE=
    Prices are higher in Alberta by at least double... How much can you get a La Aurora 100anos Belicoso for? They are about $30 a stick here [/QUOTE]

    I dunno about 100 anos, but the scariest price I've ever seen in a store was $53 for a single DC Maximus .

    Basically, if you live in Cal, buying cigars is strictly an online game . I like to window shop in the B&M's and buy a single cigar now and then to be polite, but a guy would have to be really rich (not me) or really ignorant to buy quantities from even the honest merchants.

    What a shame, hurting the honest B&M owners! Isn't Arnold still incharge there? I heard he had to shut down his smoking tent. I wounder if he has the veto power on some of those laws or bills?
