Welcome to the Forum!

Since you asked, I did have a few questions:

1. How long have you been smoking cigars?

2. What kind of cigars do you like?

3. Do you own a humidor?

That should get us started.

Welcome to the forum.

[BarryBuc]

1. How long have you been smoking cigars? uhm about 5 yrs now

2. What kind of cigars do you like? the milder stuff more often like connecticut wrappers (cusano's got me started and have been a favorite ever since) sometimes i'll crave a kick you in the ass roll over in pain and vomit till your eyes bulge out unless you have food or drink first type of cigar like a Trinidad . . . you know the one in the CA ad that says "real me aren't affraid of the dark"? well call me MRS BUC then lol i havent tried something like that yet but i have tried some of the "less mild" cigars . . . the spicyness of the hondurans and nicaraguans seem to tempt me plenty. Last few brands i smoked are (in no particular order) montecristo no 5 i got as a gift from my uncle in law who has smoked for ever, a Fonseca of some sort *see note below* --that didn't go too well and an ashton vsg. those are the ones i can remember. i try to smoke regularly but never have the time. i actually recently bought these little cigarillos called cheveres . . . they taste like . . . well i wont say, if you can ever find them ill let you decide for yourself . . . but they smell great and it gives me my daily fix lol
*note:* aside from my horrible memory, i am still a newb when it comes to cigars. i know some things but not nearly enough to be considered well versed. pardon my ignorance. im trying lol

3. Do you own a humidor? i own one nice cherry finished 4 drawer 100 count humidor with the glass front door and the hygrometer built in(which broke) lol and it has a digital (off by 10% after doing the double ziploc bag calibration/test) hygro/thermometer and that tub of gel that you refill with distilled water every so often . . . whats it called again? i cant remember, ive had it for like 2 years almost. uhm lets see, i have aside from that 3 travel humidors. one is that hard case with the foam for like 5 cigars. the others are a bit bigger and from like thompson. . . so not really hermetically(sp?) sealed or even cedarlined now that i think of it.
what else, oh yeah . . . i once bought a 100 qt cooler to convert to a coolerdor but i have yet to fill it. or do anything to it really. ive used it for parties(drinks, ice etc.) but havent cleaned it or thought of any type of shelf system even. i would like to though.

so, that answers those questions. . . any more? lol
