  1. Default Another Introduction: Another Floridian

    I posted most of this info in a different thread (see Scuba thread), but thought I’d make an “official” introduction in case anyone’s interested. I hope this is an appropriate place to post an intro. I’m another Floridian (I’ve noticed several others around here…been lurking for a while). I transplanted from East TN to the Central Florida Gulf Coast (Spring Hill/Weekiwachee area) a little over seven years ago. I do travel the entire state for work, covering Florida City to well into the panhandle.

    I have just recently been returning to cigar smoking after a several-year hiatus in which I’ve been pretty much dedicated to pipesmoking. I have still enjoyed the occasional cigar because several of the guys I hang out with are predominantly cigar smokers. Since I’ve been away from cigars for a while, I’m at ground zero newbie-hood. Hopefully that will change by gleaning the info around here. If “newbie” were the worst thing I had ever been called, I’d be in good shape , so I’m not too proud to admit it… In any event, I still love my pipes, but wanted to focus on cigars for a while...the pipe and pipe tobacco stashes are in good shape. I'll put up a pic of my tobacco cellar some time. If you are not familiar with pipes at all, don't think of the fruity, sweet aromatics that most people are familiar with. The natural (non-flavored) english/virginia blends are more akin (albeit different) to cigar smoking, and age beautifully in the tin. So, I've accumulated a few decades worth in my stash.

    Anyway, that’s enough about me for now. This has grown much too long. Looking forward to learning what I can.

    Welcome. I like the Buffett ref. in your sig.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
