Hi everyone,

My name is Steve, I live in Pennsylvania, and I'm just getting into cigars now at the ripe old age of 37. I'm looking forward to reading a bit and hanging out for a while. The reading I've done so far shows this to be a nice group.

See?!?!? This is what happens when you have a "happy rep day" thread on the board. It's all downhill from here.

and, welcome.

Welcome from CA. Great choice on the Padrons. What a tremendous line of cigars. Have you had a chance to try the anniversary series? Kinda expensive (more for special events) but a tasty smoke!

I have not tried the Anniversaries yet, but I am looking forward to it.

I am sort of limiting myself to low-mid-price smokes until my taste develops and I can better appreciate the more expensive and/or higher quality stuff. 6 bucks per cigar is my (arbitrarily set) limit right now, smoking about one per week. I am allowing myself two or three of $3-$4 cigars per week for "practice".
