Title: Hello!
Post by: Crazyhog on 05/28/2017 09:19 AM
Hi everyone, I would like to introduce myself.  I actually came across this site doing a search on cigars, where I found Famous Cigar Shop.  Looks like a great online retailer.  I've been an occasional cigar smoker for about 2 years now.  I have mild, acute asthma, so need to keep it at a cigar or 2-3 cigarillos a week.  During that time I was also a pipe smoker. I have since given up the pipe do to all the inconvenience and maintenance involved.  I will admit that I personally prefer pipe tobacco.  I may buy a couple of pipes in the future.  I sold my previous collection.  I'm in my 50s and never smoked cigarettes.   I now live in a no smoking apartment building, so I need to take my cigars for a 5 minute walk to the river.  I used to just take it to the deck of my house, but a recent divorce has brought these changes. I only smoke outdoors, due to my asthma.  I still haven't found a lounge with a great ventilation system.  I now prefer mild Sumatra, Indonesian, Brazilian tobaccos/wrapper/binders, along with lightly infused cigars (Drew Estate Tabak, Oliva Nub, CAO Flavours, Al Capones).  Im not a fan of Acids.  I always drink something while puffing, even with the tiny cigarillos.  Mostly coffee, but also root beer and Amaretto on the rocks in the summer. I also smoke mostly cigarillos under a 38 gauge with the exception of Nub Nuance and Tabak line.  I am very sensitive to nicotine, so very mild to moderate medium is a must for me.  I prefer using a 9mm punch for the few larger cigars I smoke.   Well that's about it.  I look forward to gaining more knowledge on this hobby and future interactions with the you guys/gals.
