Title: Good Morning! Thanks For Having Me.
Post by: Brlesq on 05/05/2010 06:57 AM
I stumbled across your exceptional cigar community yesterday while searching for some cigar info, and was impressed immediately.    I live in Upstate NY.  My father-in-law got me hooked on cigars about 20 years ago, so I am blessed to have a wife that actually ASKS me to light up because she enjoys the smell.  (Reminds her of her father).  Of course, he was a drugstore-buying White Owls and Phillies smoker, and over the years my tastes have refined (and lightened my wallet proportionately!)  I currently maintain 7 humidors and have kept a cigar journal for about 8 years (so I don't forget which ones I really like or dislike).  My taste tends to be for the bigger rings and fuller-in-body.  Hondurans tend to be my "go-to" cigars.

Anyway, that's my story.  I am looking forward to being part of the group.  Thanks for having me.

Welcome...you have landed in the right spot to add even more humidors to your collection, and undoubtedly lighten your wallet to the point of it floating. Looking forward to your participation and input.

Cheers, Pete

Are Kent's resurrections prompted by herf conversations, or are they just willy nilly? In any case, it's fun to read the old fogie's intro threads!

Wow, look at all those old member's names! All great guys there  . . . not many of them still around.

BTW, now 7 years later and my taste tends to be for the smaller ring gauges  but still medium to full body. CT Broadleafs tend to be my "go-to" cigars.
