Title: Returning
Post by: nkowal on 06/11/2020 01:04 AM
Well... it's been a while. I took a long break from cigars and the forums with two things hitting me pretty hard: my job and having a kid. Both didn't allow for a ton of free time and a lot of my stuff I did online went by the wayside. So both are in a relatively good state of affairs finally in the given moment (relatively speaking!), so I figure it's time I start rolling back in a bit. A little wiser, more mature... and with different tastes now as well.

So I'm trying to make a slow comeback to the forums and saying hi to everyone again after years away. Hope to catch up.

I also have defined my palate a lot more over the past year when I started smoking again (finally), so I ended up with a lot of cheaper to mid range cigars with a bunch of years on them that I don't really smoke anymore. And probably some nicer ones as well (still need to weed some of those out as I'm refreshing my humidor data on the site). Everyone here was so kind when I started a number of years ago, so... I'd like people to nominate people who are newer and developing their tastes so I can ship them some of my cigars. I'll send them some of my cheaper aged stuff http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=humidors;area=public;member=nkowal) and mix in some of the other stuff I have as well. Throw me some names...

Great to see you back Nick!  Very generous of you to ask for names . . . but there hasn't been a lot of newbie activity where people hang out after their introduction.  Maybe you should just post up what you have for a quick cheap sale and make a few bucks to buy what you like.

Welcome back Nick. As mentioned above, you might have a better chance to sell a few here than to find new members at the moment.

Alright, thanks all. I'll throw a few of the better sticks up for purchase and just throw the cheaper sticks in for bombs, etc.

Welcome back, and nice to meet you!

Depending on if you find that special someone to donate those cigars to, I might have a friend who loves Emilio and would want those ones...
