Recently joined the site, I am from British Columbia, Canada.  I am 25 and have been smoking cigars with great enthusiasm for 7 years and my wife even encourages it.  You can be sure to find many cigar reviews from me as time marches on.  That is if I can find time between 2 jobs and 3 kids.

Some of my favorite smokes are;

Gurkha Titan
Gurkha Legend
Gurkha Triple Ligero
Gurkha Grand Reserve
MAXX Ego
Oliva V
Trinidad Fundadore (CUBA)

I am looking forward to discussing and reviewing cigars here.

Welcome to the site Jeff. I guess you're a Gurkha fan eh? Looking forward to seeing you around the site and perhaps your participation in the future 'First Canadian Cigar Pass'. Hound (Nathan) and myself are looking for about a half dozen more Canadians to join so we can do a pass.

Cheers from frigid Quebec!! brrrrrrr.

I'm sitting outside with a sweater and jacket on. Naturally, I'm smoking a cigar. It's 1:15 AM in South Florida and it's 58 degrees F and feels like 50. If it's so chilly here, 60 miles north of Miami, what's it like up there? Welcome to the group!

According to Accuweather, at almost 5 AM Eastern Time, it's 48 there and feels like 45. Here it's 55 and feels like 48! That's almost identical! But in Quebec it's 30 and feels like 28. I hope you understand Fahrenheit. I'm still outside. I smoked two excellent cigars (see my latest reviews) and a pipeful of a blend I mixed from 3 commercial blends I don't like separately. That's one of the joys of pipe smoking: blending your own mix.

I picked up a box of those ITC 10th Anni. on special at CI's not long ago for $50.00, then a guy I know here really wanted them so I traded them away before I even had a chance to give it go...I should have kept one at least!

They're on the strong side, which is not your favorite type.

Not yet, but I am slowly aquiring a taste for it.  :biggrin:

Sorry for off topic sway! Welcome again, it's always good to have another Canadian on board!  :shades:

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome from rainy Manitoba

As Pete said - the Canadian numbers slowly growing around this joint so we can get a Canadian Pass going.

We'll have to chat about tips for ordering, etc. I'm always up for a split.

Glad to have you aboard
