Brit, temporarily (2 years) living in Spain, working for Big Tobacco (but not cigars) , recently rediscovering cigars and taking it to the inevitable level of Obsessive this time!

Compared to UK, Europe is cheap for cigars - like proper 50% cheap - so I'm taking advantage of that.  
Just don't tell Mrs W how much my current online cart is stting at... (nor that I'll need to "just nip over" to Germany to collect it... Basically, it's an investment, right? Saving money on prices back home? And let's face it, who doesn't need 382 cigars in a single order - right brothers? Sisters?)

Not sure you guys in the US know how good you got it pricewise! Or at least have historically had it... Yes, we got Habanos on tap - but we got crazy taxes, bans on online retail and/or Government fixed prices - No discounts!!!! Just keeping my fingers crossed for you guys that FDA doesn't screw it all up for you. And if you've heard of TPD, you'll know I feel your pain - here, especially when it comes to vaping (hope that's not a dirty word on CG! Live and let live I say!)

I'm basically loving life, fine wine, fine whisky, sun for more than 3 1/2 days a year, and the pleasing effects of nicotine,  caffeine and any other stimulant Nature has provided. Looking forward to looking & learning, trying & tasting, spending & hiding!

Welcome from LA!  Great intro!

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.
