This has been a long time coming. I was an avid Cigar Smoker years ago and gave it up when we had kids and but have always had a few in the Humidor. Every once in awhile I would break one out when the wife/kids were away or I was traveling and I can enjoy a smoke by myself but the times were far and few between.

Fast fwd to present day and my oldest recently graduated High School. In preparation for his party, I busted out the sorely neglected Humidor with about 10 old sticks, seasoned, cleaned and let it go for about 4-6 weeks and they are in pretty good shape.

To be safe, I also went to my local B&M  and bought a handful of Arturo Fuente Naturals and some cheap sticks. Since that day, I've been Geeking out on all things Cigars.  Have restocked the humidor, mostly with sampler packs and some Cigar Bid deals to re-figure out what I like.


I really enjoy keeping track of what I've smoked and my own personal ratings as well so just set up my humidor here to try to keep things in sync.

Looking fwd to lurking, learning and eventually participating in a Pass.

Welcome from New Mexico Steve.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

Welcome to the group Steve!

Being in Atlanta you need to see if you can find some Xiphos cigars. The brand belongs to one of our members who is also in Georgia, they are very affordable and very good cigars.
This is not the admin you're looking for...

Funny you mention that.   I found a local B&M and they had a Can of Xiphos.   I didn't buy but looked them up and seems like they (or at least the Company Address) is in my backyard

Will have to try and get my hands on some
