I am 21 and I'm an assistant manager at a Tile Retailer. I live with my GF of 3 years and am loving life :) We have a cat named Lord Earl Grey that is part of the family. Wanted a dog, but the house is too small :lol: I also have my own Cigar Forum
I like a wide range of cigars, mostly NCs as the CCs I like are too damned expensive in the UK. When I have the time, I like to enjoy Churchill/Double Corona sized cigars, although time very rarely permits it. So I usually smoked Robustos or Corona Gordas. I started smoking cigars because I thought it looked "cool". Smoked one and the rest is history. I had always loved the smell and didn't realise the taste could be better.
My first real cuban was a Cohiba Siglo I. I had only smoked a couple of NCs before trying this and the Cohiba kicked my arse. I remember thinking to myself why the hell I had put myself through that. My palate has prgoressed and now I enjoy full bodied and stronger cigars.
My most memorable cigar experiences were:
Best Experience - Smoking a Fuente 858 Sun Grown gifted to me by a BOTL in America. It was the finest cigar I have smoked to date and the thought that somewhere across the pond in the US would want to gift a cigar to me, made it all the more enjoyable.
Worst Experience - Fuente Anejo 46 at 10am in the morning on an empty stomach. The cigar was fantastic and I would not hesitate to have another, but don't ever smoke one so early on in the day. I won't describe what happened, bt it wasn't pretty :lol:
My favourite cigars:
NC - Padron '26 Maduro, Tatuaje Cojonu '03 and '06, Illusione ~68~, Fuente Anejo 49, Fuente 858 SG
CC - Cohiba Sigle VI, Cohiba Esplendidos, RASS, HdM Epi Especial, Monte #2
I was an immature little *#@* when I was alittle younger, but soon realised the error of my ways. Mostly due to my GF and being able to relax with a good cigar.
