Greetings!

Afternoon, folks!

Relatively new, younger cigar smoker who discovered the hobby (who could call it anything else?) during a trip to cigar-friendly Austria last Christmas.

Needless to say it has been quite a journey from there. I have a few questions and a few stories so this place should come in useful. I need a new humidor for a start, preferably ?50-100 (after my first one turned out to be a joke), and am still chasing the elusive even burn for any over 42g width.

Generally smoke the more budget non-cuban ranges, which seem to be often overlooked in the UK, as I've not set out enough in life yet to have money to burn (pun intended!). To further confound things I'm not exactly in a smoke friendly environment with my flatmates, so its park-bench smoking for me!

Thanks all

Tom

Hi Tom

Welcome anyway...

Great to meet you Tom - board's just started out, so a good time to join :)

I discovered cigars on my first trip to Cuba, haven't stopped since.

Thanks guys -yes it will be nice to have been here from the start.

Monte -I like the look of the non-cuban stuff you are offering over in the sale section -just right for me. When I restock in mid September (off to India until then soon, and working in NI for the time being), you can definately consider me a customer.

No Problem Tom any time, look forward to supplying you with cigars;)
