Hello from an Italo/Scottish newbie

[MaledettoToscano]

A quick greeting to the forum,

have been reading you on and off for a while and thought it was time to play peeping-tom and join the fun.

I'm an Italian living in Scotland (although to be honest i spend more time in Hotels around Europe).

Up to now my smoking has mainly been celebratory, I have always tried to keep up the tradition of smoking a nice Cuban for special occasions, but I must have caught the Habanos bug as I keep thinking of buying my first Humi any time soon and get some nice smokes in there. So I am pretty much a newbie and look forward to learning from the experts here.

Ciao,
Alberto

Hi Alberto, I used to have a big boss in Milan called Alberto (shiver down spine).

Welcome and I feel a Scottish Herf heading over the hill.

Welcome and don't listen to the Chilli eating Sombrero wearer, he's loco.
Ciao

Thank you for the welcome guys.

nicwing: I always enjoy the exchanges yu guys have with the Chilli eating Sombrero wearer, plus he has a very impressive humidor !

Ciao, and welcome aboard Alberto!


Glad you've decided to make yourself known, unfortunately this place can be bad for your wallet. You will soon be buying a humidor that is about three times the size of the one you had been thinking of...

Hi Mald.

What does Maledetto mean, please?

Is it something to do with bad saying / swearing, or... scorned / mocked?

I'm OK with the Toscano bit.

Welcome.

Welcome, good to have you here.

Never more a true word spoken. One day you'll look back and laugh at that as you unwrap the 7 drawer cabinet thats just been delivered.

7 drawers! Peer pressure at work

Maybe not 7 drawers, but I have already decided 25 cigars is too small. At the moment I am thinking 50, though 100 seems tempting !

Yes Italians have an interesting history in the North, but my arrival in Scotland is a lot more recent !
