another new guy
Hi, my name is Brad, I’m an alc… sorry, wrong forum. I’m Brad and I like cigars. My journey into “real cigars” started about five years ago. Before that, I was a heavy cigarette smoker and had smoked the occasional King Edwards, El Producto and Swisser Sweet just to fit in (or so I thought) when I was with other cigar smokers. Little did I know they were laughing at me for smoking these nasty things. Anyway, one Saturday afternoon in April 2001 at a wedding (girlfriends friend from work) I was bored because I did not know anyone, so I went out to the cigar bar where I was promptly offered a Cohiba red dot corona. That was a good cigar! I decided to stay outside for another, and another. By 10:30 or so, I had had several cigars, made some new friends and had no idea that my gf went home at 7:00. She called and broke up with me the next day. Said I was rude for not staying inside with her and maybe that’s true but – oh well. This is getting kinda long so I will jump foreward to the here and now. I have not had a cigarette in over 4 years and I still have a place in my heart for the Cohiba red dot. However, I have developed a taste for the more spicy and bold flavors – hence the name corojobrad. Some of my favs are Cusano Corojo ’96, Partagas Black, Hoyo de Mont. Dark Sumatra, Rocky Patel Edge Corojo, Rocky Patel Vintage ’92, and CAO MX2 – in short, if its maduro or corojo I will like it.
On a side note, Capt. - best wishes to your Dad, my thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
