Hi all-
My name is Brent, I'm in Norman, Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner!!). I've been smoking cigars occasionally for about 5 years, but things really took off when I quit cigarettes about a year ago. I'm a shooting enthusiast (and NRA/NAA instructor). Unfortunately, I've taken the 8 year plan in college, so pursuing the shooting sports and cigar smoking on a student's budget has kept things kinda small scale. I finally graduate in May, and hope to have a little more resources to devote to my vices.
My old roommate worked at a tobacconist, so I've tried a lot of sticks, but that was back a ways when I first started, and I can't tell you what I smoked. More recently: I tried an Opus X on impulse. Have to say I didn't do any backflips. I bought a single (and then a box of) cuban Cohibas in Jamaica on my honeymoon. They're quite tasty, and I think I got lucky and scored genuine. For as little as I knew at the time, it was just luck. My old roomie hooked me up with a box of Sancho Panzas for the bachelor party. Why is no one tooting that horn around here? What a smoke at a reasonable price! I have to say, though, that my favorite smoke to date has been the Cohiba XV 749. As soon as I can clear my mistake out of my humi (a Thompson bundle), I'll need a box of those.
I've been lurking about for a month now, finally decided to pipe up (and join the Cusano 18 guessing contest). Have gained LOADS of knowledge from this place; you guys rock!
Hi Fargo.
