cigarsmoka, first off, please accept my apologies for not stepping up to welcome you sooner. Thankfully, Bigg Bosss Mann, knowing of my recent troubles, stepped up to do so, and I thank him for that. I'd like to thank you for joining, and certainly welcome any and all participation on your part.
Although Moderator of this forum, I am by no means a "resident expert." I have been smoking cigars for just about eight years, have tried about 100 different brands, a number of them Jen[nifer] U. Whyne Kyoobin cigahhhs, however:
(i) because of finances, have not kept up with "new releases";
(ii) have not been able to recently experiment with my palate and expand my horizons;
(iii) have not kept up with news of the great masters or various corporate and private ventures;
(iv) have not added the finishing touch to my basic knowledge of the Wonderful World of Cigars; and
(v) have only marginally kept up with my favorite web sites as far as prices and offerings go.
Someone such as yourself coming here has been a long desired addition, as I have always told the membership that it would be a blessing to get some people on here besides myself to add the touch of knowledge, experience and color that I am lacking in bringing to the table. Once again, thank you for coming and I hope to see you around.
As for me, I will not be apparent much over the next couple of days, although I spend a lot of time looking in without being logged on, just to keep an eye out. I am going to spend most of the next two days eating, drinking, sleeping, laying around and trying to recuperate while I listen to my knees, lower back, hips, neck, wallet and mind screaming at me for relief.
Ladies and Gentlemen, . . .
START YOUR CIGARS!!!
:dunno: :duh:
