Hey all, I'm Blake... and I'm a cigaraholic.
I'm from the province of Nova Scotia but currently live in Saskatchewan up here in the great white north. Pretty new to cigars but really enjoying my, both feet first, jump into the hobby. I've always had an interest but for one reason or another (mostly lack of disposable income) I've never really gotten into the hobby other than the odd captain black or old port gas station cheapies (term used loosely here in Canada). Summer of 2014 I stumbled upon the 2 threads on puff about Companies that deliver to Canada and became hooked on the idea, lurked around for a while then finally joined the forum and pulled the trigger on my first order and have been hooked ever since.

Recently my grandfather has been diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer and being this far away as his condition deteriorates I've spent alot of time remembering him as a child. He was a pipe smoker for years and the smell of someone burning a bowl always throws me back to spending summers visiting him. So because of all this, along with my journey into cigars, I'm taking the first steps into pipe smoking as well. Awaiting my first order as we speak and can't wait to jump into that side of the hobby too.

With both of these similar hobbies I'm sure, with time, I'll find the same amazing comradery and advice on here as the was on the previous site. And just maybe, in time, I'll be qualified enough to add to it and help another noob get off the ground in this amazing hobby.
