Ok. Where is the party at? Who's got the Havana Club rum and Dunhill's to fire up?

[Dijit]

Morning all, Heard about this place on the asylum thought I would check it out. Long time cigar smoker and enthusiast. Small time cigar collector, I guess I smoke them almost as fast as I get them.

I'm another Don. Smoking cigars seriously for about 10 years now, started with a pipe when I was 15. No age here but that was a long time ago. Love my Bourbon,
love my craft beer also. Work full time and have a motorcycle shop as well. Happy to see some of the old names showing up. Hopefully this will become our vision
of what a great forum can be with the help of great members.

Great to be back online with the crowd

Hey guys...just wanted to introduce myself. You might remember me from passes or bombs that I sent out over the course of the year.

Been smoking for about a year. I've found some very enjoyable sticks over the course of that time and I feel like I'm still expanding my pallet. I enjoy cigar pairings. Particularly with coffee or tea in the morning and spirits (bourbon, scotch or whiskey) and craft beer in the evenings. In addition to cigars my other hobby is training and trialing Spaniels. I have three field bred English Cocker Spaniels and one field bred Spring Spaniel.

I'm glad you guys set this new forum up. Puff has always been my home and I enjoyed the overall feel of it. Looking forward to being here while this one expands.

On a side note, I'm working on contacting people that I had been in contests with. Please PM me information so we can get it resolved.

I'll help spread the word around with the email contacts i have but it looks like many of them are here already.

Hello my name is David, you knew me previously on Puff as the witty and charming MDSPHOTO. I figured since we are starting a new forum I would start with a new handle as well, so you can call me Browns7213 or David or butthead or whatever. I'm glad to see the driving force behind Puff start a new place to live, laugh, love and share everything we can about our beloved hobby. Truth be told, I was exploring the purchase of Vbulletin and servers costs to start my own Puff refuge, but I'll put that on the back burner for now and see how this site pans out. Like others I'm very disappointed to see a site I devoted so much of my time and energy to just go away with no notice, the content remaining on those servers is priceless. After that loss, I think I am going to paper reviews of cigars so that I can always reference them in the future.

@HerfNTurf let me know what I can do to help.

Good morning Brothers!!
Glad to see so many familiar handles! Hope to see many more as word gets out about our new home!
My name is Brian and I've been enjoying cigars for over 20 years. But I've only gotten seriously into storing & exploring the many wonderful brands/blends available about 1 1/2 years ago when I was given a few sticks from an event and got a brand that I never heard of. You see I manly smoked the mainstream cuban "named" sticks. So I hopped online to find out more about the cigar. In doing so I ran across a few forums, puff being the 1st one I signed up on.
I met a lot of great people & learned sooooooo much! And, am still learning. I went from an occasional cigar & no storage to a 40 ct humi & smoking 3 or more per day! Now, thanks to the info I learned from most of you guys, along side that 40 ct I also have 2 tupperadores holding ~50 each & a wineador holding ~200 (it's only a 12 btl).
I'm the father of 3 children (20, 15 & 11) & married to my best friend. I enjoy a good libation (scotch, tequila, wine & beer), cooking, motorcycles, most anything called sports (finally trying to play golf) & spending quality time with my family. And of course, a good cigar.
Thank you guys for bringing back this community!
