New Bums Introduction Thread

[JustTroItIn]

Hello All. My name is Jack and I've been smoking cigars since High School, though only regularly since January of 2014. I started smoking a pipe in Spring 2014 and now smoke my pipe daily and cigars weekly. I'm currently sipping on a bowl of S&G FVF in a Lilliput. Earlier today I enjoyed a La Aurora 1495 while tinkering in the garage.

While it's a shame that Puff, and all of the information on it, will not be returning, it's good to see veterans of the site will be returning to their roots with a not for profit site.

I'm Chris from Indianapolis. Was only a member of Puff for about 3 months, but happy to be here. I've smoked cigars for as long as I can remember, but only within the last year have I really taken it up as a hobby. I quit drinking and smoking cigarettes 3+ years ago, so this is my only vice now. For me, the online community, and this group in particular, have been invaluable for me as far as learning to enjoy the hobby correctly. The people on Puff have made the hobby so much more enjoyable, both with their willingness to share their immense wealth of knowledge, and as just genuinely good, friendly BOTL/SOTLs.

Just glad this community will continue to stay together.

Chris, glad you made it over here! We're going to create the kind of place that every cigar enthusiast can call home. Welcome and we hope you'll call this your online home!

Well my name is Dennis from the NYC area. I have always enjoyed the occasional cigar. Believe it or not I quit smoking after starting cigars the taste was just horrible. Well now that I'm retired from the Marines I have more time to enjoy this hobby. I started seriously getting smokes about 4 months ago and found Puff great for camaraderie and enjoying the hobby. I look forward to growing this community. If you need any help running the site let me know I'm willing to help out. So lets all be great Bums and grow this site.

Hey y'all...I hate that Puff bit the dust, but kudos to Don for this new forum. I joined Puff in January 2010, same name then as I have now! Haha. I'm old, and like Don, I started pipes and cigars back in the late 70s. Love my pipes. I'm looking forward to all the fun as this forum grows.

I hope TonyBrooklyn and JimInks can find us here.

Hey Buddy!
