Hi Folks,
A member of the pipe smokers forum I am a member of suggested this forum to me, now that the cigar bug has bitten.
Over the past 30 years I have always been mildly interested in cigars, but only to the extent of going into a B&M about once every two years or so and randomly grabbing a handful of sticks without rhyme or reason.
I started pipe smoking 1 1/2 years ago and now would very much like to better educate myself on cigars as well.
I put together a tupperdor a few weeks back and am slowly starting to find what I like and don't. So far I have really liked the following:
Padron: 2000 Natural
Oliva: Series G Cameroon Special G
Oliva: Series G Maduro Special G
Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe
To me, these seem fairly mild, however they are very tasty sticks IMHO and limited experience.
Anyhow,
Just wanted to introduce myself and give a bit of background.

Welcome to Cigar Bum!
Coincidentally, the Oliva Special G was one of my very first cigar purchases myself that got me down the cigar path. We look forward to your knowledge and participation in our pipe forums as well!
Feel free to ask questions or seek help.

Welcome Lazy!!
A good Cameroon can't be beat! And to stay economical you can't beat the Oliva. Fuente uses Cameroon as well.
Anyway, welcome aboard! Looking forward to your contributions.

We are glad you are here Lazy. If you have any questions, feel free to start a thread and ask. The only stupid questions are the ones that don't get asked.
