Hi one and all! Dave here from the Eastern Shore of Maryland Originally from Richmond, VA. Moved to MD when I was 38. Just joined this family today. . .actually found it while searching for coupon codes. No luck on the codes, but I think I'm gonna like this better as time goes on

I've only been into this hobby / passion since May, and so far have just smoked 3 - 4 times a month, but I've spent a lot of time reading, watching cigar and humidor reviews on YT, etc....and buying stogies online!! Always looking to learn more about cigars, different types of tobaccos, how and where grown, differences between them - --and really anything relating to this fantastic hobby. Also enjoying keeping detailed "journal" entries abut each stick I smoke.
Thanks for reading this rambling blather, and for letting me be a part of the family.

Dave

Welcome.

One thing for coupon codes I do: make a new email dedicated to cigar stuff, and sign up for emails from the different online vendors with that new email. Now all codes are in one spot Hope this helps, but be warned your wallet may suffer!

Also, most places (us included) will send a coupon code if you put an item into your shopping cart and fill out all of the info for shipping but then do not proceed to checkout.

Another coupon tip- contact them saying you’re a first time customer and just politely ask if they have any coupon codes. This has surprisingly worked for me numerous times! I think most places know how much competition is out there

Welcome to Cigar Bum! So far, what cigars/brands have you really enjoyed?

Thank you!! It's kind of embarrassing to say, considering I've been in this hobby for 3 months now, but - between my wife's well meant but extreme fear of "health risks" and the often rainy/ miserable weather we get here on the Shore...coupled w/ the fact I can't smoke inside - I haven't smoked many! That being said, of the ones I've had, my 3 faves (in order) are: 1) Macanudo Cafe Hyde Park, 2) Drew Estate Legends, and 3) Factory Smokes Sweet. The only 2 I disliked from what I've had were the Oliva Serie G, and Perdomo 10th Anniversary Reserve Champagne epicure. The Oliva I just flat did not like. The Perdomo was a different story, I liked the flavor of it pretty well, but it seemed a bit stronger than I was prepared for!! Before I finished it, I was sweating and nauseous. Not sure why because I smoked it on a full stomach and, if anything, probably smoked it slower than most people would. Anyway, I've put the Champagne on my "give it another try later" list so it'll get another chance once I'm more experienced and my Nicotine tolerance has improved.

[QUOTE=KRam311;223134]Yay I'm not the new guy anymore! Welcome, this place is great! Beats the hell outta Reddit… everyone is so friendly. Haha I found it by searching for codes too

Hey Kevin!! Thanks for the welcome!! So with me showing up, you've moved up a rung on the seniority totem poll, eh?...LOL...that's a good thing!! I've always hated being the "lowest guy on the totem poll" ever since I showed up as a Freshman for my first day in high school! Fortunately, though, I'm getting the feeling I'm gonna like being part of CigarBums a LOT more than I did being a high school student. I've already caught a glimpse of what you mean about everyone being very friendly. Exactly what I was searching for (if you don't include the coupon codes, that is). Now if everyone can just stay awake for my novel length posts (like this one), all will be good. On the other hand, if you ever get insomnia, you know what to read to cure it...just look through my posts...LMAO. Good to "meet" ya friend.
