Hello all, I am Kevin and I am from Seneca Falls NY. Whether he knows it or not @Browns7213 referred me to the site through the garage journal forum. I have been smoking cigars since I was around 19 or 20 and am 36 now. I picked up cigars in the military and like most quickly graduated from the gas station version to going to the cigar shop in town. I was hooked and to this day smoke 1 or 2 every time I play golf which is around 1 or 2 times a week (Apr-Oct in NY). I dont consider myself a noob but I also dont consider myself to be anything above novice. I hang out with a few other cigar smokers and have learned a lot. I am up to a 30 count humidor thanks to the wife!
I try as many as I can get my hands on but with budget constraints I tend to only end up with my usual cigars. I tend to stick to medium to full bodied and mild to medium strength by default. I have a tough time with so many choices spending money on something I am not sure about. I am hoping to learn not only about smoking them but also finding trusted reviews similar to my tastes so I can make better purchase choices!
Thanks all
