Decatur. Yourself?

Welcome, Chain_Gang.
Glad to have you here!

I have approved all of your posts awaiting moderation. Our apologies for any delay. That should go away. Just a little measure to protect the forum from nefarious spammers.

We go there at least once a year to do the Windsor Castle Park and check out the cool downtown area. If you come to Virginia Beach, check out Emerson's for a great selection and nice lounge.

No good tips here as I don't typically chase the limited stuff, other than the TAA releases which are widely available. I just don't see the point of chasing something I'll only be able to smoke once and never get again. So I'm not much help with that. @SoCal gunner is your man for that sort of thing - he's a baller that buys every limited thing that comes along. He's a big Ezra Zion guy at the moment but I'm trying to get him on some decent smokes :poke:

I've bought from Emerson's online but never made it to the actual store. From the website it looks like they do have a top notch humidor selection. One of these trips I'll get a chance to break away for a visit.

Haven't heard of the cigar podcast you mentioned but will look into it. I've got a buddy who shares an office with who listens to a youtube cigar show (cigars daily maybe). I used to listen to Cigar Dave, and still have his show favorited, but haven't listened to him in a while.

I enjoy checking out new and interesting podcasts. Let me know if you'd like more recommendations.

Please check out the Church Of What's Happening Now - it was my daily ritual to listen, and I'm trying to go back to Church daily. Be aware though, it's pretty vulgar, but raw with real conversations, and a good insight into mostly the host's life, the comedy industry and lives of comedians.

The HIBT episodes with Daymond John and Herb Keller are awesome.
