Hello fellow members that have undying passion for cigars.
I've been smoking cigars for nearly 45 years. I'm in my 60's with the heart of a 30 year old.
I am retired. My wife and I found ourselves stuck in Milwaukee when my job disappeared in early 2009 because of the recession.
To me, Milwaukee is like Mayberry on acid.
I love cigars more than just about anything. I also play bass. Even longer than my cigar years.
I don't go in for the trendy cigars that make you take out a mortgage on your house.
Instead, I love medium/full bodied cigars that are reasonably priced and fall within my monthly budget.
I have a pretty good palate. Smoking for as long as I have will do that.
My pop smoked cigars. And his pop smoked cigars. I'm carrying on the family tradition.
A friend, Cameron, turned me on to this group and he said you are all gentlemen. I believe him.
I haven't joined a forum in years. Some are just downright nasty.
I like that this is a small group. Easier to get to know everyone.
So, I am happy to be here...I must be going.
Big smile!
I have a question: My first review had photos. But they are tiny. I uploaded from my computer. What do I need to do to enlarge the photos like the other reviews?

Greetings and welcome to CigarBum!
Phil: I use PhotoBucket (mainly because it's free). Upload to there, then when you click on your photos there, you can right-click and "Copy Image URL" then paste that into your posts here to embed them.
