Hola Amigos

[petechez]

Hi all, though i'd say a quick hello as a new member (be rude not to) so.....hello

I will posting in the Buy/Sell/Swap section shortly..

[bigbarneyhotdog]

Hola Amigo, welcome nobody will be interested in buying anything from you straight away though mate, bad form

[petechez]

Hi bigbarneyhotdog thanks. by bad form do you mean because i'm new etc??

[Bigboned]

Yep he does, try joining in the forum, if you have an interest in cigars then chat a little this is a nice friendly place but there are rules etc to stop this becoming eBay ie minimum post counts, all to often people try and make a quick buck with gifts from Cuba etc and that's not friendly or community spirited
So.... Welcome aboard relax and hold off on the selling

[Deano]

[petechez]

Cheers Deano, no worries at all

Welcome, pull up a chair, tell us more, what smokes are you into?

[petechez]

Hi CloseEmBoth, only recently been into smoking the big cigars. I wont try and waffle on like i know about cigars because i don't and somehow i think that would show here! I'd have the odd Hamlet or Henri Wintemans with my brother but other than that i'm not sure what i like. I tried a few in Cuba, one from the tour guide when we visited the cigar factory in Ciago De Avila (which i really enjoyed but couldn't tell you what it was, it's the one on my profile pic) Another one was a Bolvia that i just picked up from the shop there, again i'm not sure of the name - it was in a red tube. So, a novice right now but with xmas coming up i reckon there'll be plenty more. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner?

If you click on the C.Gars Ltd banner at the top of the page, have a mooch around there and go for one of the sampler packs.

Cool i'll have a look. I know i will probably crack open and share with me brothers the Cohiba Siglo V's i bought back from Cuba, seeing as it's christmas - although i'm a little too scared to open the boxes of III and VI

I am getting a bad feeling about this one!

How d'ya mean fella?

Did you per chance meet someone who's Uncles Brother worked in a factory?

[petechez]

Yeah it was actually Pedro the barmen he took me to his mums house!....and then he sold me 500quids worth of cigars for 40quid. I am of course joking and i do understand your cynicism (i read a post yesterday with some kid who's mother bought him back a box of Cohiba Robustos in a glass-top box.....quite amusing) The truth is i did buy proper Cohibas from the 'tabacos' shop in Cuba (see my pictures) and have nothing to hide regarding thier authenticity :-) i'm not a veteran cigar smoker granted, however i'm not a crook.
