  • Hello from South London

    Hi all,

    I registered a back in July but only making my first post today. I'm an occasional cigar smoker, something I got into on my honeymoon 2 years ago in Mexico. Having quit cigs nearly 3 years ago, I was desperate to smoke something whilst at an all-inclusive beach resort!

    I currently don't get to smoke many cigars, having taken up the habit just as my wife fell pregnant and living as I do in a 2nd/3rd floor apartment with 14 month old baby, no balcony/garden but, I've just today received my humidor (30ct from watchstrap.co.uk - yes, a budget option for the novice) which I'm about to season over the coming fortnight (using Boveda 84% packs), and then start to build a nice collection, which, by having them to hand and not having to plan each purchase/smoking opportunity in advance, will hopefully mean I get to smoke a bit more regularly than just holidays, gents camping trips or the odd hour or 2 snatched in a pub garden.

    Anyway, I've been lurking a fair bit and picked up some wonderful tips. It's a great site and I hope to contribute in the future.

    Wish me luck with the humi!

    Cheers,

    HB

    Hi HB and welcome to our obsession. Stick around and you may find some opportunities to get out and smoke. Whereabouts in Sarf London?

        Welcome onboard HB, amazing how many people start their cigar journey on their honeymoon! Sure we'll manage to persuade to slightly more frequent smoking although your situation doesn't sound great for the British winter, what's the protection like at the smoking areas in your local pubs?

          Cheers PeeJay, currently in East Dulwich, Southwark but expect to be moving further out in next 12 months. I see you're in Wallington - I have a few friends and family over that way.

              Thanks Simon G and Simon Bolivar. There's a few pubs with decent smoking areas/courtyards and most have a heater or 2 and some cover from the elements. I suspect I'll know the best ones for this come winter proper...

                Hi and welcome to the forum HB. Your name and lack of smoking space has given me an idea to buy up some old horseboxes, decorate them accordingly and scatter them about the country. We could call them 'Herf Boxes'![emoji13]

                      Better than earwaxuk, that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth!
