Gabriel here,
Thought I would write a few lines in the newbie section. This forum I have found to be very informative with a relaxed atmosphere to boot. The area where I reside at present is not exactly awash with cigar smokers ie along the border which separates Northern Ireland and The Irish Republic. Graduated recently from the University of Ulster in Coleraine with a BA (Hons) degree in French/Japanese and European Studies. I have to admit that I am more of a linguist by design than personal choice. Moreover my degree was an unmitigated disaster from day one. Yet won't bore you with a tale of woe. These days,I am searching the good ship Employment only to find that sinking feeling as rejection letters come flooding in continiously. Biding my time then doing a spot of language tuition, mainly French and one or two Irish students. Methinks I need to take flight and head for pastures new but Procrastination is one of my additional middle names.
Hobbywise I have just finished some golf lessons only yesterday. Next step is to take to the course weather permitting. I play badminton though roughly 2/3 times a week. I like also creative things like art, writing, photography etc as well as having an eclectic mix of musical taste.
On the cigar front it was good to see the posting that Monte put up and the recommendations from people who have bought from him. I have been getting my cigars up to this point from a retailer in Lisburn. I have shied away thusfar from buying say a box of 25 of one particular cigar. I tend to purchase sampler sets of cigars and do a Boots ie Mix n Match. The ones I prefer would probably be Bolivar/Montecristo/Punch in the Havana bracket followed by the non Cubans namely Charatan and Balmoral. The shop owner Tony is going to get me some Trinidad/Cohiba/Ramon Allones/Vegas Robaina over the next few weeks.
Think that will do for now.
