Well Hi all,
Thought I should ome forward shove my hand up and say hello been reading through the forums for a few days now..
Anyway here I am hidden away in deepest darkest Dorset, so a bit about myself.. I am Joe, other than a new found love of Cigars I am a freediver and spearfisherman with a huge love of the sea, seafood.. oh and single malt whiskey!
I have not long returned from my honeymoon in Cuba.. hence the love of cigars I managed to get quite caught up in the whole culture etc there. We stayed in Playa Pesquaro (sp?) but I managed to fit in a cigar factory tour and a trip to Havanna.. loved it all!
Anyway now I am back im on the look out for a cheap but stylish humidor.. swmbo says if I am having one in the house it has to be nice to look at! and hopefully filling it with a nice selection of cigars.. Im not a regular smoker, maybe one a week (well I hope to be!) Only had one since I returned as what few cigars I did manage to bring home are awaiting their new home!
As for what I returned with..
Cohiba Esplendiso's (no not in a glass top box from the beach )
Cohiba siglo 2
partagas serie D P4
partagas deluxe
Monte cristo no4
monte cristo petit tubos
Romeo Juliet churchills
Well what have I enjoyed so far.. the Esplendisos were nice, very nice but too pricey! I have also tried a partagas deluxe which was much more flavoursome (I think) and I really enjoyed.. looking forward to a P4 now and last night I had the monte cristo petit tubos.. not such a fan if I am honest the first half was very spicy/strong but I persevered and the second half was rather good!
Looking forward to trying some more, learning a whole lot more and maybe building a little collection to enjoy and to age.. guessing I will be a singles man, smoking few and far between I think i'll enjoy the choice between different flavours and styles.. not to mention they will look nice!
So hello and good smoking, hope to hang around a good while.
Joe
