Rich93 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I live in a western suburb of Chicago. I'm 66 years old and was a lifelong cigarette smoker until 26 months ago (but who's counting?). After being nicotine-free for 6 months or so, I was turned on to Cubans by a friend. When I was a cigarette smoker I never got much pleasure from the very occasional cigar that I smoked - I wanted the smoke in my lungs too much. Now, however, I love them. Needless to say, I don't inhale. I smoke one or two per day, but if it's two the second one will be a smaller cigar, like the Bolivar Corona Junior that I'm smoking as I write this. My favorite cigars so far are Monte 2, Partagas P2 and D4, Hoyo Epi 2, and RASS, and I'm always trying new ones. I seem to buy them faster than I smoke them and now have a stockpile of almost 500 cigars. I have one good-sized humidor that goes by the name of "Havana Foot Locker" or sometimes the Medici, and four Rubbermaid tupperdors that each hold two boxes. Although I've tried humidifying the foot locker with a Cigar Oasis, I've pretty much given up on it and now use Heartfelt bead tubes. Not being much of a drinker my typical accompaniment to a cigar is coffee and my smoking companions are usually my laptop and the two cars in my smoking room (the attached garage). Married, one son on his own, retired actuary. I enjoy this forum very much and have learned a lot from it. The Corona Junior is finished now and it's time to repair to the heated part of the house. 1

LordAnubis Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Welcome to FoH, being in the part of the world that you are... did the recent announcement by your president push you to find some habanos websites? I'm just curious that's all

Rich93 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 Welcome to FoH, being in the part of the world that you are... did the recent announcement by your president push you to find some habanos websites? I'm just curious that's all No, I've been lurking here for a while now. But the recent announcement may cause me to get a couple more tupperdors and stock up some more just in case the increased demand for Cubans make them harder to obtain or more expensive.
