Figured I’d do an intro post and start participating rather than lurk.  Got into CC on a trip to the island in 2015 with no prior knowledge of cigars.  Bought a few cigars and smoked them all while there, and somehow came home with a box of PSD5s and Mag46s and a few other tubos.  Smoked them here and there in the past few years, where they started to really improve in flavor.  
 

Never seriously got into it as a hobby until a few months ago, where on a whim I ordered a 2 boxes of Trinidad Reyes, one for a friend as a thank you gift...and the other, I managed to smoke half of in a week after I cracked it open. Since then I’ve ordered a few more boxes to start aging based on prior sampling and some key reviews here, and I think I’ve got the sickness.  Right now various tupperdors are holding boxes of PSD5, Mag46, Connie A, PLPC, Trin Reyes, JL1, Lusitania, and CoRos.  From all the reviews, 2019/2020 have been good years for CCs so I figured now is a good time as any to put a few boxes down to start aging.
 

Currently smoking through the half corona sampler from the 24:24 a while ago to find some more short smokes that I like and help to refine my palate with a broader exposure to other Marcas.  Besides the Reyes, I definitely liked the Partagas shorts, Bolivar CJ and the SCDH El Principe.  Dunno if it’s the one stick I had so far of it but the RASCC was definitely not to my liking, but I’ll have to try the other three to give it a fair shake. HUHC was enjoyable, could also see getting a box. Currently contemplating what boxes to get next as they lay down for the New England winter.  Maybe some Trinidad Coloniales, as I gravitate towards 50RG and below for the most comfortable smoking experience. 
 

Looking forward to reading more posts and getting ever deeper in the sticks.

Welcome to the FOH!  To me, HUHC is kinda smaller MAG 46 in terms of flavor buddy ?

Probably why I enjoyed it! Short smokes are great since they last me about an hour when I’m really enjoying them.

They're great CCs especially when you only have a short time for puffing CCs. ?
