I am well on my way, thanks to all of you

[lovenhim]

Well here is an update. I am well on my way to enjoying my first cigar. I am not sure what it will be yet. I have a few coming with a humidor, and also a Ronson lighter. I have a twin blade stainless steel cutter, a cigar ashtray, and butane. Once the items arrive then I can start to put all the pieces together just like I have been told from all this help. Thank you very much for helping me learn and leading me in the right direction.

Glad to hear you are joining the masses! I hope your first cigar is as enjoyable as I know mine was. Welcome to the club, er.....I mean asylum!

I second that idea, as it will switch from hobby to obsessive-compulsive disorder really quickly!

No worries there, I do not own a credit card and I have no debt. If I can not buy it outright, I do not buy it. I just bought a $0.97 cigar ashtray & a $1.87 Ronson butane from Wally's World. It is not pretty but it is functional. LOL

Don't let anyone get a hold of my address???? But how can people send me stuff if I do not give it out? After all folks on here have mild/newbies smokes just sitting there that they will never smoke because they like full bodied stuff. LOL

Well, it's hard to explain, but you'll learn

My best advice to you:

Don't let anyone get ahold of your address. haha.

Good luck in finding a cigar you will enjoy. If you can, find a cool evening, a sunset, a nice beverage and a tall tree to talk to. Smoke slow.

You read my mind. I am all over that one. To me....and being a newbie....this is about enjoying the smoke and experience. It is not about the gadgets and the gear. I enjoy wet shaving with a DE (double edge) razor and for me it is about the quality of the shave and not the gear. I own one fantastic shaver, one sweet brush, and soap I make myself. I am a simple person and I enjoy the simple things in life, so doing what you said is right up my alley.

That's hilarious, but so true. Swelling just went back down from last week's assault!!

Look at what came in the mail today. I am so grateful and thankful. I can not wait to see this in person. I am at my cousins house helping him out after a hospital stay. He is doing fine but want to make sure all is ok before I go back home. My wife tooks the pics for me, so here they are. Thank you very much for this great newbie gift.

Brother, those are some great sticks and a great Hit.

When you get home, if you wouldn't mind, start a new thread with the pics in place so we can all have a better look. Hope all is well with your Cousin.

Alright I can post those pics in another thread if you would like. Now on to the mowing in the dark. Yes that is what I sometimes do. It has been too hot to cut grass in the day, so you either do it at 6am or 9pm. The flashlight that was on the mower was a 4Sevens Quark 123 X2 tactical model. The light can be found here

and I was also wearing another light on my ball cap which was this model:

I was cutting the grass for my mother, so this was my quick solution to the problem. This place is the Cigar ASYLUM....right? I am in the right place I think.

So many to try, but so little money. And all the limited releases aren't helping, either!
