And as we say here... come to Wisconsin and smell our fresh dairy-air! :)

So a relative newcomer and lover of the leaf. Had my first "real" stick about 2 years ago but finally got serious just this past summer with a La Aroma De Cuba EE from the Tasting Room in Monona (thank you Bryant!). I live about a mile and a half from there on Madison's east side. 36, a contractor by profession, and am here to learn more about this fantastic new hobby we share and to meet some great folks.

So yeah, that's my intro and I look forward to great times and great smokes.

Salut!

:ccool:

Lived in Watertown as a kid for a while and went to Cub Scout camp in Oconomowoc. Good times.

Had several of your citizens remind us Scouts how Oconomowoc is the only town that has 'O' as every other letter!

Thanks to you and others for the warm welcome.

:welcome: from Minnesota :waving:

I'm about 2-1/2 hours west of you, just north of lacrosse on the Minnesota side. Hope we get a chance to get together for a smoke some time!

My gf manages a Kwik Trip down here (Kwik Stars in MN), and we go to KT corporate in La Crosse a few times a year. We hike in Grand Dad Bluffs and put the boat on the Mighty Mississip' every chance we get. We'll be in your neck of the woods in December.

How's the b&m's up there?

Nice! We'll have to grab a stick soon. I'm off Fair Oaks... near Seversin's Citgo.

You a reg at TTR?

I'm out past the interstate between Cottage Grove Road and Buckeye. I go to TTR quite a bit when a need a few sticks or I'm just looking (and end up spending too much). They close too early for me to go there and have a cigar after dinner, but I do have a smoking room in my house. I put TTR in the B&M section - I was surprised they weren't there aleady.

Check out the HERFs section when you get a chance - I'm trying to get some BOTLers in the area together. I know there are at least 4 or 5 of us in the area.

I'm in Winona about 30 miles north. Actually used to work for Kwik Trip myself about 30 years ago. Great company.

The B&Ms up here are pretty poor unfortunately. :( Winona has one shop that is outrageously high due to MN taxes and very poor selection. LaCrosse has a small local place called the Briar Patch. The best place is the Tobacco Outlet Plus ( division of Kwik Trip) but they do not have a lot if the good stuff that I like. Most of my purchases are either online or from the brothers here. I also hit the shops in Chicago and Lake Country in Oconomowoc whenever I am I'm in the area and get the chance. Lately I've been in Chicago about once a month.
