Hello all, Let me introduce myself as a new member from Columbus Ohio. My name is Josh, I'm 33 (had to do the math there) and have been smoking on and off for about a decade, although I still consider myself to be a newbie, and have far more to learn than to offer. I was out in San Francisco a couple of months ago and stumbled into a place called the Occidental Cigar Bar where I enjoyed a few sticks with friends, and an interest sort of re-surged, so I guess I'm getting into cigars, way more than ever before 
Over the last couple of weeks I've been trying lots of things (thanks to sites like CI and cbid), but last night I had a stick that simply blew my mind - in fact, it was a rare occasion where I took it to the nub, and it was a Gurkha Beauty. All I can say is WOW. The wife isnt thrilled with my 'new hobby' but I've agreed to keep my partaking down to no more than once daily, so she's cutting me a little slack I've been trying lots of different sticks lately,. everything from economy 2nds to higher-end stuff, and I'm still trying to decide what I do and don't like. A long road ahead of me, I'm sure. Anyway, I just wanted to take a moment to say howdy, and would love to make some new friends both online and in person.
Thanks for having me!
