Welcome from Ohio. Happy to have more international brothers here. Tell us more about the cigars you like , how long you've been into cigars, and any other interests you might have.

Cheers mate,

I'm a long time smoker of cigarette and pipe tobacco, but I have given up recently and am now focusing on Habanos.

I enjoy RyJ - Mille Fleurs, Quintero - Favoritos and Monte No4's. All completely standard noobie Habanos I know, but enjoyable for me at the moment. I look forward to trying them all and getting into the hobby properly.

I work in regional Queensland Australia on a roster, coal seam gas project and next time I rotate home my new Adorini Chianti Deluxe humidor will be waiting for me. :)
I already wish I had of gone bigger though :p Being in sunny QLD I'm also looking at purchasing a Vintec Wineador at some stage, with the active humidity control.

I'm keen to meet some new people and learn about all the possible sources of Habanos.

Welcome from the great state of Texas! My wife's family all live in either Melbourne or Brisbane. What part of QLD do you call home?
Where in Queensland? East (Rocky, Brisy, or further west like Emerald, etc
Thanks very much for the warm welcome guys. Reading through some of the posts here there are some great people on this forum.

I'm about 30minutes west of Brisbane (my home). Which happens to be taxi distance to Havanathon 2015 :p another recent discovery I couldn't be happier about other than BOTL. But I work out near Chinchilla (3hours west of Brisbane)

Good day, sir! My son visited Australia aboard the USS Independence, during y'alls celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea, and he said y'all treated he and his shipmates like heroes. Glad for the chance to thank you! Welcome from N. Texas!

Welcome from Texas. I had a bit of fun with the Aussie's and the Kiwis when I was deployed to Egypt. Glad you found us.
I bet you did! Got a few mates in the service and I must say they know how to drop their bundle good and proper.

It's great to hear he was greeted warmly, but let's face it the battle of the coral sea is one of the most underrated battles in our history! Many people don't realise just how much it helped the war effort and how it leveled the playing field in the battle of midway soon after, contributing greatly to allied success. From memory the Japanese sunk more ships but it was a turning point in the war that wont be soon forgotten by anyone in my family!

I was up to see David Hudson in Cairns round about 2000... and some greenie old man I was chatting with was going on about how us yanks made the war worse for Oz. It was a little bit funny in that like in America… Older people can be stubborn even when you present them with facts.

I know... I'm old

Y'all have shown strength and tenacity in conflicts ever since!
