Hello Everyone!

[Rippen]

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ken, but everyone calls me Rippen. I've been enjoying cigars for 20+ years, and just recently stumbled across this web site. I look forward to meeting you all on the pages and hope to find and make new friends.

Welcome! Where are you from? What are some of your favorite smokes?

Welcome from Eastern Tennessee

Welcome!

Welcome.

Word of advice, don't make friends with any of these a-holes. You'll end up having to replace multiple mailboxes, porches and possibly even a wife or two if she ever gets the mail!

Thanks guys for the welcome, and the warnings as well. I'll be sure to keep my guard up.

I'm from the great, and sometimes very cold state of Minnesota. It can be a tough place to enjoy a good cigar during the winter months, but I find ways. Anybody else from Minnesota?

I often enjoy Ashton brands but also CAOs I find pretty tasty too. I prefer dark maduros, but will mix it up sometimes with a blonde or medium churchill. I recently bought a box of Le Aroma De Cuba, MI Amors. They're not bad at all. I wish I could afford better, but alas, I'm a working guy.

Welcome @Rippen I usually stick to cigar jones and Tabacco grove for my b&ms. They tend to stock a little more of the brands I like.
