I started smoking cigars in 1989, and fortunately for me, I smoked everything from Cubans to some pre-embargo cigars as well as all kinds of Dominican, Nicaraguan, Honduran, and other "countries" cigars. I love all shapes and sizes, but my favorite are the belicoso, torpedo, or the piramide size. I had to stop in the year 2000 because I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Going through the whole cancer fight, and the continued fight against other diseases because of my low immunity, I finally realized one thing, and it's taken me over 15 years to do it. You might as well enjoy the things you love, and cigar smoking was one of those things I loved and am now continuing to love. The industry in the US has gotten fairly large since I've been gone, so hopefully, I can meet up with some BOTL brothers, and smoke some great new or old vitolas together!
