Hey everyone
Newbie here from San Diego! Im new to the afficionado world -- about two months in. I'm in that really fun stage where I finally got retrohaling down to the point where I don't have to think about it anymore -- and I'm starting to be able to taste/recognizd notes of flavors in my cigar. Had an Oliva V Melanio for the first time about a week ago and it blew my mind! So many transitions!

Anyways, I'm currently now experimenting with everything while trying to grow my stash and my pallet. I've been on a Maduro kick lately. Currently have a 100 count desktop humi but am currently eyeing a wineador. Even though I live in San Diego, the summer heat has been rough and I've been battling trying to keep temperatures at a respectable level in my humi. Came home from work the other day to my humi being 82 degrees (Yikes!) It's been bothering me so much that I've "accidentally" left my AC on while at work the last few days. Hoping the temp dies down soon.

Anyways -- there seems to be a lot of solid people here that are super knowledgeable. Ive been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to join

Thanks

Kurt

Welcome Kurt! I'm a bit up the road from you in Glendora. I'm new around here as well, and had been dealing with the same situation as you, (90 to 100 degrees day after day here), and was frustrated with the temp in my home. I went ahead and bought a wineador and haven't looked back. Do it if your budget allows. Anyway, welcome aboard!

Greetings, @BKurt, from a brother in Minnesota! I like the Oliva Series V Melanio Maduro Figurado. I like the flavor profile a lot. If you are interested in Cigar blending here is a video you might like to watch.
