Hey everybody! My name's Rich, from Kings Park, NY on Long Island, and I've been lurking around the forum here for a couple of days, so I figured it's about time I made myself a formal introduction.
It was my 19th birthday in the beginning of June, and a couple days afterwards I was walking in Riverhead and came upon a cigar store. I purchased a Macanudo Thames, cut it with my swiss army knife and enjoyed my first cigar on the side of the Potomac River. Since then I've tried six or seven cigars, and kept very rudimentary notes (among favorites, good, not bad, would not have again). I've liked mostly milder cigars, the Thames, an Avo Uvezian no. 2 Tubo, and a Macanudo Hampton Court.
Any recommendations for other smokes to try? I'm also looking for a small, inexpensive humidification solution. Right now my humidor is my sock drawer and whatever tube the cigar came in, which hasn't been the best thing. What would you guys suggest if I don't want to break 40 or 50 bucks? How's that cigar caddy?
I look forward to a summer and a semester at school of enjoying cigars, refining my pallet and my notation and the knowledge this forum has to offer.
Lastly, is there anybody else living on Long Island around the Kings Park, Smithtown, Northport, Commack area? Where do you tend to buy your cigars?
