Good Evening,

My name is Ian Hamel, I've been smoking cigars on and off for the past 10 years, but have recently (last year and a half) seriously engaged myself into the hobby.

I'm 33 years old, born in Connecticut but have lived in New Hampshire most of my life. By trade I work in Customer Service / Technical Support for Telecommunications Hardware Suppliers and Service Providers.

My current favorite cigars are the Liga Privada #9, T52, A. Fuente Hemingway Work Of Art Maduro and anything from EP Carrillo. I'm excited to get my hands on the upcoming release of the Undercrown as well as the EP Carrillo Maduro.

My local B&M would be Top Shelf / Federal in Epping, Plaistow and sometimes Portsmouth. Speedbump (Derek) has been kind enough to take me under his wing and help open my eyes to others brands/blends I might have otherwise overlooked. I hope to do right by him with my interactions on this board.

In closing I can't wait to learn more about this great hobby and meet some great fellow brothers of the leaf.

Wecome Ian,
I like your taste in cigars as those ar some of my favorites as well. Take a look around the review forum for some things you've yet to smoke.

welcome from Canada i also want to try a Undercrown
I was watching an interview with JD that talked abut the Undercrown and the idea that they were using the opposite composition from the Liga since they were buying entire crops, and it really intrigued me. It's not only cost effective and responsible as a consumer but also a great way to make use of the total supply at hand.
