First things first, yes, there really IS a Kalamazoo. Although I am pretty sure Elvis doesn't live here... Anyway, I am a cigar veteran who has been meaning to get around to signing up for BOTL for about a year now, but just finally got around to it. So a big hello to all you BOTL vets out there!
Enough about me, lets talk about... Me! I've been smoking for about 15 years now, just got more into it as a daily thing about a year ago. It's a tremendous social activity and an important part of my life on many levels.
I am here to make new friends and help culture my hobby and passion. There is always something new to know and learn. I often travel to different states for bigger cigar events or just to hit up shops to find stuff I can't find at home. It's hard to come by a big selection of hard to find rarities in such a small and isolated market such as Kalamazoo! So getting to know people here and trading with them is something else I look forward to.
To finance my cigar hobby, I own my own business and am a licensed builder & general contractor. I specialize in historic home restoration and always love a challenge. My job is great; I get to smoke cigars and play with powertools for a living, are you kidding me?
Surprisingly, I have a wife, and even more surprisingly, she is supportive and understanding of my hobby. Life is great sometimes, isn't it? Haha!
I also am a part time writer of fictional prose as well as verse. I enjoy nothing more then sitting out back with a fine cigar and an equally fine drink to match while putting pen to paper, the good old fashioned way!
I don't know what else to say, or if I have already said to much so I'll wrap it up there! Feel free to say hi, I can't wait to meet the people in here! Thanks for having me!

Regards,
Greg Worosz

Welcome from Ohio. An amazing intro. Mine sounded like i was at an AA meeting. Hi my name is Rob. Okay enough of this silliness. Do you stick mainly to NCs or do you prefer more CCs. What is your go to smoke? Okay I'll stop playing 20 questions. Welcome to the brotherhood.

Thanks for all hellos! CC vs NC... Wow thats not an easy answer really, I guess it depends on what I'm feeling like, really, love them both really... I mean, I start each morning at 5 am on the porch with a big mug of extra dark sumatran coffee and a very spectacular little first-smoke cigar, the CC quintero londres extra. Couldn't be a better way to start the day and watch the sun rise! But really, a lot of my "favorite" cigars are NC. I am a confessed liga privada whore for one, haha. I love a lot of really full flavor sticks, which a lot of CC's just aren't, not meaning they aren't as good though, the complexity and flavor spectrum make up for it. But for me, it doesn't get any better than a Dirty Rat. Only found these babies once, and after a 200+ mile drive, i was only able to grab a couple. I like complexity and full flavor in my sticks... My go to cigar? Without a doubt, liga T52. Same rules i use for my quinteros; have at least a full box on hand at all times, period. And I don't mind the 20 questions at all, how else are we gonna get to know each other better? Hahaha! Fire away if ya got any more questions!

Hi Greg

Welcome aboard. I'm in Portage just a stones throw south of KZOO.

Welcome brother! You are like a 1.5 hour drive from me, I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Good to see a brother so close and it also looks like you have some great taste. If you are ever in the area look me up man. We have a club that meets in the area and a couple guys actually frequent a shop in Kalamazoo I believe. Pretty freaking cool.
