Hi guys, I'm Alex from Chicago. I'll be honest. I know next to nothing about cigars. I know there are different shapes like topedos and coronas and that's about it. I've had a cigar once every blue moon, but just never really got into it. After smoking a Cuban H Upmann with fellow brother @daverutherford61 last night though, I think the lightbulb went off for me. It was a smooth smoke the whole way through and it was a most enjoyable experience. I feel like I have a baseline for what I enjoy now, and I'll be looking forward to checking out the forums here for advice and recommendations in the future.

As far as my current stash, I kind of stumbled into a gift of a few cubans recently, so I figured I would take this hobby a little more seriously. I'm seasoning a humidor right now, but in the meantime I have a tupperware with a bovada pack for storage.

Lastly, besides cigars, I figure I'll tell a little more about myself. I'm a pretty big beer guy, not a snob though. I happen to be drinking a Zombie dust at the moment. I'm also huge nerd and I'm into RPGs whether they be PS4 or PC. I'm currently replaying FFIX and leaning towards it being just a hair above VII right now. And I'm also about the most die hard Cubs fan out there. I think this is going to be the year although I have been saying that going on 20 years running now. That's about it, hopefully I can add something to BOTL while I'm here.

Welcome to the board Alex; happy to see the lightbulb went off for you!

There's a lot of us in Chicagoland on the board here and many of us meet regularly. Speaking of the Cubs try talking to @fourkicksfan he's a pretty big fan himself.

Lastly it's nice to see another RPG'er here. Enjoy your stay! Also I voted for Star Trek, but truth be told Sci-Fi does very little for me; I'm a fantasy guy.

Welcome from Orlando!

A recent transfer from Chicago. Unfortunately, I'm a south sided and resent your cubbies. But, I will not lie, if they won it all I would be at that parade. To be honest though I'm more of a Hawks guy so if we have a happy medium it would probably be there. And I too love me some RPGs. Happy to see you've joined the party!

Welcome from Colorado! You'll love this place.

I was born and raised on the North side. Spent the first 23 years of my life there.

I too grew up with the Cubs and Hawks on TV all the time! Only hawks away games for a big portion of my childhood, damn Krause!
