Hello Brothers! My name is Dan and I am from Albany, NY.

I've been smoking cigars for most of my adult life- so well over 10 years. I took a break for a few years (honestly I don't even know why) but about a year ago I started smoking cigars again. I've really enjoyed going to the local cigar shop, buying a few different sticks and just trying new things. Here are some of my recent favorites:

Chateau Real
Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul
La Flor Dominicana Cabinet Oscuro Natural
My Uzi Weighs a Ton
Padron Anniversary
Ashton VSG
Fuente Opus X

I also was lucky enough to score a Tatuaje Mummy which was excellent, and I'm looking forward to trying the Old Man and the C coffin I also recently bought.

Other than cigars, another hobby of mine is wet shaving (I have a few vintage double edge razors and bay rum obsession) and am a member of the Shave Nook forum (which has been such a pleasant experience, it made me seek out and join this forum board).

Otherwise, I am a father, husband, teacher, drummer. I look forward to learning lots from the BOTL.

Hello -

Albany, where to start.

Went to Loundonville Elementary and Shaker Junior High. Lived at 343 loudonville rd, moved, ended up at 14 east ridge(behind siena college). First job out of school was with BBL Construction svs in guilderland. My best friend is part owner/chef at Athos on western ave. I could could go on. if these locals are familiar to you send me a PM and we can chat further.

glad you made it to BOTL. enjoy your stay and I look forward to seeing you around.

James

Thanks for welcoming me! I look forward to exploring this forum, participating in the discussions and learning lots.

James- I can't pm you until I get at least 10 posts under my belt. But I wanted to tell you that all those spots you mentioned in the 518 are familiar to me. I actually live in Amsterdam, NY; work in Schenectady; and spend lots of time in Albany and Saratoga. Big fan of the 518. Glad to meet a fellow 518 brother!
