Hi guys,

Finally got my registration completed after giving up on it many moons ago. Couldn't get a confirmation email, even on resends, and eventually gave up. When it occurred to me to email for help Eric took care of it right way, as well as explaining that it was my email provider blocking the emails not BOTL's fault (Thank you Eric!). Doh! Don't know why it took me so long.

Anyway, I'm an avid cigar enthusiast. Been smoking for over 30 years... longer if you count the little dry-cured cigarillos I started on back in the late 70's. I have a pretty good stock of aged and aging cigars on-hand. I do not consider myself a collector, just a cigar smoker with a several year supply! LOL

Currently running two coolerdors for long-term box storage (including a 150 qt Coleman), 5 tupperdors with cedar trays, and a recently acquired Whynter wineador just because it so cool (pun intended). I also have several wooden desktops from way-back-when, but don't really use them much given the ease of maintenance of other solutions these days. I use Bovedas in the tuppers and HF beads in the coolers and wineador (augmented with KL as needed). Seems like that should be enough space, right? But I can see I'm going to run out of room again soon if I don't stop buying!

My favorite NC's are most everything from Warped, Herrera Esteli, Illussione, Tatuaje, Casa Fernandez, Padron, Padilla, Leaf, and more I can't think of off the top of my head. Also very much enjoy the darkside having had the opportunity to first sample them back in 1985, and revisiting them on fairly regular business trips overseas ever since.

Long intro, I know. But, just very happy to finally be able to post here.

Hey neighbor. Welcome from Calhoun. I'll be down your way this weekend for the GA game. I was thinking about stopping by Cutters on Sunday.

Cutter's is a great B&M. Extremely friendly staff, good selection, and very comfortable lounge. I also like that they have and covered outdoor smoking area that's a very pleasant place to hang out. And perhaps best of all, you can get a cold beer or a fine glass of whisky at the counter. Not a full bar and definitely not a bar atmosphere, but great that you can get an appropriate pairing to enjoy with your cigar. Free coffee too!

I figured a cigar and a cold beer would help my hangover. :D

I feel ya'. Poker night for me last night! Running on limited attention span today. But that's my once or twice a month splurge. Saturday nights are usually dedicated to spending time with my wife... TV, movie, maybe one or two drinks with dinner if we go out. But that's about it. The Buckhead pub scene in the 80's was our stomping ground when we first met, and we did tear up the town back then. But, 25+ years of marriage and raising two kids has settled some of the weekend wildness out of us. I used to say I could still do anything I could do at 18 except recover the next day. Now I'm not so sure about the doing either.

Football season is my extent of "partying". My brother and I have season tickets so we usually go to at least four of the home games. I've got two young boys so I seldom get to actually visit a B&M. I figured I could sneak a stop by cutters on the way home. :sneaky:
