Hi there BOTL and SOTL, I have been smoking cigars for almost 40 years. I am a retired TV director, I was also a Chef and I did a 8 year
stint as a Tobacconist at our local Tinder Box, where I learned a LOT about cigars and tobacco.
I am now retired (disabled), due to Spinal Stenosis, but I manage to get around okay. We live in Hannibal, NY, which is just 12 miles SW of Oswego, NY. I am literally 10 minutes from Lake Ontario!
I do not smoke in the house because we have 3 dogs and the smoke is definitely not good for them. I have a huge 12x18 shed outback that I use to herf my sticks when it isn't too damn cold out. I prefer fat, full bodied cigars, but I try to watch out for those nicotine bombs. Some of my favorites are anything by Torano, including CAO Brasilias. I really like dark, oily wrappers and love smoking my cigars down to the nub. I also smoke pipes, I prefer Full bodied English blends but I will occasionally smoke an aromatic.
Oh, I am 63 years old, happily married to Maggie, the love of my life and between us we have 4 grown kids. I have a son and a daughter, Maggie has 2 sons.
So, I hope you are all having a great year so far!!!
