I'm a fairly new Cigar smoker, with little more than a year under my belt thus far. I review craft beer as a hobby and had a few people asking for pairings with beers, which brought me to Cigars. I've really gotten into it recently, and was referred by a friend at my usual cigar shop, Riegel's Georgetown in Fort Wayne, IN.

I generally prefer "spicier" cigars, some of my favorites being Padrons, Jaime Garcias, and Toranos. My go-to smoke is the Padron 2000. It's the perfect size for the time I usually have to smoke, and the flavor is always spot on, coupled with perfect construction and consistency, it's a no-miss. I have yet to smoke a "flavored" cigar that I've enjoyed. I typically smoke exclusively at my local cigar shops (of which I have 4). My usual shops are the Riegel's Pipe and Tobacco and the Golden Leaf in Michigan City, IN. I haven't kept a humidor thus far, but rather only smoke what's on hand at the local shops, partly due to my living situation, and partly to encourage myself to try new Cigars and meet other smokers.

I'm a web designer by trade, I went to college in the Orlando area and got my Bachelor's of Computer Science from Full Sail University. I fish, hunt, and play video games. I'm also an avid tabletop wargamer. I watch professional e-Sports like most people watch football, specifically Starcraft 2.

If you'd like to know anything else, feel free to ask, I love to talk and always enjoy to go to a cigar shop and smoke, specifically so I can talk with other smokers and enjoy the camaraderie.

Welcome!!! I grew up in Indy and now live just a bit north of you in Jackson, MI area. Get ahold of Hoshneer, he's from your area. Hoping to make it down soon to share a smoke with him, maybe you can join when we set it up!

Dude! I would love if you made it down here sometime! Especially for a cigar club night. Woot!
