Hello everyone!
My name is Josh Tonelli. (Instagram @Jtone_FB6)
I have been curious for some time to figure out what BOTL was. I follow a lot of guys on instagram and I always saw the hashtag #botl so I decided to do some research and it led me here. I'm pretty stoked about it. Here is some info on me:

I am 23 years old and reside in north Texas and have lived in the same area for all 23 yeras. I work for Honda as a Honda Tech after graduating from the Honda PACT program. Ive been doing that for about 4 years now. I am not married but hope to be before long. (Old lady has been with me for 4.5years)

What really got me interested in cigars was my uncle. I was 16 at the time and went to his house to help him clean and organize his garage in exchange for car audio from the company he worked for. He was laying on his hammock smoking a cigar and the aroma just blew my mind. What was it? Im sure you know. It was Acid Deep Dish. I always remembered that blue band and the gold lettering and when I finally came of age (18) I didnt know anything about cigars so I seriously went to places you cant find cigars (didnt know that then) and asking them if they had Acid. hahaha. True story. I finally found a shop that had cigars and I bought a Acid 1400cc. Thats where it all started. Over the next 2 years I smoked a cigar now and then and over the summer months the smoking would pick up. Once I turned 21 is when I really started to get into it. I started doing a lot more reading a research about cigars and trying different things and its really helped my knowledge out a lot. I still have a lot more to learn. I normally dont buy online. I have before but dont tend to. I like to support the B&Ms. I went to Fine Cigars in Allen, TX last saturday and I will probably be going to En Fuego in Frisco, TX this weekend. My local shop called "The Humidor" is a great shop. Been shopping there for years and thats usually where I buy all my sticks but where their selection drops off the others pick up. Anway that just some about me. I guess if you have some questions feel free to ask. And I apologize if my grammar or spelling is horrible. I am on my lunch break at work and I am trying to do this quickly.

Cigars I enjoy: Liga Privada t52, undecrown, herrera estelli, perdomo champange noir, acid 1400cc, gran habano azteca fuerte. There are plenty others but those are just to name a few.

Cheers,
Josh

Thanks everyone! Followed you guys back on instagram. My hands are pretty darn cold currently. I wish I could smoke inside sometimes.

Thanks guys! I am glad to be a part of BOTL. I cannot wait to expand my knowledge and chat with you guys. I am hoping to jump on the newbie trade soon after I stop by the shop this weekend and pick some more sticks up.
