Hello all. Just wanted to give a big "How Yinz Guys Doin" from Pittsburgh. I've been smoking for a number of years now, but up until last month I was mostly bumming from my dad (he has a fantastic selection). This Christmas he set me up with my first humi and a couple boxes (presumably so I would stop mooching off of him). I'm a big fan of anything Drew Estate or Padron, but I'm not picky...I'll basically smoke anything that burns. As a relative rookie around these parts, I hope to learn a lot from this group and I look forward to joining in on the conversation.

-Ryan

Welcome! I just got a new job in Picksburgh and I start on Monday the 14th. I plan to become a regular at Bloom's; it's a great spot!!

We should get together for a smoke sometime.

Whoa...lots of Pittsburgh connections...that always seems to be the case...

bballbaby - Bloom's is a great spot, you're right. You let me know when and where and I'm there. I have nowhere to smoke where I live now unless I want to brave the elements so I'm always looking for somewhere to go to have a stick.

justbrew77 - To be honest, I don't necessarily have a favorite spot. I just go wherever someone will go with me. I live in the North Side, so I go to Executive Cigars every once in a while. The cigar selection is not the best (I'm being nice), but their smoking room is great...big comfy chairs, nice TV's and some of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. I like to hit Leaf & Bean in the Strip for a coffee and a smoke on the weekends. And Allegheny Smokeworks in Blawnox always has a great selection. As I said, my "normal" spot used to be my dad's back porch, but now that I've been kicked out of the nest, I'm up to go anywhere.

zama80 - I'm originally from Penn Hills, but I now live on the North Side. I was just in Orlando for work...stopped at Corona Cigar Co. between meetings...really a great spot, especially when you can sit outside in shorts in December. That's something a lifelong Pittsburgher can appreciate.

Welcome, I'm a newbie here to. Live in Raleigh, NC now but am Pittsburgh born and raised. Actually just moved away just over a year ago for work.

Hopefully we run into each other on the boards here!
