Hello from St. Louis

[brianetz1]

I'm new to this site but not cigars, welcome. This summer has been great, especially given last year's sucky 100+ for 21 straight days weather. And, yes, just pull the trigger on larger storage; it's the most cost-effective means of storage. I just bought a vinotemp 28 last week. My 100 ct and 165 ct just weren't cutting it. Check out the Hill Cigar Co and Jon's Pipe Shop in Clayton. Great staff, good selection and good prices. There's a new place in Soulard (Gran Cru) too, haven't been there yet. Enjoy.

I'm good with the 200ct right now. I work in education so i am not a wealthy man......after my wife almost cutting my balls off after hitting cbid i imagine that the 200ct will be good for a while.

yeah, i have like the Hill more than any other that i have gone to, but i am relatively young and feel out of place in there. I'm holding hope that the soulard is a little younger of a crowd.

thanks for the welcome and welcome to you!

I love the Hill. I haven't been in a couple of years since I moved away (went to MICDS and took some classes at UMSL during summers), but if J is still there, he's one hell of a guy. I was always put off by JR's because I felt profiled by my age. Welcome to the board

the owner is great people. He made me feel right at home and has been great every time i have been in there.

Once i leave the walkin and the front is where it all falls apart. The few times i have been in there and was thinking about smoking one there has always been an older crowd and when i moved to the back and it was less than inviting. A lot of strange looks and not a whole lot of welcoming going on. I didn't end up lighting one up and just decided to leave.
