Soo, I don't really know how I'm supposed to do this but I'll give it a try. My name is austin, and I guess I'll start with how I got introduced. I have always seen people (men) smoking cigars and pipes. It has always been such a fascination, I love to sit and watch someone pack their pipe or cut their cigars and light up. It's always been so graceful. The smoke lightly billowing out of their mouths. It seemed so unreachable. But I just recently turned 18, not to mention I've smoked way before turning 18, but now it has become an obsession. I love the smell of walking I to a humidor, and all of the different tobacco smells. So now I have smoked nonstop, almost everyday, which I hope is not bad. Is it? My favorite brands at the moment are fuente fuente opus x, Olivia, and rocky Patel. For being so young my tastes are particularly seasoned. I like very heavy cigars, a tobacconist that I talked to said I might have damaged my palet starting with a dark maduro cohiba (dominican) haha but it is what it is. So I guess that's it for now. Thanks!

So this is open for everyone. The other day i sitting in the lounge smoking with two of my good friends, and I noticed 3 older gentlemen sitting across the way smoking their cigars, and enjoying a (very expensive) bottle of scotch. I would have liked nothing more then to join those gentlemen just to talk to them. Not drink or anything, but it seems every time I go into a lounge there is always this wall. Almost like my age shouldn't be there. I'd love to pick their brain about cigars, life, etc. but I feel that there is a wall....is it truly this way or am I just imagining it?

This site has taught me that most cigar smokers are pretty awesome people. Obviously not everyone will be open to chatting with a youngin' ( I'm only 27 so not that much older than you ) so next time you are in this situation just walk over and ask them if they mind talking with you. The worst they can say is no and that really isn't that bad :)

Welcome to the site. Do you have a home shop in the Nashville/Franklin area yet? I'll be in Nashville quite a bit pretty soon. Would be happy to meet up at a shop and smoke. Lemme know. Keep smokin'. - Wes, Crowned Heads

Welcome from Jersey!! I started smoking before my 18 Bday also. The one thing you will find is that your tastes will mature and change, at least my did and still do. Listen to brothers on this site and you will expand your horizons and try new smokes!
