Hi, ladies & gents. New to the BOTL forum, and an occasional cigar smoker. Due to finances, time and the need for a new passion I have come over to the Dark Side. I have said before that I have the palate of a toddler, as I don't have much experience in better cigars and what I like about them, but I'm pretty OCD when it comes to getting involved in learning. This passion is, to me, as much about life style and clearing my head as it is about a hobby. I'm of age, I can afford it, and I am damn well worth it. Hope to meet many of you as time goes on. Thanks for having me--you should raise your standards....
