Hey everyone!

I signed up last month but was not very active other than lurking around so I figured it was time to do a proper intro.

My name is Ike and I’m a California native living in the SF Bay Area. I’ve only been enjoying cigars for probably the last year and a half or so. First “WOW” cigar was probably the AF Hemmingway Short Story and quickly turned into a Tatuaje whore. Now broadening my horizons a little bit and have absolutely loved the couple offerings from Crowned Heads I’ve been able to get a hold of (the Las Calaveras and Jericho Hills are flippin’ amazing!). I’m sure you all will be a terrible influence on me and my wallet…you actually already are as I’ve been ordering from Small Batch thanks to those bastards and their terrific service, free shipping, awesome prices and overall great attitude. What’s their deal anyways?!


Other than cigars I’m a huge sports nut and can’t be happier that I finally root for a successful team, the Warriors. Being a Raiders and A’s fan over the recent years has been heart breaking! Anyone else here a fan of Jason Ellis on Sirius/XM?

Looking forward to adding to the community
Thanks!

Welcome to the site and glad to see another Raider Nation member here! I'm from Socal so I've been a fan since the 80's when I use to be able to watch them play at the Coliseum here in LA. Use to listen to Sirius for a while and loved hearing Jason on the Bubba the love sponge show or on Howard Stern show. Haven't listened in a long time, got rid of my service when Howard started taking longer and more often vacations. I do miss the show though.

Nice, another Raiders fan! I have hopes we're finally, FINALLY turning it around for real. And also was bummed Howard's taking so much time off, that's the main reason I found Ellis to fill my immature humor needs.

I just picked up some of these to try out. They're resting in the humidor for a little while but I can't wait to fire it up!

Welcome from San Diego. Visited small batch's B&M this week and they seem like a top notch group of folks. I made a small deposit after getting lost in their humidor for awhile :D

Welcome from a raider fan behind enemy lines on the west side of Missouri. We are actually well represented here.
