New smoker here

[DaBears]

Hello all. My name is Brian from Crystal Lake, IL. I am a rookie smoker, with less than 3 months of smoking regularly. Currently I am smoking the Drew Estates line up. I am very impressed by their cigars. I joined this site so I can learn as much as possible about cigars and the cigar culture.

Thanks for joining.

Welcome. You've come to the right spot. If I may offer one piece of advice to a new smoker it would be to try and smoke as many different cigars as your wallet will allow. There is tons of knowledge in these threads.

Welcome to the forum, Brian. Check out the Newbie Sampler Thread (NST). This would be perfect for you.

@b_rock21 I agree it is an amazing hobby, but can be expensive as well I've come to find out. I might have to sell a kidney lol
