Hey folks,

Just recently joined BOTL after looking for advice on setting up my first wineador. I've got a Vinotemp 28 that I picked up off Craigslist and I should be good to go when my delivery arrives late this week!

I'm a Texan that has been living in Columbus, Ohio for the past year and a half or so, after being relocated here for work from Austin. I have moved some for work and haven't really settled down yet. I've been smoking just shy of 10 years and have just started getting into "the dark side." I've gone through different phases but since I've lacked a stable smoking place at home I've mostly smoked singles at my local B&M, wherever that has been. I also went through a year or two long pipe phase. Now, I'm starting to buy boxes and get interested in aging cigars thus the wineador and the box orders that I'm crossing my fingers on right now. Where I live right now, I have a nice backyard so I smoke every day mostly.

Outside of cigar smoking, I'm in sales for the software industry. I have a dog, a corgi who hates the smell of cigar smoke although my girlfriend doesn't mind it. I'm an avid swing dancer, dancing all the jazz vernacular dances such as Charleston, Breakaway, Shag, and especially Lindy Hop. I also participate in some men's clothing forums and that is a long time passion of mine as well.

Looking forward to participating in this community!

Hi Javaman.

I'm in German Village, a stone's throw from Burning Leaf. I've mostly been going to Montecristo Lounge in the Short North though since it is open late and a chill place to relax. I did hit up Tinder Box in Easton last night as A) girlfriend wanted to go to Jo-Ann's Fabric B) I had never tried the Undercrown and Tinderbox had it.

Lately, since I've been buying more online and more CCs, it's been my back porch. As soon as I do the dishes here I will be lighting up, probably. How about you?

Cool. Been in Montecristo many times. I'm up near Westerville, so my local is Governor's Smoke Shop. I also go to House of Cigar on Huntley Rd. & Wilson Bridge every now & then (great selection, but over priced). I'm with you on the buying online & smoking at home as that's what I prefer as well. Don't be a stranger. :)

Welcome to BOTL.

For what it's worth, I've made it to the Columbus area a few times this year and like Governor's. A fun place.
