Newbie from New Jersey

[Mgallo13]

Hey guys my name is Matt, I'm 23 and I have been smoking cigars for probably 2-4 years. Cant really remember when I started but who cares? :smokingbo

Anyway, I'm from central Jersey, play adult league ice hockey, have been skiing my whole life, and after my summer classes I'll have graduated Rider University with an accounting degree. I went to Rutgers for 3 years as an engineer and then transferred to Rider. Rutgers was 100 times more fun and I miss it like no other hahaha grad school maybe?

Just wanted to introduce myself. Huge fan of Padron's and both my local shops constantly have them stocked which is awesome. Really still trying new smokes, but I just invested in a 100 count humidor to compliment my small 10-15 count. Looking to snag some boxes this summer, might be interested in trading but I'm not sure how it all works. I'm sure I'll be directed to some thread somewhere on here hahaha. Also a huge car guy with a particular soft spot for Ford Mustangs, but in general if it goes fast I probably like it.

Lookin forward to hearing from you guys.

@upinsmoke- Nah, I only started playing when I was a senior in HS myself. I had always skated because my best friend has played since he was little, but I've played sports my whole life (baseball, football) so I picked it up quick. I made varsity solely because I knew how to skate backwards and I'm 6'3'' hahaha. THe feeder program in my town shut down when I was probably 15 so our team lost a lot of its incoming players which gave me the opportunity to play. Only had 1 year of good coaching tho. Kind of putting it all together now. Love the game, definitely have more of a passion for it than baseball. Loved playing but I cant watch it on TV hahaha. Good luck tho man my good friends cousin that also lives in my town is playing junior now.

@mercop- been to the bethlehem PA CI warehouse store yet?

Hey Matt!

:welcome: from Minnesota :waving:

This is a great place to get connected with some Great cigar smoking brothers. As far as buying and trading, once you've been on the board for 30 days and have a few posts under your belt you will be able to see that section of the forum. It's a great way to get some good deals and to expand your palate with some new items. Look forward to having you around!
