Hello, brothers of the leaf! My name is Tom; I'm a complete and total neophyte, just testing the waters. A cigar-smoking friend gave me five or six mild cigars to start with, and I've smoked two (2) so far--an Ashton (not sure what the size was) and an Avo Domaine robusto.
I doubt I'll become a daily cigar smoker, for reasons of domestic harmony and a paucity of outdoor options. I live in an apartment in Paris, so when the weather is nice I can go for a stroll to a park, and apparently there are a couple of establishments where one can go for a smoke, but in general I'm thinking one or two cigars on the weekend sounds like the maximum future scenario.
Right now I'm doing some web research and checking out the different sites and forums from which to glean information on this enjoyable pastime. This one is certainly different! The amount of bewildering jargon is remarkable. :wink: For example, what is a pass? What is a bomb? What are the secret coded numbers? Any clues will be welcome.
