matyoka Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Howdy, Recently retired and relocated to Mesa, AZ. Been a long time cigar aficionado but somehow FOH never crossed my path. So, here I am saying hello to all of you great BOTL and looking forward to making excellent friends. Lev
1LegLance Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 We are building a very nice Arizona presence here....I live in Central Phoenix and there are a bunch of other Valley of the Sun folks around. Welcome!
matyoka Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Good to be here, such warm welcome makes me light up a stick!!!
matyoka Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Good to see so many Arizonans!!! When not involved in household chores I visit the Fox Cigar Bar in Chandler. Maybe we could get together sometime and enjoy a couple of sticks...
matyoka Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 hey Schlomo. I am recognizing more and more members from the other forum
Lotusguy Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 hey Schlomo. I am recognizing more and more members from the other forum I'd say given what goes on in that forum, that's not really a good thing.
stogieluver Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Welcome! I love your beautiful state. You'll like it here. And congrats on the retirement. One warning: whatever you set aside for retirement PRE-FOH discovery, won't be enough POST FOH discovery.
jdo2110 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Welcome brother. I'm over on the FAR west side near Buckeye. Everyone is very generous and helpful, and u don't find some of the nonsense of the other forum. The word of warning is right though... Hope u have a few extra bucks laying around, cause this place seems like the ultimate resource!
matyoka Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 You are the fifth AZ member that stopped by to say hello. I really appreciate it guys!!! I just got me 5 O'reilly sticks and sent payment for a box of PSD4 and MOnte #2 which never showed up... so I am done shopping for a while. The refund from the guy has been "lost" in the mail but I will give him until Monday. The deal happened on ICC.
1LegLance Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 That's crazy and sucks major... I know when I box split with people I order the stuff and nobody pony's up money till the sticks arrive and get inspected. That way I can work out any issues with the vendor on my own and not have the pressure of other people's money hanging over me. Also keeps the trust level up. A great vendor like this place will always take care of the customer if things are legit and in 15+ yrs of Habanos enjoyment I have never had an unresolved issue. Happy to meet up for a smoke sometime especially with this heat making us all want to stay indoors.
matyoka Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 Lance, It's unfortunate it happened this way. I had several transactions on ICC in the past with great results. Not sure what's going on with the site... barely breaths. In any event, I am now in a good place and will work on building great relationships and trust. Lev
