jiggler Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey. I'm Craig from Charlotte, NC USA. Four years into cigars and just starting the slippery slide down the dark side slope. Currently recovering from making just about every wrong turn other, sager BOTL's told me I'd make early on: First cigar was a Kuba Kuba...check Smoked every acid made...check Wasted too much money on the devil's site...check Liga fan boy...check SNS...check Burnt my palette on Nicaraguans...check (I must interject here that I still have a soft spot for the T52 robusto. Love that stick) The worst thing I ever did...I actually tried to infuse ghurka ninja's with Jagermeister. Yes you read that correctly. Think of the universe rending consequences that could have ensued if I succeeded. Safe to say you all probably owe your continued existence to my failure. At any rate the good news is that about a year ago kind BOTL from PA, sent me a bomb containing some well aged and cared for cc's and literally blew my mind. Which brings me back to FOH. The best thing about this hobby for me has been the people. I've been fortunate to be a part of some great forums and some not so great ones and while I don't know much, I have learned what a fun, healthy, dare I say mature community looks like and I think you have that here and I am looking forward to being a part of it. Thanks for letting me in. (For those of you who just can't get past the whole infusing ninja's thing, I totally understand. I can't get past it and I was there. You have my full permission to use it as a cautionary tale. If we can save at least one BOTL/SOTL from making the same mistake we will have succeeded). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
