Popular Post Ford2112 Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 So I joined this community a little under 2 months ago and I must say it's been a lot of fun! I have already connected with a some good people on here who have been very forthcoming with generosity and feedback. I have been a cigar smoker off and on for a long time,my first CC being a Montecristo back in the mid 90s. It was like nothing I had ever tasted and over the years I have enjoyed smoking whatever habanos I could get my hands on when traveling out of the country. I want to say around 4 months ago I decided to get into smoking cigars more and maybe even starting a collection. I went into my local B&M and picked up a few cigars I had been reading about,a Padron,an Oliva ,and a few others. After that I ordered from an online vender a few NCs. At this point I started researching whether I could obtain CCs. I stumbled upon FOH and joined and within weeks I I had a couple 24:24 orders under my belt and I knew I was in deep already ! 😄 Fast forward and I am filling up a wineador faster than I thought I would. I decided it would be best to get a variety of vitolas and marques to see what my palate fancied. I think I have done a good job so far in getting some various size and flavor profiles ,thanks to the wealth of information here and the option of buying 1/4 boxes. My inventory so far: 1 Christmas Sampler 1/4 Box PSP2 HQ TLE MAY 21 1/4 Box RyJ Petit Royals PSP RAT OCT 20 1/4 Box HU Mag 54 PSP GEM JUN 21 1/4 Box Coh Secretos CL GEL JUL 21 1.4 Box Coh Siglo 1 CL TUE MAR 21` 1/4 Box PSD4 HQ EGT May 21 1/4 Box Monte Edmundo PSP TPO JUL 19 1/4 Box HDM Petit Robusto HQ BST/MGL JUN 21 1/4 Box RyJ Exhibicion 4 PSP OER JUN 21 1/4 Box RASCC CL SOU JUN 21 1/4 Box Monte 4 PSP MLS JUL 21 1/4 Box SC La Fuerza PSP RAT MAR 21 1/4 Box JL 2 HQ BST JUN 21 1/4 Box BBF CL PTG JUL 21 1/4 Box HDM Epicure 2 PSP BER 21 1/4 Box HU Conni 2 PSP AMP ABR 21 1/4 Box HU Conni A CL GEM JUN 21 1/4 Box HU Conni 1 CL GEM AGO 21 1/4 Box JL 1 CL MTS JUN 21 2 Cigar Sampler Bolivar Libertador TUA AGO 21 2 Cigar Sampler HDM Rio Seco SOL AGO 21 3 pk Cohiba Robusto CL MAR JUL 21 Box (10) Monte 2 CL TAO JUN 21 Box (25) Fonseca 1 CL OEP NOV 14 Box (10) HU Royal Robusto CL GEM JUL 21 Box (25) RASS PSP TUA AGO 21 Box (25) Monte 5 PSP GUM ABR 19 Box (25) HUHC PSP AMP ABR 21 Box (10) Quai D'Orsay 50 CL TUA ABR 21 Box (10) Punch Short De Punch CL TUE JUL 21 Me: " I will buy a few samplers and see how this goes" Also Me: "Well ...that escalated quickly! What have I gotten myself into?" So thank you FOH for what is turning out to be loads of fun! Thank you to Di for your patience.And thanks to 24:24 for my hopeless foray deep into the rabbit hole!

Juliano88 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I’ve added 37 boxes in one year lol. I smoked nc’s for most of my cigar smoking life but then realized I can get a hold of Cuban cigars. I still have a large collection of non Cubans and there are a few non Cuban brands I still enjoy, but you can’t replicate the fragrance and elegance of Cuban tobacco. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have a small handful of Illusione Epernays,Oliva Melanios and Hemingway short stories. But I am moving away from the NCs mostly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyneversleeps Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Illusione epernay are pretty dang good especially for NC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford2112 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 I have coolers galore. For my longer term storage! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Back in 2019, I started down the rabbit hole in exactly the same way. I was suspicious of this unknown (to me) online vendor, so I took the chance on the 2019 Christmas sampler. The rest, as they say... BTW, while some may not agree, the PSP/HQ grades are consistently a better quality smoke. The clearance cigars are perfectly great, but the PSP are worth a few more coins, IMHO. Cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSP/HQ just give a higher end wrapper. When I stumbled into FoH a short couple of years ago, I figured I'd be one of the few that actually knew what the hell I was talking about. Perspicacity incarnate. I have since been taken to my pre-school class, but have graduated to the 1st grade! I just learned how to use the swingset on the playground...😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
