bjm Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Hi All, Well I've been a casual cigar smoker for about 10 years, mostly non-Cubans. In 2001, a friend gave me a gift of two 5-packs of Cohiba Siglo V's. To me, they are a great cigar and I have been reserving them for special occasions. Each time a smoke one of these Cubans, I wish these rest of my humidor was filled with them! After enjoying another one of these a few weeks ago, I decided that I needed to expand my definition of "special occasions". So, without much research, I ordered a cabinet of Cohiba Siglo IV's from an online vendor. Well, as you might guess, I received fake Cohibas. Awesome packaging, but no triple caps and some green filler. Anyhow, this forum helped educate me on suspect Cuban cigars and I really appreciate the shared info. So I'm here to learn more about true habanos and to share my experiences. Cheers, Brent

bassman Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Howdy Brent! Where you at? We were out in Silverton & Ouray this summer.
Moglman Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Welcome to FOH Brent. You can expect to find a bunch of us Front Range locals at Havana Manor S (Louisville) next weekend on the evening of the 25th for some good cigars, laughter and UFC.
bjm Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 » Howdy Brent! Where you at? We were out in Silverton & Ouray this summer. Howdy bassman! You were sure in a beautiful spot this summer! I'm located in Monument...just north of Colorado Springs. You know, in the 16 years I've been in Colorado, I've never been to the southwestern part of the state. :crying: I think I need to take more vacations.

SW CO is beautiful. We go out every few years. Also went up Pike's Peak this time. Never been there before. Hot as heck in Manitu, but sleeting at the summit.
SamuraiJack Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Welcome! Sorry you got burnt, but I'm glad it didn't turn you off of CC's for good.
