Elder Jungle Leader
This has been talked about in different threads, but there are so many new Gorillas that have joined CS over the last few months that I would be interested in knowing their story. :ss
Additionally, I'm sure the newer apes would enjoy the stories from a lot of the FOGs in the jungle. :tu
For me, a fellow BOTL here in the jungle (BudPrince) introduced me to premium cigars back in '95 / '96 during the boom years. Didn't quite get the bug, but began to have an appreciation for the handrolled, all tobacco, cigars.
Then during the Summer of 2006, my wife came back from a trip to Honduras. On a whim, she picked me up a box of six locally made Honduran Heritage churchills. Loved them! I found CS while searching for info on how to take care of the remaining cigars... and fell headlong down the slope!
A huge coolerdor and hundreds of cigars later - plus lighters, cutters, ashtrays, boveda packs, humidors, cigar bags, jugs of distilled water, cigar magazines, et al - and I am DEEP into this wonderful hobby.
What about you guys? How did you get started? :ss
