Hey guys.
I have been smoking for around 2 years now, something that started while working in Canada. I had a close friend travel to Cuba on vacation, return with a love for the leaf and completely turned me into an aficionado. Luckily he ran into a friend while there who showed him the ropes and he brought back some nice stuff. I can't help but research any hobby of mine and now I know too much about something I don't spend nearly enough time doing.
I have been smoking NC mostly, being in the states, and only recently was exposed to some fantastic CC smokes. I think my history with the NC smokes has allowed me to understand the nuances and particularities of the Cuban tobacco more. I hope to learn a lot more from these forums, just as I have on another great board. I find that the friendships made are probably one of the best parts of this hobby and look forward to more.
