Back In The Saddle

[The Banker]

Hello All! Checking in from the SW VA/NE TN area. I started smoking cigars when I turned 18 and enjoyed them for about a year before I realized my wallet didn't match my taste. I smoked cigarettes for the next 15 years before i quit this past December. The no nicotine wasnt a problem but I missed sitting on my deck having something to do while I watched the world go by. I decided to get back in the cigar game to solve that problem and I haven't looked back.

At this point I can afford what i enjoy and have really been into the Montecristo Classic and White since I started back. I enjoy the more mellow smokes but I also enjoy a good oily nub. I typically enjoy a stick Friday night's and Sunday afternoon.

I randomly discovered this podcast on Stitcher about 2 weeks ago and I have been hooked since. Ive been consuming about 3 episodes a day and have learned a lot. I'm happy to be a member of the community and look forward to the journey ahead.

Welcome to our little neck of the woods. We're not the busiest forum, but we have fun none the less.

The whole premise of the show is that Craig and I do it out of our own pocket because we like it...which is great for having the freedom to say any cigar we smoke is utter garbage because we're not beholden to any sponsors, etc. However, it also means we tend to pretty easily let ourselves screw around with scheduling and miss a show sometimes....it's kinda our schtick. We have been known to half-ass a thing or two. But, it's all in the Half Ashed name so everyone knows going in
