Hey all,
I'm Mario and honelty thrilled to be apart of BOTL. Ive been smoking cigars for 5 years now, but only recently have I started to really dig into the true art of "the smoke." My brother got me into cigars after I graduated college with (funny now I think about it) an Al Capone blue label. I kept it for almost 4 years before I found it dried up and I'm not ashamed to say I smoked it! Hahaha, ever since then I was on a kick to keep smoking, 4 years later I'm working on solid collection of Dominicans, Maduro's and anything else I can get my hands on. The best part of cigar to me is its ability to instantly break down barriers with strangers and make new friends. So...that's my goal here, meet some real solid friends from around the U.S. and abroad and just talk smoke. I recently bought a winedor and am stock piling some nice sticks and I'm hoping to leverge you all for some solid advice on more full bodied gems out there. I come from an italian family with soliid roots to the old country, so we know our food forsure, and I'm hoping to expand my palate to quality cigars pairings.
Pleasure to meet you all and I look forward to writing some reviews on my latest Partegas Cubans I just got in!
