Just wanted to post a quick "Hello" to everyone and introduce myself. I've been lurking on here for quite a long time - I am a long time "occasional" smoker (that actually smoked VERY frequently) who began getting a lot more serious about this hobby in the last 6 months or so.

My palate has really begun to develop in the last year or so, and I have learned that I absolutely love the complexities of a good maduro. Since then I have gone from being a "budget conscious" smoker (read: cheap :wink: ) to getting into some of the better offerings.

I decided I should go ahead and register and begin participating in this great community, as I have learned SO much here just lurking.

Some of my current favorites are from Oliva, Padron, and CAO, but I just recently had my first Liga Privada No. 9 (which was also my very first LP), and I think I may have found a new favorite. I can already see many more Liga Privadas in my future...

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone, and look forward to participating.

Welcome, Gordon! Glad you're here. I spent three years in grad school in Atlanta. Man, do I miss it. By it, I mean all the great food and cigar shops. I live in the land of Applebee's is fine dining now and the nearest decent b&m is 45 minutes away. This is a great place, enjoy it.

Welcome, Gordon! I live in South Mississippi, but I actually arrived in Atlanta today on business. I'll be here the rest of today and tomorrow. Do you know of any good B&Ms around here that I could visit? If you're available for a cigar this evening I'm available.

Hey Brian! I wish I would have been available - crazy busy at the moment, but would have loved to take a break for a smoke!

What part of town are you staying in? I live in Buckhead - there's a lot of cigar friendly places around here, and some decent B&Ms. Let me know what part of town you're in and I can make some recommendations. Are you leaving out on tomorrow? My day tomorrow is going to be pretty crazy until about 7pm or so.

Hi Gordon,

Glad you made it!

Atlanta is not too far from me, I work in savannah ga but live on Hilton head island sc. I get up to Atlanta every now and then for business and as was already mentioned there are quite a few brothers on botl from your neck of the woods.

Don't work too hard and see you around.

James
