Hello

[USMC0621]

Hello BOTL's. I am new to the forum but not cigars. Well not really new at least. I have been smoking on and off for about a year. A little about myself. I have been in the Marine Corps for 10 years and am stationed in Southern California. Married with two kids. 6 and 2. Looking forward to getting to know you guys and learn more about cigars.

I am originally from Washington. GO HAWKS!! My favorite sticks are anything Drew Estate non infused especially the #9 and norteno. I like medium to full bodied. Tat, opus, crowned heads, my father, any aj blend, pretty much anything that's good. Haha

 

[Snookajab]

Thanks for your service brother! I need to try the Norteno.

 

[USMC0621]

@Snookajab. They are very good. I like that they come in smaller sizes and are box pressed. And the price point is pretty good. Even in Cali where the taxes are insane. Worse if you don't pay in cash.
