Hi guys, been lurking awhile, figured I'd post an intro. I see there are a number of other Maryland residents on this site, I live just outside Aberdeen in Harford County.

I'm not a serious smoker and don't really intend to be, but I'm very curious and interested in learning everything I can. I recently bought a sampler of 8 cigars, and that should last a few months between me and my wife (yes, she likes a smoke once in awhile too, especially after a few drinks).

I also love to cook and grill, I make my own wine, I grow heirloom tomatoes and I collect rum. I once tried every type of apple (2 at a time so I could compare) at the local grocery store until I found my favorite. Can you tell I like to eat and drink? I like that you've got forums to represent food, drink, and everything else on this site. Hopefully I can contribute something worthwhile to those while I'm busy learning and reading the cigar forums.
