New kid checking in
howD everyone,

My name is Dudley Kelso and I decided to do the right thing, which I rarely do, and check in. I'm a know nothing new guy from sunny Camp Lejeune, NC and won't be posting that often, mostly just reading and learning. I've got a few questions that I'll address in the right areas, but after that, I'll just be ghosting the place.

My background is pretty straight forward, I'm a 23 yr old Marine Corps infantryman with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq (where I got to enjoy a few 'illegals', though poorly kept they were). I started smoking cigars with my friends when I was 18. Me and my friends would grab a Macanudo from the local smoke shop and burn it on a Sunday evening.

I never tried learning anything about various cigars, etc, I just walked into the walk-in, picked up a single that looked promising and took it home. I either liked it or I didn't. Then I bought a desktop humidor and stocked it, and right about that time I left for the Marine Corps. Wasted ~27 cigars!

I decided to pick my humidor back up after my last post-deployment leave block and am getting it all set back up and re-seasoned and then I'll have to find a good site to place a few orders on a bundle (I'm sure someone in here is going to recommend me a place... or two! -- and I'd appreciate it.. otherwise I'm ordering from Thompson).

While in Iraq, my sister signed me up for Cigars for the Troops, which is a pretty nifty little thing done by Clay Carlton out West, where he sends troops a box of cigars. I did a search for him on the forum, but couldn't find him, so I guess he isn't a member, but he basically "bombed" me overseas and I wanted to thank him. Although, I don't know if it was a true bombing, since my sis put me on his mailing list. Either way, great thing to have done.

Anyways, I guess that's about as much background as I can give without handing over my birth certificate. By the way you can find that at...

Take care, *waves to everyone*

DK

Re: New kid checking in
Welcome Dudley and I too want to thank you for your service to all of us here in America. Great post too.

I think your method of buying singles locally is pretty good and you are in a good part of the country for stogies.

J.R. is good for online buys, watch for special deals.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone and especially to you veterans!

Welcome to the jungle! Stick around here long enough and you will be out of your sick period and into an even sicker period.
