East-Central Illinois Newbie
Hey, folks!

My name is Darrel (no; I don't have another brother named Darrel) and I hail presently from Charleston, IL. I'm a prof at Eastern Illinois University and, since there's *nothing else* to do in Charleston, have recently taken up cigar smoking.

My favorite, right now, are probably Padron 2000 and 3000. I've only tried the nats, but a maddy is in the humi waiting for Saturday night. I've found that I'm generally pretty happy with medium-full flavor cigars with Nic & Hon fillers. I'm too new to take a firm stance on the nat vs. mad debate (if you want to call it that); but think I have a slight preference for maddies. Aside from the Padrons, then, I've been enjoying Hoyo, Punch, Partagas Black, and 5 Vegas.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop in, say "hi," and introduce myself.

~d.

Hey Darrel, Welcome to Club Stogie (CS). My fav. right now is Montecristo white. You may want to give one of those a try. What do you teach/research?

Re: East-Central Illinois Newbie
Welcome from tennessee. Just so you know you are on the top of a slippery slope especially coming in here with all of the diverse knowledge and helpful people. As far as smokes go, you seem to have a good grasp of what you like so get in on one of the PIF threads and get some sticks that you may not have had, you will be like the rest of us soon (not enough humi space). Anyway welcome to the jungle.

PS as a newbie myself it helped me to read a lot of the FAQ and search about anything that I did not understand before I posted a new thread. Ask away....

I've a tried Monte White (robusto) a little over a week ago. I liked it. Good body, smooth ... I smoked it to the nub. It paired OK with my sangria; but I would have liked it better with a good rum.

As for my teaching and research, I teach courses in rhetoric and public culture in the Dept. of Communication Studies. Currently, that means I'm teaching classes in argumentation and persuasion; but I'll soon be teaching other classes (communication of race & ethnicity, a course in publics and counterpublics, a course on social movements, etc.). My research right now focuses on a group of radical Puerto Ricans (yo soy Boricua) active from 1969-1972, called the Young Lords. They were kind of like the Puerto Rican Black Panthers ... but without guns The next project after this one (in a few years) will be on Puerto Ricans and the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Thanks for welcoming me!

You could do some serious damage with credentials like that...maybe even give some FOG's a run for their money. Welcome to CS from one newbie to another. Wait about a week and you will be searching for instructions on making a coolidor. Happy smoking

I've researched the coolidor ... not quite ready for it, though. I did get a 150 capacity humi after it became apparent that the 40 capacity I had been given was just not going to cut it Calibrating the hygrometer with the ol' salt test right now, in fact.

As for taking on some FOGs ... I think I'll pass

Welcome to Club Stogie, Darrel!

It should be interesting having a Prof. of Communication around.
