Hello from South Jersey...
Just want to pop in and introduce myself.. The name's Erik and I currently reside about 15 minutes over the river from Philadelphia.

I'm currently in my mid-twenties and got into this hobby about a year ago, on a whim. Just this past week, I splurged and bought my first humidor -- I got tired of buying a couple sticks at a time from my local B&M and having to smoke them relatively quickly. I also got tired of kidding myself into believing that I was to remain a "casual smoker".

I'm looking forward to getting involved, learning the ropes, and experimenting with some great smokes as recommended by the resident silverbacks.

Well, up until this point I've considered myself a "once in a while" smoker, and therefore have stuck to the ~$10-a-stick smokes. I could justify the cost because I didn't smoke frequent enough to feel like I was burning money, nor do I have the palate to feel like I could go for something more expensive.

In my limited experience, I've come to find the Graycliff Crystal is my favorite. Others that I've tried include the Cohiba Black, Cohiba Crystal Corona, and Graycliff Original.

I also enjoyed the Ashton Cabinet, but I think I'm starting to outgrow it. It doesn't really challenge me anymore, and I'm very much looking forward to trying the VSG.

Another main reason that I've come here is to find a nice, cost-effective go to smoke. I can see this hobby starting to pick up steam, and I certainly can't afford to smoke the sticks I have been smoking all of the time.

I was the same. Once you stop kidding yourself it becomes so much more fun. Welcome to the jungle!
