Hello everyone .
Good morning , good evening or afternoon .
Here in North Charleston it is wonderful clear night filled with stars. I'm joining you from my balcony. Currently attempting to enjoy an Ashton symmetry cigar . Not only is there a loud party going on but before I began to light this seemingly fine smoke it seems a a cold is setting in. My nose started runing and my taste is shot. An unfortunate turn of events considering this is my first Ashton . But enough rambling .
I was smoking cigs until last year when I decided I needed to stop. I found I didn't enjoy the taste anymore or the smell. Then I started trying a cigar here and there. I enjoy the taste and smell but still in search of what I will one day call my favorite stoggie. Doing so isn't easy for me however, due to my tobacco budget. They sure aren't too cheap.
This lead me to YouTube where I watched countless videos of master rollers, rolling fine sticks. After some research I found whole leaf tobacco and this forum. I've been in the shadows for a little while trying to learn everything I can. I have learned a great deal for all of you here and thank you all. This is a great forum and learning tool. I am hoping to order my first whole leaf tobacco in the next month and then the real journey will begin.
Sorry for the long read and thank you for your time
