So little bit about me. As you can all see do live in Chicago & originally hail from Croatia. Been smoking for the last 10 years, with some forced pauses (medical) in between. Besides enjoying Cigars I am known to like a nice bottle of vine, occasional beer & when allowed a nice spirit. My other interests (you could call it passion) include collecting Military/Vintage watches, Travel/driving, good music, enjoying nice food and now mostly watching sports instead of participating (mostly working out to offset all the negative connotations associated with the good life).

Please PM me for my address.

I enjoy all sorts of smokes but tend to have the most familiarity with medium ones (those most easily available at your local Cigar shop/Duty Free) as that is what I mostly enjoyed up till now. Since I started to enjoy the Cigars in moderation I experienced a growth to the more complex full-bodied ones. Although my palate is yet not so well developed at this stage, with the reduction of my smoking consumption, I found that I like the complex varied flavors despite not being a huge fan of spicy finish. This I found to be very true with some ISOM’s I had opportunity to enjoy.

Due to my smoking habits I tend to have a pretty heavy draw so I tend to favor cigars with larger ring size (around 50’s) & a bit on the medium length (5-6”). Some of my favorites are: Piramide, Belicoso, (Super/Petit)Robusto, Hermoso, Corona Gorda, etc. Also I have recently tried to diversify into medium gauge ones but not much experience besides: Corona Grande, Corona & Mareva.

Current selection in my humidor & built in progress Cooledor are: AF(Hemingway,Don Carlos,Anejo); La Flor Dominicana (2000Series, DL, Maduro, LGD); La Aroma de Cuba; Padron (000's, 1964 Anniversary, 1926 #35); ISOM singles & %5'rs (Cohiba, H.Upmann Mag46, BBF, Monte #2, HdM Epc2, RyJ Exb#4, JL Sel#2, VR Unicos, etc)

My future selections are all in progress (taking my time), but I am interested in exploring the following:
AF [Anejo(I got some #50), OpusX, Hemmingway: BTL(Done thanks to Devin), WOAM(Done thanks to Swissy), Untold Story)], H.Upmann, Gurkha, Montes, Partagas, RyJ, Trinidad.

Although Habanos are my main interest: Trinidad, RA, Cohiba, RyJ, Vegas Robaina, Cuaba, H.Upmann, HdM, Bolivar, Punch, Monte's, Juan Lopez ,Quai D’Orsay, SLR, Partagas, Diplomaticos, SP. IS that all! LOL
