Phill

I used to be a very active member here. I forgot my account info to the Phil account, tried to email Rod to get it worked out but didnt get a reply. So this shall be my new account.<br /><br />I had a couple of trades that I left in the air when I lost my job. (no excuses I SUCK for that) MONTHS after I had lost the job my father recieved a certified letter in the mail which he didnt tell me about for at least a month after he recieved it ( I had moved out since I stopped posting on the boards) I logged back onto CP to find people very (justifyably) angry at me. I quickly handled all trades I had left in the air and made good with everyone. Since then I havent been posting. Just reading. I love this cigar board. There is a lot of great info these guys have to offer. I am more than willing to answer any questions a newbie to cigars might have just PM me. Like I said I don't post much and won't trade with anyone who isnt an old friend frankly because I havent done any trades since I flaked out on some people so therefore I only do it with people who know me well. If I could give one piece of advice from the mistake I made. COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY!! To all you new guys, no matter what happens and how crappy u feel (broken cigars, late on a trade/shipment, hell even lost your job) about it LET THE OTHER GUY KNOW whats up. Its key and goes a long way.<br /><br /><br />I like to:<br />Play computer games.<br />Smoke Cigars.<br />BS w/my friends.<br />Watch Football.<br />Discuss Cigars w/other real cigar smokers (I hate the cool guys who only smoke cigars to impress others) (More people then you think fall into this cat.)<br />Chill at the beach (specially w/a stogie in hand)<br />Cooking dinner for my close friends/family BBQ!<br />LAUGH AT SOME OF THE &quot;TASTINGS&quot; IN CA (gotta pick it up every month tho so I guess as funny as I find it I'm a loyal customer)<br />Take a relaxing Drive (lol bay area traffic)<br />Surf cigar boards<br /><br /><br />Cigars I love:<br />(To all you cigar newbies THESE CIGARS ARE AWESOME!)<br /><br />Cohiba Siglo III (Med/full)<br />Cohiba Siglo VI (Full)<br />Cohiba Esplendido's (Med IMO)<br />Cohiba Mini's (AWESOMENESS w/3+ yrs on them)<br />Cohiba SR's (The few that I have had have been FANTASTIC)<br />Montecristo Edmundo (Med/Full)<br />Montecristo #2 (Torpedo) (Full NEEDS 3+ yrs IMO)<br />El Ray De Mundo Choix Supreme (Full)<br />Ramon Allones Specially Selected (med/full)<br />Davidoff 5000 (ISOM) (Mild have had 2 worth the $$ imo)<br />Cuban Davi's (expensive and hard to come by but when aged right almost anything this guy made is blended to perfection)<br />Dominican Davi's Pantelas extra 2000 LE (Mild MMMMMMMMMMMM)<br />Hoyo de Monterey LE 2003 Pyramdes (Med) (these smoked good fresh!)<br />Punch petite Punch (full)<br />Punch Punch (Full)<br />Partigas Lusi (Med) (give them time)<br />Opus X Petite Lancero (Med/Full) Depends on the age<br />Fuente Anejo 46/50/77 (med/full)<br />Ashton VSG (Med) used to be full<br />Fuente Hemi sigs (mild/med)
