About the Cigarnivores: Part 2

I've been dabbling as a cigar smoker for about five years now. I grew curious of the hobby after watching my father smoke sticks since as far back as I can remember. Once I hit the ripe age of 18 I knew it was time for me to start devouring these delicious smokes. I still remember my first cigar, an Acid Cuba Cuba in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I felt like I was on top of the world! Boy was I wrong, since that first smoke in 2008 I've moved on from the Yuppie smokes and realized that cigar smoking isn't a hobby but an art. These fine pieces of tobacco aren't just a bunch of leaves rolled together but masterpieces to admire.

Recently I realized that I have become more than a casual cigar smoker, I have turned into a cigarnivore! Maybe it started with watching my dad smoking these delights, maybe it started with needing something to entertain me while watching my Pittsburgh Pirates, but whatever happened, I've come to the realization that cigars are one of my biggest passions.

Now, I just want to share my opinions with all of you. I've smoked the good and the bad, and I think I can help to keep you from smoking the same bad sticks that I have experienced in the past. We at Cigarnivores pride ourselves on our unbiased, truthful assessments on cigars in today's industry. With all that said, let's light one up!

About the Cigarnivores: Part 1

The idea of Cigarnivores has been floating around in my head for a year or so now, but never did it seem like a viable website to create. Niether of us thought we knew enough about cigars to write about on a regular basis. But after hundreds of cigars, and too many discussions with our friends about our likes, dislikes, and general cigar banter, we've decided that our knowledge of the cigar industry may just help someone out there try a new cigar, or cigar product.

On that note, my name is Michael, and my goal for this website is to share my knowledge and as many cigars as i can with you. Hopefully, in trying out new cigars and cigar products, i'll find a new brand that i can add to my list of favorites.

The cigar brand i smoke the most often is Gurkha or Montecristo, which are both usually priced on the higher end scale. These two brands have never let me down when in need of a well constructed, and wonderfully tasting cigar. My favorite cigar would be the Cohiba Extra Vigiroso, its robust blend of flavors has me craving one as i type. And my least favorite brand is probably Comacho, and it's no fault of theirs, but i'll leave my reasons why for a different post.

So thats a little bit about me, and now that the introductions are through i can start giving my opinion about some great cigars!
