I'm learning (slowly)

As a complete noob to both the enjoyment of cigars and to CP I wanted to say thanks for the stuff I have been learning.

I hit the local shop on my way home today to pick up a couple of the suggested cigars I have been given. They did not have any of the Oliva G's in stock that I could find, not to say they weren't their I just couldn't locate them and the owner was busy. So, I went to the other side of the humidor and found the RyJ Bullies that Boar recommended; grabbed three and then hit the road. Two lights later I made a dash into Wally World and picked up a Ronson Jet Lite that I found talked about in another thread. For a sub $3.00 lighter all I can say is Wow!!!! The SOB damn near burned my finger in the process of lighting my cigar, think it would be wise to turn down the flame just a tad on that one.

I did not break out in a cold sweat with this cigar as I did with the Padron 7000 maduro so that's a plus... good thing too as I was driving. :D

Last thing, what exactly is a "yardgar" I have been searching for that after seeing it used but all I have done is come up with three definitions of my own based on where I read it:

1) Something that you get from following rover around, picking up his crap, wrapping something around it and smoking it ala Cheech & Chong.

2) Something that your wife refuses to allow you to smoke indoors.

3) A smokable though inexpensive cigar something similar to a "Blue Light Special" or maybe a "Generic" cigar.

Okay back in my hole.

A gar you smoke while cleaning the yard.
 
The third one is the closest. An inexpensive cigar that is good for smoking while working in the yard, walking the dog, etc., but one not necessarily deserving your full attention.

Doesn't get your full attention. That's a good way to put it! :thumbs:

Yes.



Enjoy the ride. You've got lots to learn!
 
While yardgar doesn't appear, there are two threads pinned at the top of The Lobby forum that should be good reading for you.
 
Okay, thanks all! guess I wasn't to far off base...
