Hey Members, I'm semi retired after 35 years. I reside in southern Alberta, Canada, and spend a lot of time at Twin Lakes Village, just outside Coeur d'
Alene in North Idaho. I am the father of two sons, the grandfather of two girls and one boy. I live by the motto; "life is like a cold beer, there is no such thing as a bad one, it's just that some are a little bit better than others"! I enjoy golf, hockey, smoking and the odd Cohiba, when I can get my hands on them. Oh, also enjoy Miller Chill, good single malt, and my MRS. (but not in that order?????) ;)

W E L C O M E to the Forum spunky3263!

What kind of smoker(s) do you have ?

KevinG · March 02, 2010, 09:45:39 AM

Welcome spunky! We won't hold it against you that you're from Canada, but maybe we will about the Cohiba statement if we ever figure out what that means. ;D

Welcome and beware the counterfeit Cohiba! Even in Canada where they are legal there are more fakes than real ones.

Welcome Spunky!

I have the old style SS, I've had it for some time, but was hesitant about getting on the forums.

Welcome to the forum Spunky. Glad you decided to join us. It's all about fun, friendship and smoking foods in no particular order. You will find this is a pretty unique group of people. Most have never met one another face to face and are scattered all over the world but are ALL willing to help out another member.

Welcome aboard
I too enjoy the odd Cohiba.
I have a box in my humidor, I actually celebrated some early spring sunshine and sat on my deck yesterday afternoon and smoked one
This while my DBS was busy smoking some drum sticks

Have fun and get smoking

I think Kevin is bitter about our mastery in hockey.

Welcome to the forum. Lots good people with good ideas here.

Hey, sounds like a lot of good fun. :D I live in Lethbridge, Alberta, that's about 60 miles north of the Montana border, about half way between
Great Falls, Mont. and Calgary Alberta. I bought my Cohibas in Cuba, at the government outlet. I've been burned by the counterfeits before, that's why I buy at the gov. outlet. We get to Hayden every time we are in Twin Lakes, have some great friends that own the White Horse Saloon in Spirit Lake. :) I personally think we got a bit fortuneate in that gold metal game, we let off the gas >:(and the US sure took it to us.
