All right! I can finally light the damn thing! Now refresh my memory - I DO inhale? Or is it DON'T inhale? (Just kidding.)

Alright, I'm ready now to lite up. Maybe tonight outside as the wife won't allow the "stinky things" in the house, or over the Fourth. I am very much looking forward to this. What will be next?

Glad you are enjoying the articles.
Now that you're all brothers and sisters of the stick, we can start in on history, care of your collection, humidors, etc.
I hope you'll enjoy it. And thanks to this website for allowing me to "spread the word".

Still reading your series and still learning a thing or two. Even an old dog can learn a new trick from time to time. Keep 'em comin' and keep herfin'!
