I am an avid cigar smoker. Probably average 20+ cigars per week. Locally, I am known as the cigar Don (godfather). Ligero is a type of cigar leaf (the strongest of cigar leaves). So naturally put that together as Don Ligero. 
Clever! I learn something new every day. Tobacco farms were very prevalent in CT and there are still many. Perhaps some of your ligero leaves come from here. It made me sad when a huge tobacco field, along with the accompanying distinctive barns, where razed and replaced by an humongous Amazon complex.Don Ligero said:I am an avid cigar smoker.

So actually, one of the more prominent tobaccos for cigars is called Connecticut shade. Where ligero is the top leaves that get the most sun which makes them really strong, CT shade is actually grown in the shade (mesh above it). Less sun, makes for a milder, sweeter tobacco leaf. (useless stats for the day).MakeItaDouble said:

I grew up in a rather toxic and dangerous environment full of bad vibes, and I was determined to not repeat the cycle. Happy to say, I succeeded! So 'good vibes' is more than just a name for me; it's my mantra.

Not at ALL useless! The man who raised me grew up a tobacco farmer in Tennessee. Visits to Grandpa's tobacco fields and the drying/smoking sheds were a beloved feature of my childhood.Don Ligero said:... CT shade is actually grown in the shade (mesh above it).

Your comment brought back tender memories - thank you for that Don.
I drive by tobacco fields all the time. Some are grown in the shade and some are not. I have friends whose older siblings grew up working those fields. I think that is no longer the case as most of the youth of today are not enticed by back-breaking labor under the sun for low pay.Don Ligero said:So actually, one of the more prominent tobaccos for cigars is called Connecticut shade.

I used to be known for having really extravagant peacock feather earrings and otherwise wearing all black. One of my friends jokingly said I was like a “goth peacock” and here we are.
Hmmm…this would include my age bracket but I don’t recall it. Maybe it’s because of my age.AndyPanda said:It aired in the late 70’s and early 80’s as well. Lol. I’m not that old yet.
I’ll have to google it.
It reminds me of something for sure but haven’t put my finger on it yet.SassyPants said:
Confession…I just googled it. I’ve never watched Big Bang Theory so I didn’t know what your name meant.Sheldor said:Who does not like Sheldor?

What a great thread! I’ve read most but not all yet. I often wonder why someone chooses a particular username that’s unique.
As for my username, I was on Reddit a lot at the start of my journey that led me here. I remember a moderator on the Mounjaro subreddit had the username of Weezer Jefferson, and I loved it. So when I joined this forum and another, I chose another character from 70s television…Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company.
I was on a cruise last week and saw someone dressed as Mrs. Roper for 70s night. I thought…ha! I’m doing that my next cruise.
