  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Hello from Western New York

Welcome! Why don't you tell us about yourself.

Sorry for the bevity of the first post! I've been enjoying cigars for many years but seriously for the past year and a half. Participating on one of the other boards helped increase my appreciation for brands that I was unaware of as a casual smoker...such as Illusione (personal favorite) and Padilla. Among those brands, my personal favs are the Illusione -2-, Padilla Series 1968 and Miami (the "old" blend). Lately I've been working my way through a box of Pinar Del Rio Oscuro's and was fortunate enough to get my hands on a box of AF WOAM's that I ration to myself.

My favorite beverage to accompany a good cigar is Crown but when I'm in a Scotch mood I prefer 15 year old Glenfyddich. When I'm smoking before lunch, a strong cup of Cuban coffee goes great.

Not being able to afford either a young floozie or an expensive sportscar for my mid-life crisis escape I instead opted for an '07 Chevy HHR that I've decked out in a tropical Key West theme. I've had more fun with that car than any other I've owned with the possible exception of a '68 Austin Healy Sprite from my college days.

Other interests include a fascination with the Civil War having had a great-grand-uncle who was killed at Spotsylvania and a deepening interest in WWII since I've recently discovered a somewhat distant relative who fought and died for the Third Reich (a career soldier who was a WWI veteran so I don't think politically he was a Nazi). My old man was an infantry officer in the US Army in the Pacific Theater so I hope his service cancels out anything bad my German relative may have done. For my part, I spent 3 years active and 20 years reserve in the US Army Medical Department.

I'm fortunate to have a family that understands and sometimes even encourages my cigar habit...married 38 years to the same beautiful woman, have 2 sons both of whom are married to young ladies I'm proud to have be part of the family, and 3 grandsons who are a constant source of joy.

That's all I can think of for now. :laugh:

Welcome and thanks for the intro. I used to work on the shores of Lake Erie, south of Buffalo near a little town called Angola. Perhaps you've heard of it?

Yes indeed! Know it well. We lived in Derby about 30 years ago, just a stone's throw from Angola.
