Formal Introduction

**Paddy** · 01-02-2010, 01:37 PM

Good Day Gentlemen,
I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Paddy. I am a 43 year old Irishman who has been living in the states for 10 years. I was born and raised in Co. Derry, Northern Ireland. I live in a small sea-side town in Massachusetts called Mattapoisett. I’m a Union Crane operator (Local 4 Boston) Laid-off at the present moment. My computer skills up until now have been limited to Goggle searches and email so please bear with me. I just never had the time before. I’m married to a R.N. and we live a quite life. My two loves are Cuban Cigars and Distilled spirits. I will try my hardest not to make an Asswipe out of myself in this forum, but no promises.
Slainte,
Paddy

Welcome paddy!

Do you like Scotch, Irish Whiskey or are you more like me where you'll find pretty much anything with a label on it in my bar.

I've become a big Scotch fan over the past few years but I always have a bottle of Bushmill's, Jameson 1780 and Tullamore Dew on hand as well. My favorite Scotch are the Islays.

We all make asswipes of our selves from time to time - no worries.

Welcome!

Welcome Paddy.

I'm sure that quite a few of us have made asswipes of ourselves in the past as buzz mentioned, but the real trick is to pick yourself up, take your lumps and carry on.

From the few posts so far it looks like you'll be fine.

I have always been a big Scitch & Irish wiskey fan, but over the last few years I find myself reaching for the Tequila bottle more and more. Don Julio blanco when the wallet affords, but day to day Milagro plata, over in the case of tonight Cazadores plata. I ve also been known to enjoy a Havana club or Brugal rum. Love the cuban & dominican rum (dry) hate really sweet ones.

Now you're talking! I love a good tequila as well. But - Blanco tequila???

I prefer at least a Reposado - but more prefer an Anejo.

Rums - I like Zaya and Ron Zacapa probably the best. Havana Club is good stuff as well!

Welcome from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

I visited Northern Ireland back in '96 and loved. We stayed in Dromore. I keep trying to get back over there but can't seem to get the plans to work out. Someday they will.

I also love rested tequila, but there something about blanco's ... just the pure taste of the agave with no oak involved. I find when I am smoking a cigar I want the clean taste of agave, I get enough wood and smoke taste from the stick. I love a good quality Blanco ( Only 100% agave ) little ice and a wedge of lime. All the bad habits are a result of taking holidays to Mexico
