    Default Allow me to introduce myself

    Hi all. New member here just saying hi. I have been a cigar smoker for several years, with Romoe Y Julieta, Macanudo, Occidental, Alkazar, etc as some of my favorites. Nothing is better than sitting on my deck, smoking a cigar and discussing life or just reading a book or magazine with a cigar in hand (and a drink). I am lighting up a cigar as I type this, enjoying the view of the colorado mountains in the cool, crisp, 29 degree air.

    Welcome from below the Mason Dixon. The line that seperates the men (that would be us) and the boys.

    Welcome from the further west and not nearly as cold (or as high) mountains of the Sierra Foothills.

    Actually, it is a group effort involved in the background checks around here, and it is a rotating schedule; this time I get to bring the cookies!

    Yeah, and I do the retinal eye scans. Although our equipment is a bit outdated. I have to stare the subject in the eyes and draw what I see with crayons.


    OK, time for an only slightly related story. I started a new job as a computer programmer at a major Bank on Sept 10 2001, the day before 9/11. As part of the first day festivities we all get fingerprinted and that gets sent of to the CIA or FBI or Basil's mom or sumthing. In any case, 9/11 happened the next day and the FBI is now overloaded with background checks. Any discrepancy gets kicked out immediately. They just didn't have time to research anything.

    Ok, I'm missing my right hand little finger due to an industrial accident a long time ago. So my fingerprint card gets rejected as "incomplete" I guess they couldn't wrap their head around the idea that somebody had less than the socially acceptable 10.

    The odd thing is that if they had just looked up my social security number they'd see that I had secret clearance with the Navy and my card over there also showed only 9 fingers. Oh well, they were busy and they did the best they could.

    You name it and I will probably read it. I am a big reader and love to read while smoking. i read every issue of Cigar Aficianado and most car magazines (also a big corvette fan). Love reading financial journals, political and world issue magazines, novels, history, and even a Playboy magazine when the wife is not around. cigar time is my time
