Thread: The New Guy

  1. Default The New Guy

    Before I begin, please note that this is all bigpoppapuff's fault. :D

    I'm a relative newbie to cigars, although technically I have smoked them since the mid '70s. At that time a dozen a year was a lot for me, and I mostly smoked GyV and DeNobili. Heck, I'll still grab an Avanti once in a while.

    Only in the past year and a half or so have I become a regular herfer. It was mostly a result of being involved in many weddings, and then exacerbated by my involvement in the local gun club, which allows smoking and has a reasonable bar. Anyone in the Rochester area want to meet me for a smoke & a drink, let me know. Bring a gun, and we'll miss some clay too!

    Yes, I am a pastor. For 15 years or so I was involved in big, business-oriented churches, but now I provide my services to the community at large. We have a small, informal group that meets every Sunday at a coffee shop in the private room. I also am a member of my local police department's response team.

    And to set the record straight, I have never witnessed Kevin cursing in church, although he would be welcome in mine (cursing and all). Heck, I'd probably put him in charge of the collection!

    I've been married 9 years to a very patient woman, and we celebrated out anniversary last Wednesday (yes, Valentine's Day). I have two daughters, and three guns. Yes, these topics are related. :D

    My hobbies include hunting, shooting, wine and bourbon tasting, and keeping the beer industry going. Oh, I also like cigars.

    Welcome to the board from Maryland. Drinking, smoking and shooting firearms now that sounds like my kind of range (too bad I couldn 't find one around me like that).

    I suggested that we rename the club "Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" (as local law enforcement uses our grounds for bomb squad testing) but no one would back me on the idea!

    welcome.

    A friend of mine get together a few times a year to discuss theology over cigars, wine, and beer. Great combination if you ask me. The guns part we'll have to work on...

    Wow, you sound like a real interesting guy. I like the club name, if you start a petition, I'll sign it. Welcome from DC.
    PS-Kevin as the collector would probably boost your offerings.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
