It's nice to be back, I have been a member since 2006 but took a very long break from posting. (no health issues, etc, just work / life priorities) I'm still living in Round Rock, TX and after 12 years here I have no regrets about leaving N.Y. , I like Texas more and more each day. Since leaving N.Y. and IBM I have worked that last 8 years for Apple, Inc. (corporate) all home based. My current plan is to leave there 11/2017 and start enjoying my social security at 62. Since I last posted my 2 daughters have all grown up an are in college (University of Texas at Austin & Southwestern University at Georgetown, Tx.) . Hobbies are cooking, photography, pool and kayaking. My cigar preferences are mainly Cuban , I find that the majority of very good non-cuban cigars (Davidoff, Padron, Graycliff, etc) cost as much or more than boxed priced cubans so there you go. I do buy non-cubans but they only account for about 15% of my stock. I love to age my cigars and have many Cuban LE's that date back to as far as 2001. With my cigars I enjoy a great cup of coffee (espresso or regular) or a nice stout or porter, with an occasional Anejo tequila. I look forward to meeting new friends and renewing some long overdue ones. If you're in the Austin, Tx area a meet up is always welcome !! I am currently fulfilling my long term humidor goal - converting an antique oak ice box , I will post some pics on that later. To any of my old friends, please drop me a PM and let me know whats new ..., how's the fishing Skipper ?, I finally made it up to Sitka, Alaska for king salmon fishing .... it was awesome. (thats what my profile pic is from)
