    What are you smokin'?

    I have a Fuente condition and pretty much all I smoke anymore. An occasional Diesel or R&J but I think I have found my "go to" brand.

    Working in I.T. 45 years as of today.

    The IT field was the last straw for me and prompted my retirement. The network gurus shutdown the road design software exe, the printer snmp, DOS prompt and made everyone user. So no printing designs, no temp files could be created for calculating as a user (vs. an administrator), and killing...

    For those of you who are retired or making the move to retirement.

    There wasn't a set time for me to retire. I just did it at 60 because the opportunity arose. My health has been good, so far, and I have traveled much more than I ever did when working. I don't know how I worked two jobs and 60-70 hours per week for 15 years and got anything done at home.

    Broken Pipe Brewdude Rande Reed

    I was lucky enough to meet Rande a couple of years ago at a cigar bar in the Phoenix area. He brought some pipe tobacco for me to try. It was a good visit and he will be missed around here.

    Activities to keep your mind sharp?

    Reading books on-line, research cigars, sit-downs, light up cigars, dog walking, and battling wits with the spouse.

    The outcome was a successful delivery after 23 days. The shipment made it to Las Vegas, NV in about a week. It then sat there and no updates for another two weeks. The customer service rep indicated that I had selected the 'no rush' option for shipping which indicates 8-12 business days. The...

    Am I 'old school' and, if so, is that a bad thing?

    I have never owned a gun but know how to use them. I keep thinking about getting one but meh.

    Lost Cigar Order

    I have been having delivery issues from CI the last two times, or the delivery company. I did order some cigars directly from Mombacha in Miami in March and no problem. Thanks for the information about CI.
