Here is the latest and greatest. I haven't had much time to be on CigarPass due to life in general, but decided to come back for some more. Once again I am deployed and this time it is in Kuwait. I'll be down range for about nine months and plan to smoke a few cigars this time as well. I am a major in the U.S. Army Reserve and have been in the army for about 21 years. I am also a past president of the now defunct Victory Cigar Club, a club that started as a chapter of the Baghdad's Cigar Aficionado Club which was in the International Zone.<br /><br />When not in uniform I work as a logistics manager for an electronics company and live just beneath the Allegheny mountains in southwestern Pennsylvania. I average about one cigar a week, more if I have the time. I have also taken an interest in pipe smoking, just to do something different now and then.

For starters I love a great cigar and the occasional pipe along with some good sippin' bourbon. I am a big fan of live music (bluegrass, blues, jazz, rock, world, country) and play the banjo a little. My interests when I have time (which is rare) are backpacking and camping, reading, cooking (seriously into traditional barbecue), homebrewing, some shooting sports, gardening, and astronomy. If I am lucky I golf maybe twice a year and go fishing with dad now and then.
