I introduced myself on Ripper's thread just to reinforce that there's more than
one "old new guy" from Washington that's been lurking here for a few weeks.
My short time status as a CSer shouldn't be confused with my cigar experience, though. I've been enjoying cigars since 1968 with alarming regularity. I've smoked a lot of cigars and know what I like. Was a time when I thought the market was just loco, with crappy new brands of un-smokable inferiority, but no longer. We've been getting some great product these last few years. I'll look forward to discussing them with you all.
If you're in Seattle, look me up and I'll be happy to offer you a smoke and a ride on this....my other great passion. She's "Rita," my favorite place to smoke a cigar . Pampero is one of my favorite rums, in case you were curious, and I'd be happy to discuss rum pairing with any interested parties as well. Rum is, after all, the stuff they make where they make great cigars. Coincidence? I think not!

Rita, cruiser and cigar spot supreme

That's me on the right (port side) of the boat in Victoria, BC, with some local friends. I'm the one with the gar in my face.

The table.....is set.

I like these too, been riding for 44 years.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
