Hello all,

I am a retired AF disabled vet who loves the cigar lifestyle. I live on the central coast of California with my wife (26 years of putting up with me) and my two kids. Have will over 600 cigars and just recently (11/30/14) bought the Verona Deluxe Cabinet Humidor (winning bid was $271 Drool ) can't wait for it to get here (wife on the other hand will probably kill me Frying pan ), but since 8 Dec is my 50th bday Boo hoo! it will make a damn nice bday gift. Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and hope everyone has an oustanding day!!

Welcome aboard...wait...that is navy. I am retired Army, that is still working for the Army as a civilian now. Nice humidor. Then again, you have a nice investment in a lot of cigars, so you need a good humidor to keep them in good shape...tell her that one. She might believe it.

Welcome.

There's a handful of AF vets here, myself included.

Read the FAQ and the abbreviations thread is a good QRL for some of the acronyms used here.

What was your AFSC?

Any wife that puts up with the asshatery of cigars is a keeper, and I'm sure she will be glad to have the closet space back!!!

Welcome grumpy. Thanks for your service. You'll like the cabinet. I picked up one about a month ago off craigslist for pittance. I had to drive about 30 miles to pick it up. Six hundred cigars will fill it about 1/4 of the way so start buying.
