Hi All, I was reading another intro and realized I don't think I ever introduced myself properly. My name is Pete W. and I lead the technology group for a heavy equipment dealer. Throughout my career I've always had an email address starting with pw@ so my nick name eventually became Papa Whiskey. We use NATO phonetic alphabet regularly so when telling someone my email address on the phone it has always been Papa Whiskey @ someplace dot com. I live in Massachusetts in the country with my wife and dog and love the outdoors, hiking, riding, skiing, playing golf, and really doing anything outside. I spend way too much money on cigars but love them so I continue exploring and enjoying. I like NC Cohibas but recently got turned on to Arturo Fuente and love every one of them. I like dark oily cigars but the AF natural are also delicious. We have a fairly new boutique cigar shop nearby so I've also been loving Foundation, Tatuaje, and most recently Lampert. It's good to be here with you all. Thank you all for welcoming me and providing some excellent information. I'm glad I found this place.

Nice to meet you, Pete. Also recently got turned onto AFs. Disappointed that I hadn’t tried them sooner.

Never go wrong with Fuente man. They don’t make a bad cigar IMO. Have you had any of the Hemingways yet? Those are some of my faves along with the 858s. The sharks are unreal as well.
Just stay away from the Opus X. I need those for myself.

Where in Mass are you? Spent a good amount of time there on vacations etc. Love the Cape & Boston best. Western Mass is great as well.

From one noob to another, welcome bro.

Oh yes, I love the Hemingways. Been buying boxes of Hemingway natural and maduro though the maduro are hard to come by. Smoking a best seller NT as I type this. I love the 858s and recently was able to score a couple aged boxes of 858 natural and maduro. Tried an Anejo Friday, so good, I need to get more. 858 SG and MagR are also excellent. I haven't tried Opus X yet for fear of falling in love with it but I'll probably snag a couple this week from a local shop while I grab some Ashton VSG I've been eyeing.

I like the coast as well but currently in western mass. If you ever travel back east please let me know so I can offer you some hospitality.

Welcome to the asylum.

Another Masshole? Frankie's been leaving the door open again

Welcome PW

I've got east of 495...PW is in Bucky's area code.

Further west than Bucky, I'm about halfway between Worcester and Springfield.

can you cover out to New Braintree?

Oh yes, New Braintree is right in my backyard.
