OK folks, I can't stand it any longer. I have been reading the boards for several months and enjoy them immensely. With the birth of our first child, Lyndsay Joy, (as an Okie I was taught to always include the middle name) spare time has been rare and I wanted my first post to seem halfway intelligent. But since time is still rare I will just blurt out a post and hopefully it will make some sense:)
A little about myself. I am 33, married a little over a year and a new dad. I am a newbie to cbid but have been smoking since '93. Like a fool I have been purchasing from my local guy all these years, but I have seen the light!! I am an amatuer woodworker and have recently been forced to spend more time in the wood shop so I can make more pieces, so I can sell some of 'em, so I can buy more cigars, so I can smoke more cigars, so I can spend more time in the woodshop, so I can make more pieces, so.....you get the picture.
I mail from the great state of Oklahoma and *darned* (for Trish) proud of it!! Let me just say it is a little intimidating to be among such a great bunch of BOTLs and SOTLs who have such a collective knowledge of gars and the like, not to mention such quick wit, I will try to keep up or just stay out of the way.
In closing, "as a newbie I do solemnly swear to TRY to avoid topics such as overbidding, cooleridor questions, general requests of what to buy and cello discussions. And I will bid low and trade high." Thanks to all for letting me be a part of it!
