Hello all, I just joined this site as my best friend told me to join a couple times and after visiting him in the bahamas and smoking a couple of the cigars he had there I decided why not, especially since the few times I have walked into a cigar shop I've been completely clueless. My name is Aaron and I am in the US Coast Guard currently stationed on Staten Island. When I was visiting my friend I had a Man'O'War Virtue cigar and I loved it, so I'm more a fan of milder cigars and would like to know what is similar to that I guess.

I look forwards to hearing from you all.

Aaron

FINALLY. HAHA. I can vouch for this guy 10 fold. He is like a brother to me. He went through the Academy with me where we did the same sports and hung out every weekend and ended up being room mates for our first duty station in VA. He was the best man at my wedding and an overall great guy. Been telling him about everyone here and how he has to join, he is always shocked when I tell him about how close people are on here and all the bombings that go on. Be warned if you end up meeting up with him for a smoke, he is 6'5 and is huge haha, but dont worry, he is a teddy bear (sorry bro, had to)

Welcome! You'll enjoy your time spent here.

So how did you end up on Staten Island when the Bahamas was an option...?

HA, I guess it's because I'm generally considered a nice person, my fiancee says I'm not a nice person and that I fool people really well as I'm kinda mean when I'm driving.

Good question, I ask how Bryce got the Bahamas and I got here all the time. Unfortunately it all comes down to the fact that the job I'm in now needed an officer with a Civil Engineering degree (I'm in facilities engineering here) and I have one, so they gave me four options and this was the best one. He has a government degree, never thought it would pay off to have a non-engineering degree... oh well. At least now I have somewhere to stay on vacation and save some money. ha.

In other words, I look better in a swim suit so they sent me down here. While he looks to be a viking, so they sent him to NY. That is pretty much my understanding of how they direct us where to go. Could be wrong though.

Funny Bryce, you thought you were applying for a job in DC... I still remember when you came back to the house and asked Kirk and I "hey, did you guys know that OPBAT was in the Bahamas?" and started freaking out because you wanted a job by DC bc of Amber's job.

Yeah, they didn't I guess... at the time I wasn't too happy, however, I have family spread all throughout Jersey (I was born there) and my parents are in PA just 2 hours away, so it works out well, plus I met my Fiancee up here (she's not from Staten Island, her family is in Jersey as well, but she was/is going to school in Manhattan), Where in Jersey are you CO Smokes?
