My humblest apologies.... I am a BOTL noob.

[xddco]

I am new to this forum. I apologize for circumventing the formal protocols set forth by the self annointed forum polizia this morning in my haste to contact a fellow Tatuaje fan. I will say ten "hail, Pepin Garcia's" and now move on. :grinFU:

I live in Coral Springs, Fl. I am a retired US Navy Captain who commanded a Destroyer in my previous employment, hence the handle: xddco. eX DDestroyer Commanding Officer. I have been a cigar smoker for many years. I have been on many cigar forums/boards dating back to the old Village Idiots and the mbcls, as well as the Lunatics. I have spent most of my time recently on another forum and have a solid trade reputation there. There are members on this board who also visit the other board that will vouch for that. I look forward to sharing my cigar experiences and learning from yours.

That is all. Carry on.

Fantastic choices! The Padilla, do ye rather Pepin's blend (the older) or the recent?

Being a member of other boards you should already know a few things, especially that you shouldn't come in here being a jerk. BOTL is a different kind of site than most other boards. We're not driven by drama and personal attacks, in fact, you'll find very little of that here, if at all. We're a community built on mutual respect and shared knowledge. That includes respect for the "self annointed forum polizia" that have poured their money and time into building this site. May I suggest you quit with the self-righteous stuff and build a reputation here. Thanks!

That "self annointed forum polizia" is actually one of our moderators (and a key part in how drama-free this forum has remained). With that said:

:welcome:

 

[Hardcore]

I'm sure the moderators were just doing their jobs. They keep things running smooth here so we can all enjoy this board. That said welcome.

 

[Reverend Gonzo]

I have actually been very anti forum because of all the senseless bickering. I'm a recent addition to this forum and only joined when I realized that this group is quite different. I think that you will be pleasently surprised by this crew. If it weren't something different than the norm, I wouldn't be here, myself.

Other than that, welcome! :cbig:

 

[Electric Sheep]

Welcome aboard!

EF the drama llama, just smoke a cigar and enjoy yourself.

 

[stogies&hoagies]

Welcome and thanks for your years of service.

I'm a civilian but have been invited aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln twice by a good friend. I flew aboard once, spent a day and a half, and flew out. The next time was for a week aboard for a "Tiger cruise". I have a strong appreciation for all the men and women in the service, especially the Navy, after living aboard the Lincoln for a week at sea, watching the dedication and professionalism of the crew. I especially liked smoking cigars with the XO and many officers.
So thanks again, and welcome.
