A few years ago I was heavily into Battlefield 1942, a first person shooter for the PC. As I played more and became much more competitive, I joined the High Plains Strike Force gaming clan. The clan had a forum for everyone to make use of. In the general section I came across a link [...]
A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted to go back to school and get some sort of degree. After some serious consideration, I started taking night classes to get a degree in Architectural Drafting and Design. Four days per week I arrived for class at 5:00 PM and made my way home [...]
Back in July I was fortunate enough to go a large cigar convention for retail tobacconists, the IPCPR. All of the Stogie Review Staff flew out to Las Vegas to cover the event as members of the Press. With few cigar bloggers at the event, we were in a very good position to be one [...]

Every year just before Christmas, my wife and I put together a list of gift ideas for each other. Every year she goes out and tries as best as she can to stick to my list while I generally ignore hers. I like the idea keeping away from the list because it makes Christmas more [...]
When Stogie Review was setup, everything was taken care of by my good friend Jerry. He handled the wordpress installation, revamping the theme, and setting up all the necessary plugins to make the site operate as we planned. At that point in time, when I looked at the coding of the site it was like [...]
A few years ago, when I was very big into photography, I had a group of familiar places that I used to go to when I got bored, or didn’t want to go more than a few minutes from home, to take pictures. The place I went most often was the Daniel Boone Homestead in [...]
