This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
Just before setting aside time to write this article I was editing the video for the Oliva Connecticut Reserve review on Stogie Review. In between tasks I imported my classic rock folder into Winamp and hit shuffle. The usual stuff began playing, then something came on that I haven’t heard in years. All of a [...]

I thought it would be a great way to see a city that I’ve never been to while learning a little about its [...]
At this very moment I am preparing to head down to the Spring City area to visit a very good friend of mine. This friend is directly responsible for my cigar hobby and he never lets me forget it. Before I moved to Reading, we used to hang out on a regular basis. Since the [...]
Last week we talked classic television, now lets talk classic music. Last week I needed to make a trip down to my parents house to pick up some material for a project that I am working on. While there my father and brother were talking about possibly going to a concert in Allentown. A couple [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying to put my Nikon D40 to good use. Being that most of my free time is spend around cigars, they are the easiest items to photograph. I wanted to give you a little visual update on how things are coming along and share with you [...]
With the hopes of bolstering the video content here on Walt in PA.com, I’ve decided to experiment with a series of videos which will be entitled First Impressions. As the name suggests, I’ll be recording my first impressions of a particular cigar. You should know that I am a big advocate of not judging a [...]

Most of these things are cigar related while others just caught my eye while browsing through my feed reader. I would like to get into the habit of posting a [...]
Yesterday, like every Friday, I headed over to the local cigar shop to have a cigar with my father. As of late we have been getting to the shop a few hours earlier than the regulars and have been hanging outside the lounge with the shop owner. Last weekend Kensington Tobacconist launched its brand new [...]

My wife mentioned that I recently had a bunch of trouble with my Windows Vista laptop and finally got it mostly straightened out. This promoted my sister-in-law to ask if I wouldn’t mind fixing [...]
Like most people with a pulse, my life revolves around routine a lot more than I would like to think it does. Every day I wake up at 4:45 AM and prepare for work. After a days work of inputting lines into AutoCAD, I make the drive home. Once home, I fall into another routine. [...]
Over the years I have managed to acquire a solid collection of woodworking tools. Like the typical man, I got a kick out of buying a new tool for a special situation. It all started off with simple things such as hammers and screwdrivers. Later it became a little more involved and turned into different [...]
A couple of years ago Jerry and I were just getting into video reviews over on Stogie Review. Things were very new to us and we were just trying to have fun with it while providing useful information to our readers. One day, while listening to Dog Watch Cigar Radio, I heard Bob talk about [...]
After dinner on Valentines day, my wife and I were unwinding on the couch. She felt like watching a movie so we started flipping through the list of available titles On Demand. With nothing of interest in the new movies listing, we made our way to the large list of free movies. After a couple [...]

The other day I was bitten by the photo bug and wanted to create something that said a little something about me. After giving it some thought, I figured what better way to play with my camera and tell about myself than to capture three of my favorite hobbies. In the photo above, my three [...]
