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.
So the old saying goes “March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb”, or at least thats what I remember being told in grade school. While I don’t remember exactly what the weather was like in the beginning of the month, here in Pennsylvania, but the weather at the end of the [...]
In a continuation of last weeks First Impressions video of the Davidoff 6000, I decided to go right ahead and smoke the next cigar in the package I received from Davidoff of Geneva. The cigar being burned this time around was the Classic No. 2. The Positive: Consistent flavor profile that grew richer along the [...]

Last week I did a Cigar of the Week video on the Davidoff 6000. In that video, I made mention that a person from Davidoff was kind enough to send me a package. Within the package was a DVD that featured the history of Davidoff of Geneva and showed how much effort is put into [...]

Just like any job, you have a tendency to collect a variety of tools for a variety of situations. You may just have a tool in your collection [...]
Yesterday I went on to tell you a little bit about my allergy issues and the dilemma I was having. Rather than call the doctor and make another appointment, I decided to look into a suggestion made by Carlos in the comments section. Carlos wrote: I don’t suffer from allergies but my wife does, big [...]

Knowing these symptoms all too well, I knew allergy season was about to rear its ugly head. By Monday the symptoms grew to [...]

One of these friends religiously watched Star Trek, Hercules, and Xena every time a new episode aired. Before heading out to meet up with more friends, [...]
For this edition of First Impressions, I take a look at the Davidoff 6000. This cigar was sent to me by Davidoff of Geneva a week, or so, ago without my knowing it was coming. Coincidentally, I conversed with an individual, who prefers to remain unidentified, who never mentioned having worked for Davidoff. This person [...]

On a couple of occasions every week, I like to treat myself with a cigar while I work on this site as well as Stogie Review. It helps me unwind a bit and acts as a reward for putting forth a set amount of time to make sure certain things come about. That cigar, or [...]
A few weeks back, I wrote a post on how I have comfortably settled into a day to day routine that involves watching re-runs on television before dinner. While that hour, or so, after work may not have seemed like much, its tough to adjusting to doing something else in place of that activity. Since [...]
Today while at work, my mind began to wander as I punched in commands into AutoCAD. For whatever reason, the line “I put on my robe and wizard hat” popped into my mind. As soon as the words played out in my head I got this big, stupid, full blown koolaid smile across my face. [...]
Over the past couple of years I have grown very fond of forums. The sense of community is fantastic and niche specific sites are an incredible wealth of knowledge. One of the earlier forums I was a member of is no more. It was called BFStats and was a gaming forum geared towards Battlefield 1942. [...]

Since getting our puppy Syrus, I’ve been spending alot of time outside over the past three days. Sometimes my time is spent tossing an air dog toy, walking the pooch, or the dastardly [...]
