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.
Being the new father of a beautiful baby girl, I’ve found that my free time isn’t what it used to be. I still manage to sneak in a few cigars while working on Stogie Review content and do a little light reading, but I have found it difficult to work on creative writing. I originally [...]

This week I’ve been given my first taste of what it is like to be a stay at home dad, while not really being a stay at home dad. Like most families here in the US, when my wife delivered she took maternity leave from her place of employment. For the past three-months she has [...]

Having been a cigar blogger for more than four-years, it is not uncommon for Stogie Review to receive questions on how to handle reviews and articles being republished, without permission. Under most circumstances this type of problem is the direct result of a scraper site. To make our blogs convenient, we package our work into [...]
As I sit here staring at a blank word processor, I fight the urge to try and rub the sandy texture out of my eyes. I found myself glued to the television last night and didn’t get to bed until much later than usual. I’ve become engrossed by a television show and kept telling myself [...]
There comes a time in every persons life when they hear the call. It can be difficult to pick out in the still of the night but it is there, gentle yet persistant. When I heard the call, it was clear to me. In the time it takes the heart to make a single beat, [...]
I am passionate about cigars. So passionate, in fact, that I spend a fair bit of my time contributing to a popular cigar review site, Stogie Review. Over the past three years, my partners and I, have been traveling to the annual IPCPR trade show as members of the press. Press coverage is something that [...]
“You know, there are some jobs women are simply not cut out for. Changing the station on the television is at the top of the list, now would you give me that damn clicker!” Milton’s patience was wearing thin as he watched his wife, Martha, control the television. Warm summer air blew through an open [...]
Self mutilation is the act of causing bodily harm without the intent of death. By definition, I mutilated my body by removing three of my own fingers. The intention was not to bare a battle scar that could be used in an attempt to pick up women, my intention was to preserve life. It may [...]
Over the past couple of months I have been doing my best to regularly participate in creative writing groups across the web. I not only find it enjoyable to write in a fictional fashion, I also enjoy reading from the huge pool of short stories. Both Fiction Friday, by Write Anything, and #FridayFlash, by JM [...]
Rain draws near. As the thick black clouds roll across the sky, one persistent phantom of my past comes to pay a visit. Like any courteous guest, I am presented with gifts upon arrival. First a dull ache, then a vivid rush of memories. My uninvited guest goes to great lengths to remind me of [...]
Book Review Seven Days of Terror Earlier this week I wrote up a quick post talking about my birthday and having received a Nook from my wife. After playing with the device for a few minutes, I hopped onto the web in search of an eBook to try it out. Earlier that day I spent [...]
Last week I celebrated my twenty-eighth birthday. Ever since turning twenty-one, I haven’t seen birthdays as the exciting days that I used to. I suppose in my youth, each year drew me closer to the legal drinking age. Once I crossed that milestone, there wasn’t anything else to get excited about. At twenty-five, I received [...]
