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.
As per the request of Johnny, this week I decided to take a quick detour from my tour of Davidoff of Geneva products and take a look at something less expensive. The cigar this week is the Primera de Honduras and is a product of Benny Gomez Jr. I was introduced to Benny at 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 [...]
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 [...]
The Cigar of the Week, for this week, is the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 in a Petit Corona format. This cigar is one that I have been smoking off and on for a couple of years now. It has always provided a full bodied, full flavored smoke that packs a punch. For an in-depth [...]
During the week, last week, I spoke with a fiend of mine about heading down to Gettysburg for re-enactors appreciation weekend. Being a bit of a history buff, he has headed out for the last three years to check it out. I went along for the ride last year and had a good time, so [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
More than a year ago I was an active member of an up-and-coming cigar forum. As people got to know one another they began talking about having herfs (local meet ups revolving around cigars). As it turns out, one of these meet ups was being held at my local cigar shop by someone that was [...]
A few years ago I was at a club in Philly called Tiki Bobs. A very good friend of mine used to like hanging out there so I made a point to check it out with him and his brother one night. After a few high priced beers I got to moving around to check [...]
For the last several years I have been a tea drinker. My mothers side of the family was big on tea while I was growing up, spending alot of time with that part of the family must have brushed off some of that love for tea on me. Tea was, and still is, my drink [...]
Ever since I received my camera, I have been ready to put it to use. Ever since the battery fiasco was taken care of, I’ve been trying to snap a few pictures every night. Some turn out while others quickly get deleted. Its been loads of fun so far. I’ve been taking photos of cigars [...]
This past weekend was a busy one for me. After a hellish day with a low-flow shower head, I decided to jump in the car and go visit my parents. For the fairly short ride down, I lit up a Flor de Oliva Maduro. This is a pretty inexpensive cigar that I have been smoking [...]
