In brief: Husband. Father. Roman Catholic. Patriot. Shooting Enthusiast. Craft Beer Fan. Sipper of Whiskey. Smoker of Cigars. Enjoying Retirement.
Written by an enthusiast with no claims of expertise, this blog primarily serves as a personal journal to capture and celebrate life’s simple pleasures. It’s a place for reflections on the craft beers and whiskies savored, fine cigars enjoyed, time spent at the range, and the cherished moments shared with family.
Few things compare to the tranquility of spending an hour or two with a well-crafted cigar, reflecting on days past or envisioning days ahead. Whether in solitude or shared with friends, the rich aromas, complex flavors, storied history, and meticulous craftsmanship of hand-rolled cigars create a uniquely satisfying experience.
These moments are often paired with a good craft beer or a fine bourbon. The artistry and dedication behind brewing and distilling mirror the skill and care that go into cigar-making. Perhaps that’s why the two pair so harmoniously. This blog will delve into those connections, exploring the interplay between cigars, beers, and spirits that elevate these simple joys into memorable experiences.
I also enjoy shooting both for fun and to prepare for self-defense. Whether participating in matches, attending training classes, or taking casual trips to the range, I aim to make the most of these opportunities whenever my schedule allows.
These musings will also explore issues related to the Second Amendment, freedom of religion, and other subjects that are vital to a free society—or at least to me personally. As a proud citizen of the United States of America, I have a deep respect for the values this country represents and no tolerance for those who dismiss them. Love it or leave it.
I am also incredibly fortunate to have a beautiful, loving wife and a wonderful son. Family is a cornerstone of my life, and you’ll find occasional reflections on family matters here as well.
Cheers,
David
