I've settled over the last few months on a couple of the Oliva's - the Serie V and the Master Blends 3 are my current everyday smokes. Really fine cigars.
My son worked for them and loved the company, especially the esprit de corps among the other twenty something employees. We got the favored employee tour of the enormous facilities in Prineville and were very impressed. But when the old man died, the executives moved the administration to Bend...
The Oregon coast is beautiful and we go several times a year, but we've learned (since our kids grew up) to avoid it between June 15 and August 15. Just too crowded and the shoulder seasons are much more relaxing and the weather is more interesting.
Speaking of Subarus, you can count the pastel...

We've seen these sort of reports during his two deployments to Afghanistan and they shake to my knees every time.
His mother and I wake up every morning and our first...
One of the greatest personalities in any field.
I followed F1 and open-wheel racing fanatically through the seventies and eighties, and knew that NL lived at a gut level like few others. He won't fade away easily.
I was thrilled recently when I discovered the current display at Griot's Garage...
"Horse Soldiers" by Doug Stanton, the account of a team of special operators sent to Afghanistan to begin to organize the Afghan army.
Those were some brave guys.

My only son is currently in Afghanistan and ready to redeploy to Fort Drum "soon"...
