If you meet up with me AND show me how to sharpen my knives correctly, I have something that might tickle your fancy.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys

With that said, what are a couple of your favorite Marca's both CC and NC?

Hmmm.... Well I love the entire Padron line. I've had the Anniversary's and I wish I were rich enough to make them an everyday smoke. I've also enjoyed most Perdomo I've come across.
CC, I've only ever smoked a handful. I got bombed a few by Jbo and the Hillbilly Herf last year. I have little such little experience with them I'm not sure I could tell you what I like best.

Now now, let's keep things peaceful. You don't want to start a war.

What year were you born?

Best year ever baby, 1987. The year Reagan got prostate surgery. The year U2 released The Joshua Tree. The first appearance ever of the Simpsons cartoon. Some other crap happened in there too.
Yes a good year indeed.

The year some d00sh was born named Kevin Wilkinson....

No war, just a congrats cigar and thanks for learning me to sharpen things.

Any plans on where you might work?

Dunno man. I've applied to a lot of places for my externship. Hopefully I get a great externship and can stay on board afterward. If I can only get a decent externship, then I'll prob try to stay in that job for at least 6+ months to get some more experience. I'd like to stay in Chicago/Minneapolis/DC/NYC/SanFran (or yountsvillle or healdsburg ). But honestly, this is my career, it's the rest of my life. I'm ready to get started and follow the path that life takes me on.


BTW stop calling me Kevin, Dane.

Anyone needing an address for Kyle I have one that is valid through August.

PM me if interested.



I do know that he is a single malt drinker. Just sayin.

87? Christ! Now I do feel old! Thanks buddy. :

I'm actually an LCB student. To be entirely honest, my school is nothing more than a diploma factory, riding the reputation it built up before LCB bought it out. When I see the people that keep passing classes and see the food they produce and realize it's only b/c they pay their tuition bill monthly, I know it's pretty F'd up. But, like most things I try to realize that I'll only get out of it exactly what I put into it. I definitely don't think I'm going to go into a kitchen and be an exec. chef in 3 years, which is what a lot of my fellow students seem to think.

I can do that.

Conrgrats!!! Any of the Padron Annys will treat you well.

My vote goes to PAMs as well. Excellent flavor, reasonably priced and widely available.

or see if you can track down an Opus X in the WTB forum. They're over-priced and even more over-hyped but still excellent smokes in my opinion.

but most importantly get something BIG like double corona and give yourself plenty of time to sit back and reflect on your accomplishment.

Something from the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos line

I don't really know where to post this or if I should, but I'm excited. I just got my externship at Cyrus in Healdsburg, CA. It's one of the nicest places in the country. I am SO f-ing excited.

[gnukfu]

Congrats!

[kelmac07]

Congreats...great job!!!

[Skywalker]

Congrats Kyle!!!

Can't go wrong with PAM 64 or 26!!!

Nothing says success like an Opus X.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the recs and congratulations.
