CRQuarto

I consider myself someone whom isn't afraid to engage someone in a conversation about anything, and can be very passionate about things I believe firmly in, which has let me into trouble more than a few times. I enjoy learning from my mistakes, and trying to better myself as a person as a result. I'm very blessed in that I have a good number of close friends that I can rely on in the most serious of moments, and I am always ready to do the same for them. I am a young guy, and I realize I still have a lot of growing up to do despite being considerably mature for my age, and so I adhere to the phrase, "To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid." Granted, that doesn't mean I go out of my way to act like an idiot, far from it, but I realize that I will make mistakes and can only use them to learn.<br><br>
I consider myself lucky in that prior to becoming a law enforcement officer, I ran my fathers Italian delicatessen for around six years, during which he taught me how to appreciate fine foods, wines, beers, ect. This helped me in developing a decent palate, which adapted rather well to the enjoyment of cigars.<br><br>
I love meeting new people, so if you are ever in my area and want to get together for a beer, cigar, or whatever, don't be afraid to let me know!<br><br><strong>Wish List:</strong><br><br>

"'Life's a cigar': the wasting body glows;
The head turns white as Kosciusko's snows;
And, with the last soul-fragrance still in air,
The ashes slowly sink in soft repose."
---George G. McCrae, "Life's a Cigar"
