OK, since I meet the requirements now, I'll post a reason:
I've been a member on CP for about 5 months now after being invited over here by Preembargo. I've had a chance to meet some great brothers from Texas on here, but do to my job (teacher and coach) I have not been able to spend too much time online. Consequently, I have not had a chance to meet too many of you other brothers. Frankly, I'm also getting tired of Mike, Mark, Jim, Jeff, and the rest of the gang talk about some of you and not knowing who the heck they're talking about. I've been in passes on other boards and I know how much you learn about the guys you're in the pass with. Since CP is starting to become my regular board, I'd like to get out of my little corner of it and get exposed to the rest of you, for better or worse.
Also, I love the search for the HTF cigar!!! When Mike showed me the Pretty Penny Pass I was in love. I've been able to get my hands on some mighty fine sticks that I think some others would love to have an opportunity at, just like ya'll have a ton of sticks that I would love to have a shot at. I think I could hold my own in one of your passes and hopefully provide something valuable back.
In the end, Brian, I hope to get into one of your passes soon, even if this is not the avenue. Thanks for hearing me out!
