Welcome Qualls from a former student class of 1969. I also got my Masters degree from A&M and was on the staff of the data center for 4 years working on a project for Goddard Space Flight Center. I was in Houston on business last year and made a quick trip to College Station. I hardly recognized the place. At least Loupot's and the Dixie Chicken were still there. I guess Arnold's is long gone, unfortunately. Hard to believe that there are 50,000 students on campus now.
I think that you will find that this is the best cigar forum on the web. Sit back, listen to the FOGs here and you will learn a lot.
In the mean time, GIG'EM Aggies.
