Building Relationships through a Cigar...

[Nature]

Hats off to you Mark. It is certainly a start to a great relationship one can only treasure. I guess one of these days he will be joining this family as well?

Yes, they were married last July.

Nice story!

I fully intend to vet any gentlemen callers. We'll start by having a house rule that the first few dates have to be at home, playing board games, with the whole family. Some of the less savory gentlemen will not put up with not being able to take my daughter out, alone, straight away. That is fine with me.

The first time we met, my wife and I sat him down in a chair in the corner and we grilled him for about 20 minutes. Now, he stands about 10 inches taller than me and he later admitted that I scared him.

Great story. My little girl is 5 and already I dread the day the boys come knocking. Lol. It sounds like your daughter chose well and you also get an opportunity to mentor a future BOTL. I hope I too get that lucky to have something like this great hobby to bond with the future SIL. Oh yeah, he dang sure better know how to hand a gun as well. If he can't protect himself how can I ever expect him to protect her...lol.

Congrats sir!!

He is a good guy; needs a bit of direction and ambition though.
Yes, he does shoot. That's another thing he has invited me and my son out to do. Perhaps another bonding opportunity.

Thanks for sharing. Good job getting landing a Noob BOTL. Tell him to get on CB when he is ready to take the hobby on. I am sure we can help fill his storage containers

I began to steer him this way. Perhaps he will make a showing someday?

Great story. Almost makes me wish I had a daughter so I could have a similar experience one day.

No you don't. Have the experience with your sons.

That is super sweet Mark. It sounds like your son-in-law just needed an excuse to bond with you. I wish my father would smoke a cigar with me, but alas, he thinks it is a nasty habit akin to cigarette smoking.

When he is ready for that humidor, I will be sure to send him your way!
