When we were in Ireland last spring, I got a crash course in Irish Whiskey, which is not real big in the States. Lordy, they have some fine whiskey over there. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring back very much, but I still have a bottle of something called The Wild Geese, and Greenore; they're both smooth as silk, both with a delicate, almost floral note, but they'll both sneak up on you. Trying to think of a Scotch to compare to, maybe Highland Park 18 year, but not really. Definately that smooth, but not as heavy.slickric:im a big movie buff. i like tasting different whiskeys also. so i do all my hobbies at once. drink whiskey, smoke cigars, and watch a movie -
this being said, we really need to get togetherjasonusa1:

Outdoor stuff is fun. I unicycle, for real. Played on a university drum line here for 4 years, do the guitar thing and play heavy stuff but also play in church and with a campus ministry. I want to start playing with the stock market some. I enjoy business, money, and econ/finance stuff.

I work on, build, and race cars for fun. I also shoot my guns, listen to music that gets me thinking, and I Thoroughly enjoy my job as an EMT, and will love it even more when I finally take my state exam to become a Paramedic here this month.
-
In addition to cigars I smoke a pipe as well. I recently gave carving a pipe a shot and it was pretty cool and I'm working on another one as well. I also play guitar and went to school to learn how to build and repair them. I really enjoy photography and have been working on improving with that over the last year and a half. Other stuff I enjoy are playing Poker, watching movies, playing video games, listening to music and I'm a big sports junkie as well.

Been playing both Fantasy and 40K since I was in middle school. Currently have a 2000 pt Word Bearers army, 1500 of Black Templar, and a few thousand points Warriors of Chaos in fantasy. In addition to that stuff, I have more assorted minis than I have room for, from every army under the sun, and every game system out there. I am a big Tolkien nerd, and have been for ages, so the LOTR models are awesome, especially the characters that are from The Silmarillion, like Glorfindel who is one of the most badass characters in Fantasy literature, but since he has such a minor role in Fellowship, and similarly small in Silmarillion, most don't know who he is.sol1821:i used to do that, only ever lost one battle and that was my first one, it was against one of the guys that worked at the shop lol. i challenged him to a re match a few months later and whooped his *** so its all good.
i was quite good at the painting just dont have the time for it now
is it war hammer you do mainly? i used to collect the lotr stuff
still got all the good ones in a display cabinet
Glad to see that there are some D&D players here. Makes me feel less nerdy lol. -
I am a huge War Hammer fan, but never had the guts to tackle painting those miniatures. Played once at my local SciFi shop and whooped ass. Imperial cavalry round the flank, archers obliterating their charging chaos inf, and my halberdiers beating them back every time. I really wish I had picked up on the game back when more locals played it.
-
Yeah, playing huge games, especially Fantasy, with huge regiments, blocks of infantry, and cavalry flanking, and charging across the field, and then you know, giants, and dragons on top of that causing mayhem... Its cool as hell.
-
I train Jiu-Jitsu and am the owner and head instructor for Fightworks Academy in Sterling VA. www.fightworks.net if you are interested in learning more or don't know what Jiu-Jitsu is. I am Relson Gracie's 39th Black Belt.
-
War Hammer books also another favorite of mine... I love to lock myself away for 6 or 7 hours on a day off (i get one or two every few months...) and read through a book... then pick up another and keep going! lmao
-
I have a lot of hobbies that are friendly to sitting down with a cigar:
video games (TF2, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War franchise), collect and watch anime, read novels (sci-fi/fantasy), movies.
Good to see so many Warhammer/40K folks in here... guess cigar hobbyists are cut from mostly the same cloth. -
Been reading 40k Novels recently. Horus Heresy series (so 30K, actually, I guess lol), and I think they are some of the best Black Library novels out there. Obviously those written by Graham Mcneill and Dan Abnett are superior, with the rest only achieving varying levels of success (Battle for the Abyss for instance... is unreadable, while The First Heretic is pretty decent, those examples being relevant to my interests as a Word Bearers player for ages)
-
Anyone ever read the Konrad Series? I LOOOVVVVEEEE those books.
-
Here's what I like to do with wooden cigar boxes: I love to collect wooden cigar boxes.

Tabletop miniature wargames do it? I've been collecting and playing various Games Workshop games since I was in middle school. I have won painting contests, etc. Serious business.stephen_hannibal:
dude unless you collect pokemon cards I think you're good.docbp87:Ha. Other than cigars, my hobbies are farrrrr too nerdy to post in this thread, at least yet. Maybe if someone else does first.
My wife is a nerd. She used to play a lot of D&D, Warhammer(?), etc...
When I'm at home, I'm a golfer (when I carried a USGA handicap, I was a 10.9).
While I'm working here in Kuwait, I play MW3 on X Box and smoke cigars.
-
We also love to travel, camp in our RV. Here's a pic of us in Charleston (I love Charleston).
-
Wow, Doc you have a huge movie collection. I have just under 2,000 with about 100 blus. Way too many to move around..
My other hobby's would be, I love board games, my wife and our two other friends do get together like every other weekend. Now we are playing twilight imperium.
I buy up a lot of star wars stuff, use to do figures, sold a lot of them, then mini busts, sold a lot but kept a good amount, now am doing figures in the 1/6th scale and higher. Some props and what not.
Started pipe smoking
I love technology, so I am always getting new home theater stuff, and always new computer components. I game a lot too.

Gentle Giant and even sideshow have some great LOTR stuff. Not sure if you knew that or not.docbp87:
