Greetings to all! My name is David Miller. I’m a retired US Navy veteran currently living in Oklahoma. I am originally from York County, PA and because of my time in service lived in Italy, Virginia, Nevada and California. In December of 2018, my family and I moved to be closer to my wife’s family who all pretty much live in Oklahoma or Texas.
Since about 1999, my initial year of enlistment, I’ve enjoyed cigars and some cigarette. The cigarettes went away but I still enjoy the occasional cigar from time to time. At around 2014, I was gifted a pipe and some tobacco blends. Not fully certain of things, I started out enjoying aromatic blends progressing through to what I enjoy are Virginia and Va/Per blends at the moment.
A few years ago, I was gifted a DFK leaf. Not knowing what to do, I purchased some other burley and VA leaf to try a home blend. That blend is still aging in my jar. Fast forward a couple years and I was again gifted some blending tobacco. I’m now hooked on doing my own blends and have several jars aging away.
My new goal is to grow my own leaf, cure it, ferment it, mature it and blend it for future blend rotation. My hope and intention is to become more familiar with this forum and just make blends that I personally enjoy.
I hope everyone has a great day! Thank you for the addition!
