48 yrs old, married 12 years, 2 kids, a son 8 and a daughter almost 6.
I started a chain of sub shops with two brothers in '76 in the southeast US. We have 76 units currently open.
I also have rental properties and a piece of a local radio station (That's a license to print money, let me tell you)
Been into cigars about 10+ years.
I snow ski, play golf, fish, although in the last couple years I don't do much of any of that stuff. I enjoy watching the kids grow up and dating my wife.

I'm 43 and married to the greatest lady there is. Been married for 17 years and have three boys. The two oldest (23 & 21) are my stepsons and are both grown and gone. Our youngest is 17 and a Junior in high school. One more year and the wife and I can start our permanent honeymoon. I do well completions and workover work for an oil & gas company that happens to be the largest independent company in the US. Been smoking cigars for about 6 years. The wife isn't crazy about it but also doesn't complain about it either. For years I pretty much just bought em as I smoked em. Just started buying more and trying to set some back to age. Not much luck with the aging part yet. Totally lost in the darkside, and I'm just now wondering into the oblivion of the world of fresh roast coffee. I'm a lost cause, I tell ya!!
In what spare time I have, which isn't much anymore thanks to the price of oil & natural gas these days, I like to work around the house and yard, hunt, fish, watch any and all sports, and just spend time with my family. Used to golf quite a bit until my clubs were stolen and I have just never replaced them.

I am 31 and single here in Reno Nv. My current job is a Surgical Technologist ( set up the OR for the operation and then assist the surgeon during the operation) before that I was a underground miner for 11 years. Currently taking night classes to get into nursing school, and I get to enjoy about 4 to 5 cigars a week. Hobbies include pool, guns, and chasing women not necessarily in that order.

I'm 43 and I work as a systems anaylst running a hospital laboratory systems and consulting on the same. Been doing that for about 15 years. First computer job was upgrading apple II+s from 32k to 48k a long time ago.
Grew up on LI and have been living in NYC since the early 80s - not sure exactly when - it's all a blur now.
The two highlights of my week are Saturday afternoons when I smoke a cigar and read the newspaper at the corner bar and Wedesday nights when I have dinner and play poker.
Always enjoyed listening to music and try to take advantage of catching live music ... the city is a good place for this ... classical to blues. Been in a big blues phase for the last year.
Ex-girlfriend is a chef. Rarely see her but still like to spend time cooking, eating out, and get this ... food shopping.
About the only thing I watch on TV is news and sports. Big news junkie. And since I'm a Yankees/Giants/Knicks/Ranger fan this is a good places to stop this post.

WOW...Great company here!
I'm 49 and married for the 3rd time. My wife Kris and I will be married 5 years this fall. I have 3 children (23yo son, 19 yo daughter and almost 4yo daughter) and 1 grandchild!
I am the Internet Sales Manger for a local Honda dealership, and am pretty comfortable with that right now. I made some major changes in my life here recently, alcohol free. I am trying to get my cigar taste back. I find that I dont have as many cigars now as I did before. I really enjoy being able to think and act clearly.
I like shooting my guns, especially my M1 Garand. This is the year that I am going to start competitions, just to see if I still 'have it'. I just recently started writing a book, it was something I had thought about for years and now I'm going to do it. I enjoy photography and have a real nice Canon D300 that i play with. I LOVE playing with my youngest daughter and watching her grow. My wife has decided she wants another child, so that means more sex! =D>

I'll be turning the big 40 in August, planning on smoking a Padron 40th anni. Seems that would be fitting.
I install DC power equipment thoughout the midwest mainly for telephone and utility companies. My work requires me to travel quite a bit. My wife of 12 years hates it when I'm gone for a week or 2 at a time, I must be doing something right!
We are looking foward to building a log home this spring. Can't wait to get it started, It's been a lot of work getting the plans together and trying to find a builder and the insanity has yet to begin!

Dang! Lots of kiddies in here, not many old farts like me. 
Upstream oil & gas technology is my game - been in the oil patch 17 years now. Married 18 years, no kids, house full of retrievers.

Guns, dogs, and camo: if it flies, it dies! :smt066

Guess I'll go...
I'm 26, live with my girlfriend/future wife. No plans on getting married yet, but we both know it'll happen someday. No kids except my 2 year old Boxer, Oscar.
I'm a computer programmer for a huge drug distribution company in Richmond,VA. I'm moving in the next couple months to sunny San Diego, CA. No job yet, hopefully I'll find one before I leave, or I'll have to stop buying cigars for a while.
My other hobbies include weight training, mountain biking, and road trips.
Guess that's about it!

I'm in the USAF as a Telecommunications Computer Spec and will be retiring after 20 years of service 1 Jan 2006. My wife and I have been married for over 20 years (as of Jan 1 2005) and both are very much looking forward to a new life outside of the Air Force. I've met some great people and been to some facinating places, but I'm ready to settle down and quit moving.
I'm also into photography, on-line gaming (current fav is CoD:United Offensive) drag-racing my '01 Cobra, and NUDITY!!!! Yes, I love the naked female form, I wouldn't say PORN, because most of my collection is Playboy (over 20 Gig last time I checked)

i work in TV production for a military defense contractor to the army. i travel all of the place, and the unit i'm with does "warfighter exercises". i also take night courses and am trying to use up my GI Bill before my 10 yrs are up (and that's where i get the $$$ to buy my cigars).
what else do i do?
i "was" a huge fantasy football player (use to give out advice to all other players, had been asked to write for some websites - that's who deep i was into it. i still play in year long leagues where it's just like the NFL - i won't go into it, or this will end up being a novel, they're that in-depth). was, because now i focus mostly on my family (because i travel so damn much and all my moments count) and the night classes take up a lot of my time.
i don't have time for much other than read/learn/talk about cigars.
oh, i do play Medal of Honor online and am a member of a "clan". but that's just to blow off steam on the weekends when my wife is at work (she works weekends in an ER as a trauma nurse).
