Jamie - if you're ever up in my neck of the woods be sure to let me know - already had a few Brothers out on fishing trips with me. Trying to get a few to head to Belize with me! ;)

Will do. Been awhile since I have fished in Colorado, hopefully I can rectify that. By the way, I have heard Belize is unbelievable.

So I've been around for a few of weeks or so now and have really enjoyed meeting and posting with all the different brothers on here. I was sitting and wondering what do all these guys do for a living and how did they end up doing that.
Me I'm a chef and I grew up in the family business cooking. The Profession chose me I didn't choose it. I love what I do, it comes in handy maintaining my fat guy stature.:chat:

I'm a 3rd year law student in Memphis. Got married in June to a great lady and have a sweet lab/collie mix. I'm new to cigars but quickly learned to love the 1-2hr reprieve from school work and "life" they offer. Hobbies include trying to golf and enjoying pretty much all sports

I was an L3 once so I guess we have that in common, too. Enjoy whatever you end up doing afterwards. Hope your wife likes cigars, either smoking them or watching you smoke them.

I'm currently a freshman at the University at Albany. I'm 18 years old, and have been smoking cigars now for just about 2 years. I'm just starting to get serious about them though, taking note of different singles that I like, etc. I'm currently working towards a degree in business administration, but have just under 4 years to go! I enjoy cigars about 2 times a week. I also am a huge coffee snob (so that crap that they serve at the dining hall on campus doesn't cut it!). I enjoy being outdoors most of the time, yet also sometimes just enjoy being alone inside and uploading pictures from my new camera, playing on the PC, amongst other things. I am not yet happily married (my mom would have a cow!), but have been in a relationship with a perfect gal for almost 2 years coming up. Oh and eating is a hobby of mine too!:grin:

Cigars are an interesting thing all onto themselves. Different kinds, sizes, brands, countries of origin, and tastes.
But the thing I have learned on the boards are the wide variety of people that enjoy them. This is an interesting cross section of people I just wonder what everybody here does to earn money to support the habit.
I would imagine most occupations and vocations will be represented.

Part 2 of my question is what does everybody here do besides smoke cigars and sit on the computer and talk about smoking cigars?

I run a used truck lot in southern Kentucky and have been in auto sales for about 15 years since I moved here from Cincinnati Ohio. We sell almost any kind of truck there is but not much in the way of cars. And I like it that way.

Other hobbies are surfing the net, drag racing and Dirt track late model racing. I like to listen to music mostly the blues but I have ZERO musical ability myself. I am married with a 23 year old daughter and a 20 year old son and that keeps me busy.

Who is next?
I am 34, Married with an 18 month old son. I own a cigar store / lounge for the last 5 years. My other interests include tattoos, over 200 hours in the chair, console video gaming, way more than my Wife understands and generally just hanging out with my Family.

Well let&#8217;s see, I am 38, I work in Wealth Management at a regional bank for nine years now. I changed jobs shortly after my twin boys (10 years old) were born because I missed everything that was going on. I wanted a job that allowed me to be home and more involved as they grew up. Banking seemed to have good hours :) and it turns out I like it. I have been married to my wonderful wife who got the short end of this deal for almost 15 years. I enjoy spending time with the family, I have my pilot license and love to hunt, fish and do just about anything outdoors. I started smoking cigars my second year in college sitting around playing poker (5 card, Texas hold-em was not around back then I don't think). Got a job and moved to the "good" cigars. I enjoy the experience of the cigar not just the smoking. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge and taste thru BOTL. Thanks for making newbie&#8217;s feel welcome.
