At Reinado we manufacture and distribute Uniquely Fermented Nicaraguan Puro Boutique Cigars. We just attended the 2011 IPCPR show in Las Vegas where we launched 2 new sizes in our core line. A 4 x 38 petite corona called "Habanito" and a 6 x 60 called "El Emperador". Both are wrapped in a habano rosado wrapper with our signature unique fermentation puro blend. The torpedo has just received a 91 rating in Smoke Magazine. Visit ReinadoCigars.com for our latest news and information. Thank you.
What do you do and what else do you do?

I am 41, and my wife and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary. We have a 6-month old son, Alex, and two English Bulldogs, Zoe and Zeus. I have been enjoying cigar for just over 20 years. I just started my 13th year as a high school teacher, and am looking into a move into high school counseling when the opportunity arises.
I recently started a cigar-related podcast, Cigar Snapshot, to have a little fun and see what happens. I am also a moderator and regular poster on the Stogie Chat cigar forum.
I am an active member of my local Masonic Lodge (Modesto #206 F&AM), the Scottish Rite, and I am a Shriner too.
I also enjoy quality coffee, craft beers, and technology.

I'm a 33 year young engineering technician for a global oilfield services company. I have been enjoying cigars for over six years now and my wife will even join me from time to time. We nave 3 dogs and no children yet. Along with smoking cigars I enjoy hunting, fishing, flying RC and full scale planes, kayaking and anything else that can be enjoyed outdoors! I do a fair amount of I international travel with work and have learned to TAKE YOUR OWN CIGARS WITH YOU, especially to Norway and most Asian countries!
I celebrated my 3rd anniversary of my 39th birthday this year and have been married for 23 years. I have three children all boys ages 15, 17, 21. I went to Marshall University and have been a crane operator most of my life. I enjoy camping, travel and football. I started smoking cigars on a regular basis about 4 years ago but smoked a pipe for many years before that. I currently have 2 humidors set up. One is a 150 count and the other is a 300. I have dreams of building another out of an old antique cabinet but have not found the cabinet that is just right yet. I fund my addiction by selling sports memorabilia in my spare time. This is the first forum I have ever participated in so please be patient.

Great questions. I am a published author of 12 years writing erotic romance (that's code for romance stories involving sex!) novels. I also edit for the house I primarily publish through, an represented by two agents, a publicist and I teach classes to writers.
I also play 5 string bass guitar on rare occasion, enjoy a good chess game and I'm an avid reader, mostly of erotic romance fiction though I pick up wine/cigar trade mags from time to time.
I enjoy fine liquor/wine and consider myself an enthusiast but my real passion will always be writing romance fiction. Can't beat a job where 98% of my peers are women...

I am 46 and I am a Christian and a devout follower. I have been married for 26 years to my high school sweetheart, Jackie. We have one son, Jesse, who will be 19 this December. I took him to the Humidor on his 18th Birthday and we celebrated with a Fuente. JD gave me an Acid for him to have on his 19th birthday. I work in network operations for HP. I ride a Harley dresser and have been riding since I was 16. The last few years I have been trying to learn to play the guitar. I enjoy watching football and Nascar. Go Ravens!
Just saw this pop up in the latest topics on Tapatalk, what a cool thread. Really is very cool to see how many walks of life and ages that a passion for a good smoke and a little relaxation covers.
So I'll throw my hat into the ring...
I'm a 26yr old restaurant manager/supervisor for a winery & restaurant company based out of the Chicago suburbs. I'm also casually pursuing becoming a sommelier as part of my work too. Single, no kids, not even a dog or a fish, and not very much interested in any pets or girlfriend or wife right now anyways. Almost got married earlier in my 20s, I'm much more content being in love with my job and my passions outside of work now.
Speaking of those passions outside of work; when I'm not working, as a former advertising and art major, I enjoy sitting down and drawing, wine (sommelier in training, duh), liquors, good food, sports of all kinds (I will literally watch any kind of sport on TV, aside from fishing.) mainly football, basketball, baseball, hockey, motor-sports (NASCAR), I love cars, especially old German cars, I love playing paintball, poker, shooting pool, mountain biking, playing bags and watching movies.
I'm sure I could write more, but I think that about sums it up.

So, I'll jump in but pretty sure peeps know what I do based on my bitchen so much.
I am an old Sales Exec for a prototype manufacturing company. We make anything with shape that is steel or plastic. Hate it, but it's what I do.
Outside of that, married with (2) teenage girls and an older teenager I call my wife. Great family, so I don't know where I did the right thing there.
Love my cigars, Family, and my BOTL/SOTL's.

This is pretty cool, I'll get in on this as well I guess...
I am 27 and am an Operations Manager for a steel distribution company. We sell all grades and sizes of carbon steel mainly, anything from 1/4'' to about 12''. I graduated from Texas A&M a few years back and work completely outside the field I intended to and went to school for, but it pays the bills.
I have been married just a little over one year and just bought our first house. We have a Border Collie that is pretty much our kid for now, we are getting ready to start a family. I like working on cars and woodworking. Golf and all sorts of hunting and fishing are hobbies as well. I like having a good time and enjoy Texas Aggie Football! Love spending time with family and friends...

I was just prepping to write my intro thread (I'll get to it)
My husband and I own a cigar shop - so we do live cigars every day. Aside from that, we have two kids - with all the sports and extras that entails. My pre-store hobby was melting glass - I enjoy torches and big glass (I'd say Glory Holes, but around the shop that's just inviting trouble from jouvenile minds) I'd love to get back in that.
Previous lives have included owning a mail order specialty glass supply shop, a dog toy manufacturer and the mad world of Internet turned fully corperate for ten years.
It's nice to catch more pieces of everyone!
--I should mention I was an English major and I refuse to spell check this right now

Smoke Into Oblivion
I'm 23, and work in one of the highest volume retail pharmacies on the East coast as a compounding lab technician (I make raw solid drug and compound it into different formats, tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, suppositories, injections, etc.) about 50 or 60 hours a week. Other than that I am obsessed with film of all kinds (I have around 2800 films in various formats, DVD, 8mm, VHS, on flash drives, etc. currently in my possession), hardcore punk music, oh and I like to smoke cigars and drink liquor sometimes.
I am 22 in college for Manufacturing Engineering from Pennsylvania College of Technology.
I work a part time job at Sheetz during the school year and have an ongoing internship at a machine shop back home.
In my spare time I design parts to machine, scuba dive, camp, climb, hunt, go to the bar with friends. I consider myself an "outdoorsman" and love any time I can get outside.

I'm 23. I used to work at a cigar store in OKC. Now I work at a printing company called Quad Graphics. We specialize in printing magazines such as Time, People and S.I.
My hobbies are cigars, guns, knives, comic books, action figures, music and movies. I have recently taken up straight edge shaving. That will soon be a full hobby.

I've been here for awhile now, so I thought I'd share some information about myself.
I'm 31 which seems to actually be a little older than a lot of the crowd here. It seems I'm usually on the younger side of cigar forums, so it's pretty cool to see so many younger folks sharing in the enjoyment of the leaf!
I'm a licensed Professional Engineer in Texas, but currently trade options full time and work on the financial side of life for my firm. My wife and I have been living in Dallas for about a year and a half now after spending most of my life in Houston and Austin (while I was at UT, Hook 'Em!).
When I'm not working, I love to smoke cigars (obviously), play beach volleyball, play golf, watch football (Go Longhorns and Texans), and travel as much as possible.

I'm 33 and my occupation is commercial refrigeration and HVAC. I have a 14 month old daughter that's taking the majority of my spare time. My hobbies include my 1970 Camaro, hunting, and buying/selling vintage USA made tools.
Fun to read a small piece of what people do day to day. Good thread.
39 years old and I live in Orange County California, was born and for the most part raised here. I have a wife of 13 years and 2 beautiful 9 year old Twin daughters. Been a food broker for over 20 years. Beyond the 60 hours a week I spend in my office, I love fishing, bow hunting, and pretty much any activity that involves the ocean.

Hello brothers. What a small world Fireman Mike. I myself have been in Fire and EMS as a paramedic for the past 20 years. Its been a mostly good career choice.
