I'm an old fart as well. 45 years old maried to a wonderful woman for 14 years. No kids, two cats.
I worked in advertising for almost 8 years, a little company called Leo Burnett. My clients were: Phillip Morris (those guys got me into cigars), GM, United Airlines and Kraft. I made some good bucks and got out as soon as I was vested...had to stop working 80 hours + a week.
I took some time off and traveled Central American where I made a buch of friends...that's when I thought it would be a good idea to get into the cigar biz. Had small factories in Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica, then went into partnership with a large factory in the Dominican Republic where we were producing cigars for Spain. The cigar business kept me reaaly busy as I was traveling 180 days a year out of the country...I did that for almost four years. I made some good money and as I was about to get out I got into coffee.
When I traveled I would be in 4-5 countries every month, so I'd grab two bottles of rum from each one. To keep them from breaking I would pack 1/2 kilos of fresh coffee beans between the bottles...see what happens when you drink alot of rum!
Because of the contacts that I made over the years I was able to negotiate some wonderful deals for green beans...I've been into coffee for just over three years with dozens of containers of greenies just waiting to meet Mr Roaster!
The business has been growning almost fast I can have a hard time keeping up with it. I've found my passion and I'm sure I'll be at it for as long as people drink coffee.
We bought a jumbo brick 3-flat apartment building two years ago (we're the third owners since 1920) and I've been spending my free time (ya right) working on it. Gutting the first floor last year, 1,400 sq ft, new bath, kitchen, new 3/4" oak floors, all new electrical and some plumming. Did the third floor last year. Now there's only our floor (the second floor) to do...oh boy, I can't wait!
So the long and short is I really enjoy cigars, coffee rum and my wife...the order changes every couple of days...check your local listings.
Damned glad to be over here, although you'll find me at several other boards as well!
Next!
The wife enjoys the occasional cigar with me as well. I'm a big fan of knifes, pistols, shotguns and riffles, although cigars have taken priority now and guns have been pushed back. I also enjoy video games, usually playing halo2 very late at night. If anybody is up for a whooping pm me with your nametag and I will give it to you
