BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
What do you do and what else do you do?

As I get older (now 56) I realize how fortunate I've been not to be seriously ill, disabled, or dead. Ciggy, I'm glad to see you've made it through and are able to be with us here. Hope you stay well.
I'm Chris, and I clean pools out here in beautiful Southern California. I recently joined the Army,and I'm currently waiting to ship out to basic training. I am new to cigars,as I just turned 18 earlier this year. I've smoke a few different types,and my favorite one so far is the Ashton Corona. I'm hoping to try a Diamond Crown Maximus pretty soon.

that is about it

What do I do.. Alittle bit of everything it seems like. After Spending 6 years as a M1A1 Crewman in the Army, I left the service and started a job as Tier 1 tech support many many years ago... Worked my way up thru the ranks and I am Currently a Director of Operations for 3 Companies (There all in 1 building actually).
Outside of work (when it permits) I have a wife and a (almost) 4 year old that keeps me on my toes. Besides spending time with them I game some on a Xbox 360 and Like Cigars with a glass of Disaronno Amaretto. (Champagne tastes on a Beer budget)

I am currently serving in the Tennessee Army National Guard and stationed in Iraq. I am a computer geek by trade. When I get home I am planning to return to the networking business. Started smoking cigars when I arrived in Iraq and it has turned into an amazing hobby.
Middle-aged advertising/marketing guy. Live in a beautiful place with no jobs, so I commute 170 miles a day, four days a week. Lived in NY for 20 years and try to get back as often as possible. Have the most wonderful wife imaginable. Spend far more money on this filthy habit than is reasonable or rational. Find the experience of smoking a great cigar a form of meditation, therapy and relaxation, and have done so for 20+ years. Just set a personal record for consecutive non-sequiturs.
Joined the navy out of high school and rif'd out in 1993. Did my electrical apprenticeship in Roanoke VA. I too briefly worked at HSN unloading trucks for about 3 weeks until I was hired on with a contractor. I now call Philadelphia home for about 15 years now. I am an Electrical foreman specializing in large fire alarm installations as well as low voltage applications. Time is not something I have a lot of. I also have a two month old girl sleeping upstairs right now. I enjoy a cigar usually while commuting. I fine beverage paired with a fine cigar is always a celebration. I am able to sit back and ponder my luck in life. I used to jump from hobby to hobby but they all seemed too much like work. I now dabble with the computers a bit. Fix broken shit and smoke a stogie any chance I can get.
Peace fellow brothers

Smokin' in Iraq
Medical (Gastrointestinal) Tech deployed to Iraq with the Texas Guard as a medic. We have a great little cigar club on my Camp, and a large and more established one on the other side of the base complex. I'm a science fiction fan and a history buff, focusing on military aspects of both. I'm a competition shooter who hasn't gotten to compete in awhile. Rabid computer gamer, mostly shooters but I do enjoy some of the RTS simulation games.

I'm a lawyer doing mostly real estate, environmental and local government work.
Too many hobbies. Besides smoking cigars I like to play golf, bass fish, ride dirt bikes and shoot pistols with the local IDPA group. Lots of opportunities to bond with the kids and have fun...
The picture is my buddy Mack... best dog I ever had.

I'm 29, and a nightclub DJ by trade.
Done a bunch of construction and legal work in my life but right now I just record music, DJ, and do remixes for rock bands.
I live in Atlanta GA, and sometimes travel to other cities, usually to play records in dark rooms.
When not doing that I sleep and enjoy fly fishing, amateur securities trading, philosophy, and wine.

I am new here as of....2 minutes ago?
But I liked the question, and wanted to reply.
I am a Pharmacy Doctorate student and musician. I was a graphic designer and flash programmer some time back, but I was becoming irritated with slow sales and finicky customers.
As for how I afford to purchase cigars, amongst other things..largely student loans and grants with odd jobs on the side bringing in additional spending money.
I have to live a little bit on the humble side, but that is something I am used to. But regardless of how little or how much you make, if you find something that relaxes you and lets off steam (lighting a cigar and enjoying a drink) you can find the extra cash to spoil yourself when you need, lol.

I am married to the best woman ever.
I am a teacher, motorcyclist, American Civil War reenactor
I enjoy reading, writing, drawing (Doodling in most cases,) and video games
I enjoy going places and doing things with my wife, including shopping (most of the time)
I love Jim Beam, but drink cranberry juice with my cigars.
My wife and I live in a place that's not where we're from and we hate it here, and we are fervently praying that we can move back home.

Way cool thread. Am 39 & married to my high scool sweetheart for 21 years. Have 4 great kids (20,18,10,8) and live in a place I love(NC). Born and raised in Montana went into the Marine Corps for 5 years as a Jet mechanic and then caught a lucky break in the equipment busines when I got out. Started out sweeping floors and 12 years later I run operation for 14 loacations in the Mid-Atlantic and have earned an MBA from the Scool of Hard Knocks. I love smoking and hoarding cigars and I love talking to people who share the same interest. Life is tough and the economy sucks but things could be a whole lot worse.

Learning from the best
Welcome Richard! Post an intro here and tell us a little about yourself: [ame="http://www.botl.org/community/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23"]Introductions - BOTL Cigar Forums - Brothers of the Leaf[/ame]
Name: Jason B
I'm 31 years old. I own/operate a marina at a very large lake in OK(lake eufaula). It involves 100 boats slips, resturant, marine shop, fishing supplies shop, 3000 square foot indoor fishing dock(for winter), gas dock. From flopping boats to fishing tournaments to doing taxes to being janitor to spending hours on the phone to managing a few crews to rescue towing for the highway patrol to being a dockstar, it's all in a days work I guess.
Photography was my degree, still a passionate hobby. Love to travel, cycle, go to shows. I read all of the time when I'm not doing anything.
While quiet online, I'm very outgoing in person. Usually the loudest person amongst a large crowd. My sense of humor is often misunderstood and outrageous to some, I'm no stranger to those I meet.
While I enjoy to kick back and relax with a cigar, I do it very little. My favorite time to smoke is while driving. I drive an hour to the nearest city several times a week. That is the only me time I enjoy.
