Dudes…
So after enjoying cigars for over 20 years & bugging these guys since ‘16, I am Tucson’s newest tobacconist! I start tomorrow @ 9am @ my local B&M.
I am a cook by trade after being in the I.T. Industry for 20+ years. I took a few years off to “find myself”. Got disillusioned by computers & making other people money. Hiked most of the Appalachian Trail & The Pacific Crest Trail. Lived in Moab in the back of my truck for a couple of months. When I rejoined society I got into to cooking which is something I always wanted to do professionally.
In the back of my mind though I always thought, what would be my dream job and working for a cigar shop just sounded like the perfect place for me. I’ve dedicated a lot of my life to cigars. This is truly a passion to me & what’s better than doing something professionally that you love. As a mentor of mine once said “the secret of happiness is not doing what one likes, but liking what one has to do”. I know I need a paycheck so what better place to finish my career than a cigar shop. I’m 55 now and will most likely retire here.
Anywho…didn’t mean to be so long winded but I wanted to share my joy with you all. Wish me luck guys, gonna be an interesting day!!
