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!!

Which shpo? I'm in Scottsdale and we will be spending a few days in Tucson soon and I may drop by and say hi.

Stop by, love to meet you! I’ll be the only one there so you won’t miss me 😉

Do you get to smoke on the job?

They carry most of my favorite stuff so I’ll for sure be smoking a couple a day @ least.

Also, will you be running a specialized 50% off sale for any customer named Al starting May 2nd?

SOB, of course you all qualify for the F&F discount…in store only ;)

The 50% discount though? Sadly that only applies to people named Brian…lol

Sell some pot in the front and in the secret back room, sell cigars. Kinda like a reverse speakeasy.

NINE!

Ahh, the life of Brian!

Congrats on the dream job JHH / Brian! =d>

But, you are one of a very few Cbid peeps to actually do it.

Hope it works out well!

my dream job would be judging which centerfold-worthy female is the most skilled at oral sex, while testing mattresses...been checking the want-ads for decades...

Don’t give up, don’t ever give up! 🌫

Ha, I lived two blocks away from there for about ten years! Congrats on the job, looks like an awesome spot. I wish that shpo was there when I lived there...

Smoked 3 killers cigars and did very well sales wise. Made some nice $ tips wise and seemed everyone liked my recommendations.

Will be back at it tomorrow but time for a little sleep. Thanks again everyone!

I’m sorry, but this sounds too much like TW… 🤔
