1 from Kansas City checking in

[jsnake]

Hey guys, I am Jake from Kansas City, Missouri. Looking around here I know a few members from other forums or social networking sites. Someone mentioned the forums here the other day and I have never visited so I figured it was time to check it out.

I am an independent cigar rep for 262 Cigars and will be most likely adding 2 or 3 more boutique brands to my portfolio very soon. Don't want to say who until things are finalized. I also work for a railroad which pays the bills and insurance. I hope someday to work in the cigar industry full time.

I also enjoy reviewing cigars and have my own blog which I won't post yet because I still need to read the rules for the forums.

My wife is a Registered Vet Tech and animal lover. We breed Ball Python morphs and currently have Pastel Het Albino, Bumblebee, Mojave, Pinstripe, and Spider.

My other hobbies include Xbox 360 and I like Invicta watches. Spend all of my free time doing cigar stuff and things with the family.

Hi Jake - Great Intro!

Welcome to StogieChat - you will like it here, we are like a family!

I have not hat the 262, but have heard a lot about them around the blogosphere. Best of luck on adding some more brands - there are a lot of new and unique botiques comig out now that have a lot to offer.

What else do you like to smoke?

As for your blog - please let us know what it is - I know that there are several here that enjoy reading cigar reviews. I actually recently started a podcast that is still in its infnacy - www.cigarsnapshot.com

You can always post updates in the review section when you post new reviews as well and point us to your blog.

I think I may have seen your handle around some other forums?

And if you are a watch guy, you will definitely fit in - there are several of us here, and even a couple of Invicta nuts...

A pleasure to have you! Please do not mention watches as we are currently working on a group intervention on Skipper and a few others

I have 4 really nice Invicta watches:
Sea Spider Limited Edition Combat all black
Russian Diver Quinotaur Chronograph Blue & Silver
Corduba Collection GMT Black & Gold
Sub Aqua Noma III Silver

I am happy with them and choose them because they are more affordable. I like others but most of what I like is way over $1000 and that isn't in my budget.

I am a Viaje Whore. I buy, sell, trade, and will give a kidney for Vaije Cigars. I curse whoever gave me my first one. I also really enjoy anything by Tatuaje and illusione.

My blog is www.cigarcatadore.blogspot.com and I will link the forums here up for sure.
