Jonas was meeting with Bull and Fergus to see how things were coming together. He told them about Arnault, which they were all excited about. Having financial backing for future expansion was great. However, that meant they needed to get things moving quickly toward opening. Every once in a while, Jonas noticed Bull making googly eyes at Fergus like a teenager in love until he could no longer take it. “What the hell is going on between you two?”, Jonas asked. Fergus looked at Bull and said, “Well, should we tell him?”
While the bosses were all behind closed doors sorting things out, Ollie was trying out a new bartender. This dude, Jace, was already hot as hell and would fit in well with the aesthetic of the club as is - but he needed a few enhancements. Ollie challenged Jace to make him a few different drinks, which he did efficiently and with a smirk. “Come on boss,” he said, “give me a challenge!”
With that, Ollie pulled out a long and thick cigar. “Here, boy,” he said, “my challenge is for you to smoke this down while you make me the next set of drinks I order. I need to see you can do that and stay as sexy as you are.” “Whoa, man,” Jace said, “first off - I’m not gay and second - I’m not going to smoke that thing.” “Well, since you’re going to be working here, you don’t have to be gay - but it helps since you’re going to be getting all kinds of offers for tips,” Ollie said, “and the cigar is not an option.”
Ollie lit the cigar, allowing the smoke to start filling the space between himself and Jace. Jace was looking down and started wiping up the counter like the professional bartender he is. “I think I’m going to leave now,” he said while he started breathing in the smoke. “Naw, man,” Ollie said in his beachy, Australian surfer way, “You’ve got the job, but we need to work on that attitude. I wasn’t going to change you much, but now we have a lot to do. Just relax and do as I say.”
As the bartender began to succumb to the smoke, Ollie took the cigar from his mouth and planted it in Jace’s mouth. As he started to pull on the cigar, his skin took a slightly deeper tone. Ollie said he missed hanging out with his friends from New Zealand, especially his Maori friends. He always loved how buff they were. Jace started shifting as he gained body mass and height. His cotton t-shirt turned to tight, black rubber that showed off his beautiful pecs and shoulders, while his jeans became leather pants.
Ollie pulled a Muir cap out and placed it on the new man’s head. “Thank you, brother,” the new man said in an accent that might not have sounded much different than his own to many, but to him it was distinctly from New Zealand. The man’s features started to become distinctly Polynesian, almost looking slightly like The Rock without the tattoos. Ollie was already holding his crotch thinking how much he was going to enjoy having him around.
“Maaka, how do you feel?”, Ollie asked. The new Maaka said, “Awesome, mate. Glad to be working here and have a new bud. What do you say that we celebrate a bit? I can give you a personal haka dance and show you what my massive tongue can do!” With that, he removed his cigar and stuck out his tongue. Ollie swooned, saying, “I thought you’d never ask mate. I’m cruising for a bruising.” As they started heading to the storage room, Maaka’s tribal tattoos started coming in on his arms and neck as Ollie grabbed his ass.
Back in the office, Jonas was listening intently to Bull as he said that he and Fergus had decided to start seeing each other exclusively. Jonas was happy for them, but worried that this situation might impact the long-term success of the bar. Sure, he expected they might eventually couple up, but it was never his intention for his boys to fall in “love”. They needed to at least be open enough to make sure the customers and investors were happy. He wanted nothing in the way of success. If someone came in and wanted either one of them, he was willing to sell them off for the sake of the business and his long-term plans. This is a potential problem he would need to solve.
A few seconds later, there was a knock at the door. It was Afonso, the Brazilian Social Media Manager, who said he had some people here that they needed to see. Explaining that he’d found some guys to help fill some of their open positions, Jonas grabbed Bull and sent Afonso with Fergus.
As Jonas and Bull approached the two guys, they were less than impressed. They were a couple of skinny looking early 20 somethings who probably woke up 15 minutes ago. “I could break them or throw them out,” Bull said, “or better yet, break them AND throw them out.” Jonas chuckled saying, “There will be no need for that. We can make due.”
“So, boys,” Jonas said, “What brings you in here today?” “I’m Brian and this is Trevor,” the taller of the two said, “We’re in the business fraternity over at the University.” “Yeah, we saw a post that you might be looking for interns to help with your new club,” Trevor said. Jonas asked, “What are your majors?” “Well, mine is business with an emphasis on accounting,” Brian said, “and Trevor’s is pre-law with an emphasis on international business.” Jonas licked his lips and looked at Bull. “Well boys, this is your lucky day!”, he said, “you are exactly what we need. How about we go talk about it over cigars on the patio?” “Hell yeah, dude!”, Trevor said and high fived Brian. Bull rolled his eyes, as they all started walking out back.
As Afonso and Fergus walked to the other side of the club, there was a young man sitting in one of the comfy chairs in the cigar bar area. “What’s he here for? Bar back?”, Fergus asked. “No, Sir,” Afonso replied, “he told me he is a young cigar aficionado. I was scouting online and he knew a lot.” “Really?”, Fergus said, “I would have never expected that.” With that, they approached the young man.
“Ryan, this is Fergus, our General Manager,” Afonso said. The boy stood up and gave Fergus a good, solid handshake, then said, “Pleasure to meet you, Sir. This is a great place.” “Thank you, boy,” Fergus said, “Afonso tells me you’re into cigars?” “Oh yes, I love them,” Ryan said, “my father and grandfather were both tobacconists and I was raised around their business. I am pretty good at helping match people with cigars based on their individual interests and tastes.” “So you don’t want to work with your family?”, Fergus asked. “Well, Sir,” Ryan said, “Sadly, my father lost the business a few years back and passed away unexpectedly. I guess it’s how I keep their memory alive.”
“Well, son,” Fergus said, “I think we can help you out. I’m glad you came in today. How about you come over to the humidor with me and show me some of your recommendations?” As Ryan approached the large walk-in humidor Jonas recently installed, Fergus turned to Afonso and said, “Watch and learn.” Ryan pulled out a few different options and explained them perfectly to Fergus. “You are good,” he said, “why don’t we sit down and relax for a while and talk about your future here.” Fergus pulled out 3 special cigars and handed them out.
After their time on the patio, the new and improved Brian plopped down in his office with a thick cigar that matched his also new and improved cock. Raised in an affluent family in Geneva, Switzerland, he was educated in the best boys schools in Europe. That’s where he learned to use his influence and money to dominate the other boys.
He may dress like an Executive, but underneath is a leather jock strap and harness he is ready to expose at a moment’s notice. After University, he went back to Geneva to learn all about Swiss and off-shore accounts. No one will find the money he’s hiding for Jonas…unless it’s the part that he is skimming off the top to put down strippers’ and escorts’ g-strings. Noah was ready to get to work in all senses of the word! Being fluent in English, German, French, and Italian didn’t hurt his chances, either.
Since Jonas took the lead on the new Noah, he wasn’t paying a lot of attention to Bull as he took control of Trevor. By the time he turned around, Bull had already packed about 50 pounds of muscle on Trevor’s frame and he was looking like an off season bodybuilder. “We don’t need another bouncer!”, Jonas asserted. “Sorry, Boss,” Bull said, “you know I like my men beefy!”
From there, Jonas planted the backstory that Trevor was now Felix, born and raised in Montreal, Canada. As a French-Canadian, he would be able to relate and communicate with both Noah and Arnault, while making the men swoon with his accent. Growing up in a family of lumberjack ancestry, he liked to keep himself fit through functional fitness and a few cycles of steroids a year.
Felix eventually moved to the States, where he went to law school and got his MBA focused on International Business. He is a no nonsense attorney that will keep the greasiest rat out of prison and threaten to litigate “the shit out of you” if you go after his clients. He looked threatening with his Armani suits and ever present cigars, but is a total bottom in the bedroom. “I think I like how this one turned out,” Bull said. Jonas smiled an acknowledging smirk around the stogie planted in his jaw.
Back in the cigar bar, Afonso was basically drooling after seeing Fergus do his work. Afonso had not experienced someone else change and had not been formally trained in the process. His cock was tenting in his pants and he had to keep smoking his own cigar and manage his breathing as he observed the process, taking mental notes the entire time.
Since he was already handsome and so compliant, basically begging to restart his life and help others enjoy their lives as cigar men, Fergus decided only to enhance what Ryan already brought to the table. Rather than turning him into an older gentleman or scary biker, he decided Ryan would be more of a client’s best friend leading them toward a life of addiction and coming back for more. He would be everyone’s best buddy - a true social chameleon.
Central American, born and raised in Honduras, Maynor grew up in a cigar making family and knew everything about growing tobacco. From the right soil and moisture to hand-rolling, he is a wealth of knowledge and didn’t mind taking the time to make sure others knew exactly what they were choosing. With his muscles and tattoos, others would swoon when he batted his eyes, but he could fit in on any night at the club. As he finished his original cigar, he expertly lit a second while also saying to Afonso in Spanish, “Hey amante. Te ves muy sexy. ¿Quieres tomar una copa y conocerse mejor?”
Afonso creamed his pants right there! Embarrassed, but emboldened, he said “¡Totalmente! Déjame cambiar primero.” With that, he ran off to find a new pair of pants. Fergus laughed out loud while Maynor chuckled and took a long haul on his cigar. After exhaling, Maynor said, “I think I’m going to love it here!”
