Vince was born and raised in New Jersey. During the summers, he would work with his dad painting inside of skyscrapers in Jersey City. During those work days, he would watch his father light up and enjoy many cigars. After graduating high school, Vince joined the marine corps and was stationed at Camp Pendleton; he has been in California ever since. During his time in the marines, he enjoyed the nostalgia of smoking cigars and has been an avid smoker for over 20 years. He looks forward to interacting and sharing the passion of cigars with all of the patrons here at Boyd's Tobacco!

Kenny was born and raised in “The OC” in Southern California but has lived all over California as an adult. When he was growing up, he would enjoy hanging out with his grandpa on a porch in rural Oklahoma, who would spin stories of the old days while enjoying a stick. His love of cigars matured while living in Nashville, TN where he lived for three years where he would frequent local cigar lounges that he dubbed his “second office”. When not at the lounge, Kenny works for a local church where he is a Family Pastor providing fun and insight to kids and youth of Paso. Kenny has been married to his beautiful bride since 1994 and they have 6 kids and 4 grandkids. In his spare time he loves to spend time with his family, watch movies and explore pairing cigars with bourbon and the many wines of Paso Robles.
