Thanks to you Kelly, and the rest of the Team. There is no CA without you guys.

[Blak Smyth]

I wonder how many of the 1,533 posts I made on Feb 29th :r

Congrats to CA and the ToE, great site you have here.
Glad to be a part of it, and thanks for the opportunity to annoy people on a daily basis.

[GreekGodX]

Posts and counts aside, this place is home. I've met some of my closest friends here and a lot of people I hope to keep in my life. I first called many of you "cigar friends", now I consider you many of you a part of my family.

[shilala]

It's going real well. :tu

[PCR]

CA is THE place to be. Many thanks to the team. So much knowledge and fun in one place.

[Dave128]

Thanks to the ToE for making all of this possible!

[pnoon]

When we started this place almost 4 years ago, we thought we would be fortunate if a few hunderd folks joined. Needless to say, this place has fluorished beyond anything we expected. That, in large part, is due to the membership here. The feeling of community and family is not something that can be engineered. It has evolved into something truly special. Thanks to everyone for making CA a truly special place.

[LasciviousXXX]

Awesome! CA is an amazing place. I love knowing that no matter where I go in the world there is always a CA family member to meet up with and have a good time. It's like having a GIANT extended family :D

[massphatness]

Icehog3 has the highest post count?

That's MR. Icehog :D

No matter how many boards I join, this place will always be home.

[Ogre]

This is one AWESOME place. Its the only forum that I try to hit everyday. Thanks to the ToE and all the other smucks that I call my friends.

[EricF]

CA is the bestest cigar forum on the planet!!!! :noon

Thanks to the ToE!!! :tu

[jluck]

Thanks to all. Fire one up lets celebrate!:noon

[WittyUserName]

Screw Disney World, this is the best place on earth!!!

[ArgusP2]

what has been said and what has yet to be said!

CA has a special place in my heart for the obsession and the sense of family it engenders.

DUH. He's a total post whore, so is that other one.

:rolleyes:

;)

:r This is a classy board kept classy by people who care enough to foot the
bill and care enough to sort out the riff raff when they get riffraffy. SA-LUTE!
I am proud and humbled to still be allowed to participate here.

You are proud and humbled... We, the asylum, are shocked:r:r

[irratebass]

:l Thank you EVERYONE for making this place awesome!!!

[sikk50]

I've made life long friends here. I've learned so much more here than I could ever have at a b&m. I found a home here when CS died, thanks to some sneaky blog posts.


All of this is bc 11 people didn't want to see then end of a tight nitt community. We are all in debt to you. Thank you

[Whee]

This really is the best part and probably the hardest to explain to people. No matter where we go, we can make a post and have dinner and a cigar with someone we've never met in person, but are old friends with nonetheless.

And with all the large herfs, we have more and more opportunities to meet those people face to face.:D

[IBQTEE1]

Very cool post Kelly. I am glad that I joined this group of fabulous cigar smokers. I have met some lifelong friend. Hats off to the ToE.

[Steve]

:tu:tu:banger

[Silound]

I"ll drink to this!

[drevim]

Thanks to the 11 for taking a stand and deciding to create a new home for us.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 4 years (3 months short, I believe). This place has created some of the best friendships I have.

[68TriShield]

That's heavy man...

[NeuRon]

staggering numbers indeed!

props to the fellow members and admins of the best cigar website on the internet.. w00t

[kaisersozei]

Thanks to the ToE & the members for making this a great place. It spoils you for other boards--have not found any forum on any topic that is this hospitable, inviting or brotherly. WTG B/SOTL!

Yep, this is very true. It makes me a little sad to see so many other cigar BB's either go by the wayside, or lose so many members that nobody posting at those places ever gets together anymore, or whatever. This is one of the few left that has actual traffic, and this goes way beyond just sitting in my chair at home and posting on the Internet....I've had a blast at the herfs posted about here...Mike's (357's)Metamora Herfs are always worth going to, and I've met a lot of great people because of Cigar Asylum.

[MarkinAZ]

:tuBig props to everyone for making the Asylum what it is today.:tu

Hey, no problem Kelly. What I want to know is, what in the heck happened to the laundry service on Thursdays? The dirty clothes are piling up in my room! Oh sure, sounds like I need to see the Chaplin huh?;)

:banger :tu And that's what this BOTL thing is all about, Christos.

[maninblack]

Never been a part of such a great community of people. Learned so much here and I blame all of you crazy people for my ride down the slippery slope!! I love this place! Thank you ToE!!

[markem]

and to think that we have John C. to thank for all this ;)

it is true, just not pleasant.

[G G]

Awesome in all respects.

[Jasonw560]

I feel like I could say, "Hey, I'll be in (city)" and there'd be someone there to hang out with while I'm there, although I've never met any of you (yet).

The answer to the riddle, "What happens when a pufferfish stubs his ToE?"

As a wise man (Da Klugs) once said, the ToE just provided the canvas...the rest of you painted the picture. :)

[jledou]

February 29, 2012 my MIL lost her battle with Cancer - funny how dates picked by someone means something different to others. The help in the way of great discussion/jokes/banter/etc that no one here new they provided on the days leading up to that and since then truly make this the special place it is.
Thanks to everyone for making this a great community.

[Steve]

Perodically I travel for work. Earlier in my career I did a lot of traveling, so now that I am older it does not excite me that much to be away from my family. The one thing that I do enjoy about it though is that I get to meet p with my B/SOTL when I do.

Much appreciation to you, Kelly, and the rest of the Team of Eleven!

I found the old place in Oct. 2006... and I am grateful for the opportunity I got to be here at Cigar Asylum from day one. The word that has been used repeatedly is "family," and I am grateful for the family I have found here.

It is gratifying to see that CA isn't just surviving, but going strong! This is the best forum, because we have the best mods. You guys rock.

[Drez]

i am glad and blessed that i was directed to this site and to this day CA is my "happy place"

a very big thank you to the ToE but also to all the members on here. be safe my brothers and lets keep this place growing!!!!

Well said Christos. For this reason I'm very grateful for the ToE.
