Thank you
 

I'd just like to take a second to thank Peter and Tom, to thank Dave, Julian, James, to thank Gerry, Dave and Mo as well as Frank and Týr.

I have seen many cigar boards out there but none of them were as comfortable to me as the Cigar Asylum.

The Asylum fits me like a glove, I have made many many friends here, I have met dozens of people from around the country, hell around the world because of this board, friendships that I'm sure will last a lifetime, I have learned more about cigars here that even I can believe and that's only scratching the surface, looking at other sites you find that real information is scarce, most of the time what you find are fishers, beggars, people trying to one up each other and drama, things you don't find here and good riddance.

I'd just like to thank not only those people above but all of you that are here, that make this place more than just a cigar board, people here supply such a wealth of information, always willing to answer questions and help out, and are not only some of the most generous people I have ever met, it's a community of people that actually give a damn about each other.

I think we all take Peter and Tom for granted at times, it's easy to do to be honest, but when you really think about it this is a two man operation for the most part and the fact that we can take them for granted is actually proof at what a great job they do keeping our community up and running and drama free.

So thank you Tom and Peter and I'd like to thank all of the other inmates here, for your humor, wisdom. generosity caring and compassion. My life has been made better by the Cigar Asylum and that's no joke.

Oh and Scott take your pills!

Wow, you are a girl :r

I kid, I love this place and you nailed it bro :tu

Re: Thank you
 

Here, here. This is my go to place for cigars and I love it. I have learned about many things here in addition to cigars; learned how to roast coffee, received great advice on where to go while travelling, technology advice and many other educational pursuits. Nice message.

Re: Thank you
 

I can probably speak for Peter too when I say 99% of the time it's a labor of love, Adam. I count you among the scores of lifelong friends I have made here too.

I like the way Dave K. said it best, we provide the canvas, y'all pain the picture. OK, Dave would never say "y'all", but that's the way I heard it. :D

Re: Thank you
 

P.S....don't forget Kelly. ;)

Re: Thank you
 

Like most toes, we don't spend a lot of time thinking about how critical they are to moving forward, but the ToE is da bomb!

Re: Thank you
 

Thanks, Adam. It means a lot to hear you (or anyone else) say what you did.
You're right, Tom.
Back in 2005, I cut my teeth on Club Stogie. As a noob, I was treated wonderfully by the FOGs. Becoming a moderator there and ultimately one of the ToE here is my way of giving back to the cigar community. By providing the "canvas", others can reap the rewards I have enjoyed over the last 10 years.

Re: Thank you
 

Thanks to all the ToEs!

Re: Thank you
 

Always nice to recognize those that make this possible....

Thanks, ToE! Well said, Adam.

Re: Thank you
 

Thanks, TOE, & Thanks, Adam, For Bringing This Up!:D:tu

Re: Thank you
 

I do confess and checking out other online forums (fora?) - including a Canadian one.
I always come back to the asylum
We are for the most part free of a-holes, and a friendly generous bunch.

This is the place I call home on the cigar web. Y'all make that happen.

Re: Thank you
 

Here here :tu and thanks to the Team of 11 :)

Re: Thank you
 

Thank you, ToE, for all that you do to make this a fun and informative place to hang out.

Re: Thank you
 

:tu

That Adam is great at reviews!

Re: Thank you
 

I blame you, I copied your sig line and then added you and Peter, but I screwed up because of *mumbles something* so clearly it's your fault.

First time I met Kelly was at SoCal three years ago, I only knew a few guys there and was a bit shell shocked and unsure since I was so new, Kelly sat down next to me and just started talking to me, talked for about 20 minutes till he had to get up and mingle. He made me feel right at home, such a great guy.

Re: Thank you
 

That's a fact, Jack. :D

Re: Thank you
 

You can't go wrong with Joker from Westminster!

Re: Thank you
 

Check.
Pills in.
Peter, tell Adam to stop touching me.

Re: Thank you
 

Adam, stop touching Scott.







Don't make me stop this car. :sl

Re: Thank you
 

Don't tell me what to do you're not my real dad!

Re: Thank you
 

Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked,

Re: Thank you
 

Yep. Adam is a wise dude. TOE is superb for creating and maintaining this best-in-class forum. Mucho appreciation for the regular contributors for keeping things interesting and special thanks go to the gents that work hard to provide support for our troops! :tu

Re: Thank you
 

Hmm do I give my hones opinion or the PC version?

OK honest it is. I agree thanks are in order to those that started and keep this joint afloat. Do some think you are A**holes? Yep. I am sure a lot more think I am. So the real truth of the matter is you guys dont have to keep this place open but you do. So thanks for giving me a place to speak with and learn from other enthusiastic a**holes. Hopefully this cigar home away from home will be here for a long time to come.

Re: Thank you
 

Some guys think we are a$$holes? Oh, yeah...those guys are a$$holes. :lr

Re: Thank you
 

Sir I believe the term you meant to use is "Ashhole"

Re: Thank you
 

Absolutely not. ;)

Re: Thank you
 

Thanks guys. I came into this thing completely ignorant of cigars and for the most part I still am but now I have a full cooler and an empty wallet so thanks for that... I think. :r You guys have given me a wealth of knowledge and for that I cannot thank you guys enough.:banger:banger
