Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/index.php)

- General Discussion (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=48)

- - Brotherhood (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=9629)

We found each other in our quest for cigar knowledge. Pretty cool. Information and knowledge we could never hope to gain by ourselves. This sharing creates the bonds of brotherhood. (Sisterhood as well) Cigars are our common bond but much more than cigars take place here.. We are all very different people with very different lives. Respecting each others uniqueness while sharing ourselves beyond cigars here is the true test of Brotherhood.

Brotherhood means feeling bad occasionally when we “go to far”. Those with the right spirit make amen’s in their own way and we move on. Brotherhood means not always saying what you would like to say due to a concern for others. Brotherhood is giving of ourselves without expectation of gain but because it benefits others or the community.

Cigar Asylum has become one of, if not, the most active cigar board on the INTERNET. Amazing amounts of interaction take place here in a relatively friction free environment. Speaking as one of the janitors, it’s a pleasure being among-st such a civil group of inmates (semi sane adults). When things come up they get dealt with mostly by the community. When a Admin has to do something it’s normally associated with a new person not understanding our lil pleasant place or a commercial troller.

However, conflict is inevitable. People have strong views on many things. The pot boils and we all say things we wish we hadn’t. When it happens, step back take a deep breath and maybe smoke a good one. Things pass. Growing pains and community evolution is inevitable and necessary. The cigar board world has changed much in the past few months. Some may long for the past. Some have dropped off the grid. Many have joined us here to continue the legacy of our friendship and interaction. CA and the community it hosts, is what it is. Which in my opinion is…..

A special place, thanks to everyone who makes it so.

Well said as always.

Happy to be a part and thanks for all the sharing and fun :)

Ut oh....... I'm getting that fuzzy feeling again. :ss

Nice observation and post Dave!

When things get confusing, we can always count on Dave to put things into perspective.

Honored to call you "friend". I am also honored to call the other 1800+ of you all "freinds". :)

This is exactly why I decided to join here. As I spent many months lurking and reading many of the forums, this place just seemed to stand apart from the other boards. Obviously, it is the people that make that happen. Of course now that I am here, I'll do my best not to screw it up.:ss

You do know how to turn a phrase, don't you, Dave!

You articulate well what I believe most of us desire for this forum. There are other places we could be, but most of us choose to be here for just the reasons you enumerated.

Here's to the continued growth and development of the finest cigar forum on the 'net... IMHO. :ss
