Feels ironic seeing this again, stuff like this just happened with the other forum site I'm on.

It was a lot uglier and just ... real nasty all over, still not done though.

All breaks down members make a site. Not that I ever had problems on the other site, this site has a lot warmer feel, as I'm getting to know everyone more I feel more welcome and equal here .

Correct me if I'm wrong but if this is just getting off the ground, what is with this claim.... Quote from the website of puff.com

"We are the largest online cigar network on the internet with over 50,000 unique visitors per day (Google Analytics)."

"Like the perfect cigar, the smoker’s lifestyle is a rich and well-blended mixture of the all the finest ingredients. At Puff Lifestyle, we discuss the finer things in life: the most luxurious hotels, the finest wines, 5-star dining, the hottest wheels, insane watches, really cool lighters, hand carved cedar humidors, and of course – the best cigars.

What the f**k...

I only plan on doing 2 things at a hotel: sleeping and humping. Luxury? Why.

5 star dining to me is a steak that I grill on my balcony and enjoy while watching The Simpsons.

BAH...I could go on and on but I won't. Why bother.


And I still maintain that Caputo should have done a little more research on the term "puff lifestyle"...the Brits here at CA know what I mean!

Quite the change from Club Stogies old no snob policy. It's sad to see but i'm honestly over it. Was kinda hard at first but now just about everyone I knew and had met at CS over the last three years came over here. I haven't been back there in some time.

If they had done *ANY* research about CS before they bought the site, it would have been clear that CS was *NOT* about any of this elitist BS. Thanks Team of 11 from saving us from a-holes like this!

I was only on CS for a couple of months before the announcement. I still check in over there a time or two a day. That being said... I feel for all of my friends/brothers/sisters here who had much invested in CS. I truly appreciate what we have here, but I also know that there are many of you who just cannot stomach even a visit.

can tell you though... the look of the new site is not me at all.

Kinda freaky huh? Since we will never agree on college football I guess it's nice that we can agree on other things.

Seems awfully cluttered on the front page. But it's new, so maybe it'll get cleaned up. Kinda leans to the Afficionado Lite direction doesn't it?

There's like 13 ad's plus "content ads" on the homepage.

It's cigarlive renamed PUff with the CS post content to be rolled in.

Don't think I' gonna be frequenting that spot anymore. Looks like a bunch of garbage to me. But I'll give it a fair shot.
