Default To the 11 with thanks

Absolutely!

We are fortunate indeed to have so many selfless and talented leaders. You should be proud of what you have crafted here in such a short time.

I'll have to agree. CA has quickly become the #1 cigar site in my eyes.

Hear, hear, SF, and humble thanks to the 11. The speed at which this site has taken off is the greatest testament to their work.

Well said, Kel.

I am deeply moved by the incredible support and kind words Cigar Asylum has received in our first week of existence. But without the general membership, the forum doesn't exist. Thanks to all who are a part of something truly special.

It's really amazing to me that our mods could even put this together in the short amount of time they had to work with. I can barely fathom the amount of work that went into this. The site already feels like home, and the esprit de corps that's developed in a week is great.

It's just hard to thank these 11 guys enough.

It pains me when I have to agree with the old Hairball. However, this time he is spot on.

Thank you, each and everyone of you.

but no general membership without a forum. This is no "chicken or egg" question, there had to be a forum before general membership could excist, and you guys, the group of 11, made it possible,

SF, that's a wonderful Kipling quote. Thank you for posting it. And thanks to everyone who's making this place home.

Without y'all, it'd just be the eleven of us sitting around talking to each other.
