I, too, like seeing Louie sitting with us and enjoying a peaceful, serene smoke as the sun slowly sets in the west with a bronze hue and no puffy clouds.:ss

VIVA CIGAR ASYLUM!!!!

Just got a PM saying they won't delete my account. :confused:

Maybe I can get myself banned! :r

of course they cant, they need that big "active members" number (statistic) to increase advertising ability.

market share
Bottom line
The "anti sell" sell

We can make you anonymous by changing your username. We don't delete accounts.

My response

Quote:

Thanks...but here's the deal. I kicked back, kept my mouth shut for the most part, and gave Puff a chance. After looking over the site a bit, I decided that I do not like the changes, do not like the direction the community has taken, and I do not want any part of it. I don't stay at the most luxurious hotels, drink the finest wines, eat at 5 star restaurants, or any of the other bling bling rich boy type bullshit that the site seems to be promoting now. Please delete my account or ban me. Thank you.

I'm done posting about CS, just throwing this out there FWIW. :(

Re: It's happening

I think the "bling-bling" is the advertisers they want, not the members. JC only needs to build up the perception of the image. LOL!

Re: It's happening

Just some interesting reading I was doing tonight.

Cigar Aficionado Online:

"We will tailor the proposal based on advertiser goals and objectives.
Our minimum buy is $5,000 net per month.
CigarAficionado.com is open to “out of the box” ideas and will create packages that suit the needs of our clients."

http://www.mshanken.com/cigaraficion...OMedia_KIT.pdf

The Magazine (unfortunately the rate card is not published):

http://www.mshanken.com/cigaraficionado/

Check out the Sample of Advertisers in Key Categories - from what I can tell I can't find one cigar company in the list.

It is scary to think how much it probably costs to advertise in the magazine. Probably so high most cigar companies cannot even afford it.

Thank you for reading.

Richard - I wish I knew how to use photo editing software the same way you do.

I also wish I could take a picture as good as you as well.

Re: It's happening

I still have yet to check out the new site. Contacted them yesterday before 6 am about a problem logging in and have not received a response as of 10 minutes ago. All that I know is that if I go to the site and see if things have been resolved, something there locks up my computer and I have to drop off line to fix it. If they don't care about a 3 year member not being able to participate in the launch of the new site, it tells me that puff will go the way of virtually every site that the owner has touched in the past.

Re: It's happening

Alright, I lied... yesterday I wrote that I was not going back to Puff... Then I remembered there were two addresses I needed in my PM box. I got them... and now I am done.
