It's happend
 

you know... over there... at that place

Re: It's happening
 

First time I checked that site in quite a bit... :ss

Re: It's happening
 

I pop in regularly for the pipe forum...

Re: It's happening
 

wonder how long it will take....

Re: It's happening
 

It all begins tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. But we're safe here. :D

Re: It's happening
 

Down temporarily while blah blah.

Re: It's happening
 

It has been happening for a while now.

Lets all sing together.

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea.....................

Re: It's happening
 

I saw your location, and thought it was your post count.

I about shat myself

Re: It's happening
 

Rip :ss

Re: It's happening
 

I'm listening to the "puffcast" with Dave right now. Weird.

Re: It's happening
 

I am so glad we have this place. Thanks team of 11!

Re: It's happening
 

It's like watching the last little bit of Titanic go beneath the water line

Re: It's happening
 

Same sense I got.
It is like the home you grew up in being torn down to make room for a mall.

Re: It's happening
 

100 days, almost. A pretty good run. A moment of silence, if you please.;)

Re: It's happening
 

To be totally honest, I like CA better than CS even pre-Jon Caputo. I have almost as many posts here in just a few months as I did in over a year on CS.

Re: It's happening
 

And so they ride off into the sunset, never to be seen again. A sad, sad day.

I am sure Jon will be making up SN's and posting "Hi, New guy from ......" Threads for quite some time. :hn

Re: It's happening
 

Thats called post whoring. Also see: Elderboy02 :D

Re: It's happening
 

Couldn't have put it better :tu

RIP Lowland Louie.....1997 - 2009

I also would like to thank the 11 for creating a home for us Refugee'd Gorillas :salute:

Re: It's happening
 

Me too Mikey, me too.

Re: It's happening
 

What is this "Post Whoring" you refer to :ss

Re: It's happening
 

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 :).

Re: It's happening
 

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)."

Re: It's happening
 

Yeah none of us Massholes know nothing about that, adopted, honorary or otherwise.:r

Re: It's happening
 

Fluff for Puff, my man.:D

Re: It's happening
 

That would explain all of the "Hey, it's almost my birthday, let me post a countdown" and "Boo hoo, I'm only 18, and CI says I need to be 21 to order" posts. I was so darn sick of those! I thought cigars were for grown-ups, which in my mind, is not just a number, but also a mindset. If your post contains the phrase, "My mom won't let me [fill in the blank]" maybe you should wait a while before you pursue this great hobby.

RIP, Club Stogie. It was there that I met all of the people that I got to meet in person at the Epic Ybor Herf, as well as the Florida guys that I have herfed with in person, and the Tulip Twins, who I hope to meet in person soon.


I remember, ChasDen gave me my first bomb, and my trades with Savor the Stick, gnukfu, and Alley00p. And Bao kicked my a$$ thoroughly too!

"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. Come, live the life of a true cigar connoisseur. Puff Lifestyle – the sky is the limit."

Sounds like an online version of Mr. Marvin Shanken

Re: It's happening
 

:tpd: Thank God the Team of 11 gave us a new home.

Re: It's happening
 

Inhale Life everyone!

Re: It's happening
 

A huge thanx....after checking out the "Puff Lifestyle" ("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.") I don't think I'll fit in as a grad student with my sweet Tercel and Timex watch (I still think they are hot and insane).

Re: It's happening
 

I too am curious. Please tell me more . . .

Re: It's happening
 

:r Thats Mr. Postwhore

Re: It's happening
 

A few of us had a discussion on this topic recently while herfing on Skype and determined that since 'whoring' implied getting paid, we are more accurately post sluts.

Re: It's happening
 

Now that was funny! :r:r

Fellers, I haven't been around as long as a lot of you guys and I certainly appreciate your frustration with all that happened. But I just think it's a bit presumptuous to think that the things we appreciated at the original CS are now gone forever and maybe even a little sad that you've completely written off the place and are looking forward to its demise. I think it makes complete sense to be concerned when your 'home' is (I wouldn't say taken away from you but) 'changed' but that's just my :2 and well, what do I know. I've been anxious though, like you guys, to see the change. It'll be an interesting week! Oh, and don't get me wrong, I love CA and all that the Amazing 11 have done to create this great place.

Re: It's happening
 

I feel like the "Pimp Stick" is going to be the #1 cigar on Puff.com. Based on what I'm seeing so far, I have no desire to be a part of that site any longer. The spirit and feel of CS definitely faded when everyone left, but the PUff.com "feel" so far seems totally different.

I prefer to think of myself as a post-stud. :cb

Re: It's happening
 

Bottom line: CS was my first "cigar" home, and as such, I'll miss it, and am saddened by its demise. Like most here(all?!) I am very thankful that the team of 11 decided to keep the spirit of CS continuing here at CA. Thanks guys! The king is dead, long live the king!

Re: It's happening
 

:r:r I like it.

Re: It's happening
 

We just set-up an alternative software environment. Y'all made it a/your/our home. Sad day the end of CS. For me that was 10/14 so pretty much over it now. Lots of old memories from the interaction there. New memories, old and new friends here so .... best wishes to Kpuffville.

Never really "got" the brotherly intent of buying the #'s 3,6 and 16th largest cigar sites, merging them and creating the... # 3 largest cigar site. It's either genius beyond which us community members have a view of or.... just a play into the popularity of "Social communities" that is a roll-up and flip plan for an opportunist.

Time will tell.

Re: It's happening
 

What sites are numbers 1-5?

Re: It's happening
 

I pared this down to home in on the part I wanted to answer to. I don't think anyone is really looking forward to the demise. I feel that most of us are trying to put humor in something that is sad for most of us, or at least started out that way. Now we have CA thanks to the 11, and I agree with you that I love this place as well. It is much more homey to me than CS was, maybe that's because I was involved here from the get go. Not sure about everyone's feelings but that's my :2. And I don't think I have written it off just moved on.:)

Re: It's happening
 

:r:r

We have a winner!

Re: It's happening
 

ooohhh, database error in the forums link. Must still be putting the new paint on the ol' place.

Re: It's happening
 

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! :r

Re: It's happening
 

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.

Re: It's happening
 

I couldn't agree with you more Brent.:tu

Re: It's happening
 

i went through a "buy out" on another forum that I am an admin on (not a cigar site) and luckily the new owners left everything to the existing staff to run. Nothing has changed except for who owns the joint.

Sorry to see that some other "new" owners of a site couldn't use that philosophy

Re: It's happening
 

...




:salute:It's been fun.

Re: It's happening
 

That is twice in one day that Greg has agreed with me... I am getting a little freaked out!!!:confused:

Re: It's happening
 

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

Re: It's happening
 

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?:hm

Re: It's happening
 

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

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