Can someone fill me in on the Cigar Drama?

BUCASmoker · 06-14-2009, 08:40 PM

So I was a member of Club Stogie several years ago (some of you may remember me, some may not).

Now that I have much more time on my hands, I decided to pick up the habit again

. I paid a visit to clubstogie.com and was redirected to Puff Cigar. I posted a thread asking what the heck was going on, and a few members directed me to this website. But their links were blocked in some of the PMs. What's the deal?

Is there a cigar civil war brewing?

Thank you to Shawn (ssutton), jledou, and Jim (negncic) for pointing me to this site... I appreciate it!

Jon Caputo sucks ass, that's where the drama started.

I don't know anything about the drama but loved the way you summed things up.

I had the same experience a while back. went to CS after a year off. It seemed really dead and I didn't see any familiar names. I made a post inquiring about what happened and was directed here.

I just went back to take a look for curiosity's sake and came across this hilarious post:

"Picked these[Cohibas] up last weekend. I'm quite excited because of all the CC's I have, these are the only ones I'm absolutely certain about being real."

Good thing Darrell's mellowing out!

And really, did you honestly want to be a member of a "Puff" forum?

Welcome to the Asylum.

Long story short, a guy named Jon Caputo bought Club Stogie and several other sites, and merged them as Puff.com. Several of the people who are now here did not like the way things were over there, nor did Caputo do himself any favors by responding to the tiniest criticisms in a very immature manner. The "Team of 11" created this place and I, along with many others, am very grateful.

I have got to admit, I do like this place a lot better than Puff from just a superficial look. Not as many advertisements, or gimmicks. Seems more "homely"

Are there any old BOTLs from the CS days that post on here?

That's because you've been looking at our face photos.

It was all my fault. I told Da Klugs I liked him and it made him uncomfortable enough to abandon ship. Then I found him again. The restraining order is kind of an inside joke between us.

I am incredibly handsome so you could not have been talking about me. True story: twice in the last month my fortune cookie note said "Handsome is as handsome does."

And the third said, "If your ego was a state, it would be the 51st state...but the 3rd largest".

You beat me to that, Dustin!

I will just sit back and be quiet now...except to say Welcome to the Asylum, Vadim!

you mean you dont like how slow the sight runs and circus-esque that front page is with the video in the bottom right corner that re-ups everytime a page loads with a commercial for something either cigar-related or totally unrelated like bathroom tissue?

Hey baby, anything to pump a little spending change towards JonC's way right? yeah baaaaby!!!
