Just my feelings toward Cigar Asylum - Page 3

AndyMadera · 06-17-2009, 06:16 PM

Guys, im speachless... not as in no words, but my mouth just wont work right now from just pure emotion. Im glad i can still type what im feeling. hell, I guess maybe I cant even do that, Not even a fraction of it anyway. On top of your responces I got PMs, chat messages, skype, and motivational comments in my profile.... more than 50 individuals I would say... I had not idea how far it extended. I will never forget CA as long as I shall live, ofcourse being a member for life would kinda make it hard to forget!!!!
e
I think abe06 said it best, I should not have let my experience on the other site effect how I feel in general about my relationship here. on that note, I will resume my occasional offer, probably even later this evening with the Don Fernando and Casa Pineda. Thank you again, I cant say that enough.

God Bless,
Andy

Nice post Andy. This is the reason why we all jumped to this place!

PitDog · 06-17-2009, 06:41 PM

Excellent post Andy.

Awesome Andy. Looks like all of your hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, and tears are finally paying off. One thing I have noticed about the Asylum since I got here was the support members offer each other, in all aspects of life. We are there for you Andy. Good luck in the future...I cant wait until you put out your Vermillion line in honor of me

There's plenty of damn fine botl's here that are "in the business".
You've got an incredible opportunity to share your talents with your friends.
I can't imagine one reason in the world why you wouldn't want to share with your friends first.

Your heart's in the right place, and what matters to you speaks volumes.
That's a hell of a place to start.

Very heartfelt post Andy. I believe many (if not all) members here at the MADHOUSE feel the same way about this place. This is truly a haven for us and our fellow S/BOTLs.

Great post Andy

I agree Andy, this place is home

You guys would not believe the amount of effort that Andy and his employee put it to making sure that no matter how much we expand that we remember the guys that helped Guillen Cigars from the get go. CA is a special place

Biglizard1 · 06-21-2009, 06:01 PM

Thanks Andy for everything that you have shown us!, I appreciate your candid attitude and the fact that your heart has always been in the right place with this crew is why I have and always will encourage you and your product. You are a BOTL and it means a great deal that I have been able to meet with you in person and chat online! This place we call home is a great place and I couldnt imagine most any time I sign on a computer that I dont check to see where my friends are!
Thanks for being one of those friends!

And hey, why do I never see these threads until I feel like the last kid to the prom???
eheheh

Yeah really, sure wonder about that thought process.

Nice post Andy. Glad your here.

Nice post Andy, it reminded me why this place is so special.

TomHagen · 06-22-2009, 11:35 PM

Nice post, nice stick. I got one of Andy's in a bomb and really enjoyed it.

Never stop dreaming, never stop fighting and all will be yours to keep!

Keep at it Andy.

TripleF · 06-23-2009, 06:48 AM

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Andy!!

I too agree, there's no place quite like this!!

Don Fernando · 06-23-2009, 01:12 PM

I missed this topic completely. Andy, I don't see you as someone who pushes cigars, not at all. I see you as a friend, especially after meeting you in Vegas.

As for your feelings about CA and the group we have here, what more can I say that without CA I would probably never have visited the US. The friendships I have built on the Asylum were a reason for me to fly over and meet some of you in real life.

Great post, Andy!! Without vendors/retailers where would our hobby be?

thebiglebowski · 06-24-2009, 01:31 PM

well said, Andy. even though i don't know you, i'm glad you're here.
