Why Do You Love the Asylum?

Because theres no pop ups, no advertisements, and theres no single individual dictating "how its going to go down from now on cuz I own da place".

I would like to add that the TOE has done a fantastic job of providing moderation and guidance which keeps CA above the fray one encounters on most other sites.

The members of this community have been so generous to each other too. I have had the opportunity to try many cigars that were new to me because another generous member decided to destroy my mailbox with a fiver. The fact that people in this community will send cigars to someone or even simply share a personal experience with others that they have only talked to via a forum says a lot about the strength of a community.

This place makes me really care about people I haven't met. That takes some emotional investment but it always comes back to me three-fold.

+1 Kelly hit pretty straight on!

I am a member of another forum(think fish) and I did make a couple friends there, but here seems to be entirely different. I have already made new friends here and herfed with them. Something I never did elsewhere. We even have another herf planned in a couple weeks where I will meet new peeps from here and get to know them in person. Some of the friends I made over there all seemed to gravitate to here.

I am by no means a expert in our hobby, but I love to learn from the BOTL and SOTL here so I can expand on what I have already learned and extend that knowledge to others who may not know.

Thanks to the ToE for making CA what it is today
