haha yeah. I have the old CS banner ads to thank for my introduction to CCs.

As for the differences, you're right that most of the people here came from CS but I think this site benefits greatly from the focus on community and friendship instead of trying to be the biggest or most extensive, revenue generating site. I like the fact that CA is not trying to be the most popular cigar forum on the web. There are still plenty of highly active members here whose collective cigar knowledge and experience far exceeds any other site I've been to.

I checked out Puff the other night after reading this thread and I really don't care for the layout either. There are just too many links and videos and rss feeds and advertisements and polls, etc.....the list goes on. I much prefer the 'keep it simple' approach.
