Thank you all.

So it is decided...the MOD used TOE so it's TOE

Thanks for making this place our home...I can't wait to meet more BOTLs and SOTLs in the upcoming years.

I was a little late getting to the party... but thanks go out to Kelly and the rest of the eleven for running such a top notch site.

Thanks To The TOE For Making Cigar Asylum The Awesome Place That It Is! 2nd Home? It's My First!

Thanks TOE!

Thank you!!!

Without the vision and tenacity of the Eleven (TOE) to start this place we wouldn't have this home!!!

bruceolee · 10-05-2009, 08:49 PM

After years at CS and now after everything that's happened to me it has been awesome to find CA and reconnect with all my old BOTL friends again. THANK YOU ALL!!!

and by old I don't mean in terms of age although Dave is getting up there, but well aged.

hahahahahaha

A joke about old farts and it's not me.

SmokeyJoe · 10-05-2009, 10:14 PM

Do you guys remember what it was like a year ago?

I was nearly despondent...
All the changes at our former home were frustrating at best... and infuriating at worst. I truly felt like something I had come to appreciate deeply had been irrevocably destroyed - and I was saddened by that. Accusations flew, friendships were strained... betrayals, and accusations of betrayals were rampant. My cherished little community was crumbling...

Then, all the mods left "en masse!" I wasn't sure what to think, but very soon I heard that 11 men that I trusted had decided the time had come to start a new forum. A difficut decision, I'm sure. Tons of work and criticism everywhere. But you 11 believed something of that incredible community could be salvaged.

You were right.

I probably sound foolish or melodramatic with my characterization of the Fall of 2008, but that is how I felt. I could say "thank you" for what you 11 men did, but truthfully? "Thank you" just doesn't begin to convey my gratitude.

I hope you all can derive some gratification and satisfaction from the number of folks who have made CA their on-line home. Not just CS expatriates, but the new folks who come here everyday and find the very best parts of what the jungle meant to us all.

Forgive the verbosity... I could have gone on for several more pages.

Please just know that you have made a huge positive impact in the life of a graying, chubby, novice cigar smoker in North Carolina - who thinks of you as family. Blessings on each of you.

DPD6030 · 10-05-2009, 10:53 PM

Thank you TOE

for a safe haven to come and rest my head.

bvilchez · 10-05-2009, 11:14 PM

TO THE TOE

......I can recall being in Iraq and disappointed that what I had just come to know and love had been destroyed.

Then the TOE lifted my spirits....they bought a house and made it a home.

Thank you TOE

croatan · 10-06-2009, 08:18 AM

You guys rock.

hotreds · 10-06-2009, 08:42 AM
