Thank you gentlemen for what you have provided to us, the Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf

SmokeyJoe · 10-20-2008, 10:12 PM

Absolutely!

We are fortunate indeed to have so many selfless and talented leaders. You should be proud of what you have crafted here in such a short time.

Scottw · 10-20-2008, 10:15 PM

Its a great place and thanks is much deserved. Again, thanks a ton!!

BengalMan · 10-20-2008, 10:20 PM

I'll have to agree. CA has quickly become the #1 cigar site in my eyes.

10-20-2008, 10:41 PM

Thank you for the home you have given us.

Starscream · 10-20-2008, 10:42 PM

Hear, hear, SF, and humble thanks to the 11. The speed at which this site has taken off is the greatest testament to their work.

WEll it took me forever to figure out how to spell Asylum, but I'm glad I did. It's great to see the inmates finally runnin' the place....................

From the bottom of our hearts (and I feel the rest of the team feel the same way) we thank you for your kind words. We are sure if any others were in our position and had the means to, you would have done the same. We wanted what you wanted. We needed what you needed.

Well said, Kel.

I am deeply moved by the incredible support and kind words Cigar Asylum has received in our first week of existence. But without the general membership, the forum doesn't exist. Thanks to all who are a part of something truly special.

Here's to all 11 for creating a new place to call home

Ashcan Bill · 10-21-2008, 06:34 AM

It's really amazing to me that our mods could even put this together in the short amount of time they had to work with. I can barely fathom the amount of work that went into this. The site already feels like home, and the esprit de corps that's developed in a week is great.

It's just hard to thank these 11 guys enough.

10-21-2008, 08:07 AM

It pains me when I have to agree with the old Hairball. However, this time he is spot on.

Thank you, each and everyone of you.

TripleF · 10-21-2008, 08:10 AM

RG bump for everyone of you!!!

Thanks!

but no general membership without a forum. This is no "chicken or egg" question, there had to be a forum before general membership could excist, and you guys, the group of 11, made it possible,

Thank you!

SF, that's a wonderful Kipling quote. Thank you for posting it. And thanks to everyone who's making this place home.

Without y'all, it'd just be the eleven of us sitting around talking to each other.
