On a personal note, when I joined Puff in 2012 I was relatively green when it came to cigars. I never owned a humidor and had no idea how to property care for cigars. I learned the majority of what I know from Don’s how-to and educational posts. He was always willing to answer questions when I had them and never made me feel stupid or feel like I was wasting his time. If it wasn't for Don's kindness and knowledge I wouldn't enjoy cigars nearly as much as I do today. I was genuinely honored when he asked me to be a Mod and even more so when he asked me to be an Admin. That was 6/23 and the last time I spoke with Don. I had no idea that would be the last time I would ever talk to Don much less that he would pass two days later. He talked about what a great community Cigar Bum is and I couldn’t agree more. It’s the old adage of preferring 100 quarters to 2,500 pennies. I’m still in shock about Don’s passing. I hope that Cigar Bum will continue to carry the standard Don set for us and his spirit in creating Cigar Bum: to be a true community where we can learn, share and have fun together. Rest in Peace, Don. I will miss you.
