Well, I just got off the phone with Don and he told me to 'get my arse in here', so here I am.
My name is Dave and I'm a former member of Club Stogie/Puff.
First impression is... this place looks "awesome"!!! I'm anxious to look around and check out the forum.
Glad to see some old friends and familiar faces here; and I'm looking forward to talking with you guys and participating again!

Whoohoo!!!!!! First post! :D
Welcome, Dave!
Oh man. When I tell all you guys how moved I am that you've come here, I mean it with my whole heart. You've all humbled me.
Now, this? This is the cherry on my cake. This is my Car 54 partner; a man who's lead me, taught me and with whom I've been through more shit together with than there's room to mention. Truly a brother, truly a friend, truly an icon. My friend, Dave.
And, I get to be first on the scene for your intro? How's THAT?
Thank you.
EDIT: leave it to me to edit my way into second place...
Hey Dave!
Glad you made it over here!
Welcome aboard sir.
I remember you
nice to see u again
Forum royalty is present. Hi Dave, it is always an honour. (Tashaz here if you didn't realize).
Holy crap, Welcome Dave! Glad to see you here.
Glad to have you on board Dave!
'New guy' haha. Your avatar was at the top of so many of those encyclopedic threads that drew me to Puff back when I was running Google searches to answer my cigar questions a few years ago. I'm glad to see you here!
Welcome Dave! Like other have mentioned I spent my formative years at Puff reading the library you created there. Can't wait too learn even more from you.
None of those type things were Dave's doing. All those decisions were made as a team and always the result of member input. I know you're just playin' around, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knows how it worked. In all likelihood, it was probably Dave who pushed for a temporary sit-down, as opposed to a ban. He's notoriously fair and evenhanded.Quote:
Dave, it truly is an home and a high-order pleasure to see you here. Coolness!
I used to be Tritones and I approve this message.
Great to see you hear Dave!
So glad to see you here Dave!
Thanks for joining us my friend! It wouldn't have been a home without you...
Dave, a blast from the past! What's it been, 8, 9 years since we herfed at Mahogany as a couple of newbies? Let's make sure it isn't another 8 years! -Joel
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
It's refreshing to see this community getting off to a great start; and I look forward to seeing it grow in the coming months. In my opinion, the success of the forum will be determined by the assistance from and the participation of its members. I'd be happy to help in any way.
Thank you, Don, for giving us, the "brothers of the leaf", a place to share, once again, our compassion and enjoyment for this great hobby!
