The Cigar Talk Forum TODAY, reminds me of CT about this time last year, before the trolls, before SAN split, before many of us grabbing a new alias.
Today has been fun and light-hearted as it once was. I don't know half of you anymore, but you are all cool, entertaining, informed and informative for the most part.
Julieta2 and I used to have many "shat and giggles" sessions. We really did no harm; however, we had a great time, hurt no one's feelings and looked out for the Forum's best interest. Today is very reminiscent of last year.
Just my thoughts.........

I'm here fellas, no worries. I just sort of stopped posting all together. To many people got on my nerves and I wound up having nothing nice to say to them so I just picked up my toys and left. One more "this has nothing to do with cigars..." post and I would have climbed a tower. I don't remember asking anyone here about what I could and could not post. I still post here and there, I still read most of the things you good guys write. I am in college right now, I am about to cross train and re-enlist in the military. We will see how that all goes. Life has me busy. But never to busy to stop by and see how my friends are around here. I too miss the days before trolls, back when bulls**ting was the norm, good cigar knowledge was out there and Bloof could type a 900 word post twice a day. I just don't feel as much a part of these forums as I once was. The admin is all f**ked up and I'm tired of getting pissed when my friends are forced to go. I'm here, always will be. Thanks for the honorable mentions, it's always good to know people out there care enough to say something nice about you. Take care,
Jay

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, good one. I'll get back to you, but remember, The Great Dumboni might have a tough time giving you a timely answer. Don't forget it took me 15 years to figure out that I had to buy size 32 belts instead of size 34.

I get fired up from time to time here but fine that I have agreed and disagreed with everyone here although some more than others. I still feel like I could sitdown and drink a beer and smoke a cigar with all of you here.

I believe the love never really left here, but it became kind of scarce for awhile. The political ranting and in-fighting got to me, too. It's not the "pot calling the kettle black" as I've been known to rant and vent politically on occasion. The personal attacks just became too much. We see that B.S. way too much in our professional lives. I'm glad to see Julieta2 and Bloofington posting again. I'm no hippy\tree hugger\"let's all be friends" kind of guy, but we can all agree to disagree-and be civil. Ya' think?

No doubt. Rants aside, everytime a member ends up in Boston, you better believe that the Boston delegation will be there to greet them.
Just had a sit down with BradMC. Wacco, Airborne and I had a helluva night with the BIG guy.
Any time any of you head up to beantown you'd best give us a heads up. My lockers full at Churchills, and waiting for you.
