Welcome aboard @RickRickerRickest. Are you and @SmileyCigar our replacements for @TheCigarChick ?

Ha! I can never be replaced.

Can’t really argue with that. You ready to tell us where you ran off to? Is it working out like you hoped?

Congratulations! Now we just wait for that smoke with your name attached to it. Just please insist it be made in small to gauges 🤣

It's like you don't even know me, @Rdp77! In my ideal world everything would be a Corona Gorda, but it's not always about what I like or think is needed - I'm doing it for the people. (lol) There's some cool stuff coming down the pike for 2026, but 2027 is when I'll really get to swing for the fences.

It's been over seven months, so I'm sure I'm not breaking any rules/requests, @Rdp77: I've moved over to General Cigar Co., which is also owned by STG, who is the parent company of CCOM, CI, etc. I'm now managing brands, helping to create new products, and just getting to be an all-around creative when it comes to cigars, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time. In fact, come 2026 I'll most likely be going on a tour and hosting brand events at all of the CI Superstores, so I hope to be able to meet a lot of the Forum folk in person after all these years!

It goes without saying, but I have a huge soft spot for the Forum and while I'm not on everyday anymore, I'm still here and accessible. Whether you all tag me so I get a notification or you send me an email (lindsay.heller@st-group.com), I'll always make myself available for the CCOM Forum crew!

Congratulations! Now we just wait for that smoke with your name attached to it. Just please insist it be made in small to gauges 🤣

Good morning!

What time is the vherf usually, @Rdp77?

We usually start getting on around 8pm eastern time.

Ya know @TheCigarChick we still do the vherf every night if you ever decide you wanna pass on a little inside info about those projects while enjoying a smoke with a few cigar nerds.

@TheCigarChick, I found a minor issue the other day, the Drafts page is no longer showing the CCOM branding, plain vanilla Vanilla Forums branding. It becomes a dead end where you can't get to the forum except by using the back button.
