Give A Shout-out To....

VisionVision Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭✭✭
I think this could be a cool thread to just say thank you to a member (doesn't have to be a bomb or cigars, could just be a little help here or there....) or a shout out to your local B&M or CCOM ETC....Lets see if this catches on.

I will reply first.... as I have a few I need to thank.

    I just want to give a shout out to the guys up at the Federal Cigar in Plaistow NH. They replaced my lighter today after going to a place closer to me (I wont name names but I will never go back to any one of their "2" stores.... even tho they have more then two stores) they literally said that my spitting sputtering lighter was ok and it was probably just me...... even tho it happened to the guy working there. Federal has never once treated me like an idiot (which I am) or talked down or back to me. I will bring my business only to them.

    I also had an issue with a "Bid" site. The 5 pack of Obsidians I won DIRT CHEAP was on back order. (is it in bad taste to name them?... not sprintsale) and they told me "Pick the size you like and we will ship it right out" I won the Gordo and said "If you have the White Noise I will take them... ", even tho they sell for $15 more.... The woman said "We will ship them right out". Great customer service at two stand up places!!!

    No way I could just pick one name. There's just been to darn many that have been there when times were hard. And I'd be afraid of leaving someone out. Love you guys!

    I think this could be a moving forward thing... I dont think many, if any of us could just say thank you to one person for all they have done for us.... MIke got me, like most, started down this road leading to my wineador and we all couldnt thank him enough for what he is done turning passer-bys into 2500 posters. I was hoping it will turn into more like .......

    I just want to say thank you to Dustin for always answering my dumb a.s.s questions and helping getting my wineador seasoned. Thank you Dustin for all your help!!

    And dont be afraid of changing the Subject to something like Give a Shout Out to Dustin

    Gotcha! I misunderstood. In that case I want to give Ddubridge (Drew) a big shout out for turning me on to some Kitty Litter. I'm loving that stuff!

    I won't start naming names because I might leave somebody out. So, my first shout out on this thread goes to everybody here on the forum. All of you guys that have been so welcoming and generous with good advice, good information, and good cigars. I feel like I've come farther along in my stogie education in the past few months than I have in whole time I've been smoking cigars. My hat is off to all you guys. Thanks.

    (even though i know he will never see this) Mattie cupcakes. not only does he know more about cigars than anyone i have ever met, but he helped me develop my palate and helped me get to Nicaragua. thank you. without you my cigar knowledge would be nothing.


    our main man Alex Svenson. some of the insight i have received from you is priceless. the tips, the info, the cigars, the experience of this forum. all of it. there is no amount of "thank you" that can cover it all. I hope one day to meet you in person. with any luck it will be sooner rather than later and in a tobacco field or cigar factory.

    One of the best brothers to ever be a part of the forum, jOz3r.. Joe hasn't been around for a long time. Gone since December for personal reasons, but he sent me a box of La Aurora 1495 1994 Cameroon Coronas. Some of you may be familiar with this cigar, these were a very limited edition of their 1495 cigar with a Cameroon wrapper harvested in 1994.

    These has not been available since 2008 and will in all likelihood never be available again, and yet he saw fit to send me a box with no expectations or recompense expected.
    This has to be my favorite cigar I ever smoked. It is amazing. I thought I would never see these again. I am thankful beyond words. Joe, if you happen to read this. the words thank you are too small to express my appreciation.

    Many thanks to CCOM's Looney Left contingent!

    Y'all have no idea.

    This has been a tough year, financially, for us. Ever have "one of those years"?

    With the shoulder surgery, we knew we were going to be down by about $8,000 in earnings, and of course, as soon as I couldn't do anything about it, we were hit with about another 4G in unexpected expenses. The lightning strike that took out 80% of our electronics was just insult on top of injury.

    So, yesterday I go to the mailbox, and think "mm, she's ordered something from Amazon"

    Not so, a box from Raisindot, containing more boxes from Vulchor, Pellirojo, & Big Shizza, each containing some fine cigars! This is the first time my humidor has been nearly full in about 6 months. I've been keeping old humi-care pillows in there to try and keep it stable.

    I'd like to add, thanks also to Bob Luken and Pilgrimtex, who bombed me with cigars and pipe tobacco at a time when I was scraping the bottom of the bowl, so to speak.

    Your generosity has truly overwhelmed me, thanks to all!
