    Welcome to the circus @MichaelK hope you stick around and enjoy the camaraderie this site has.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

  • Shawn here. Just joined. Looking for a community to talk about smokes with. The good ones. The bad ones. The ones a lot of people don’t know about that are awesome.

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

    I’m confused. Did my post tag you somehow?

    Newbs don't need to be tagged, they can just read a post and figure it's aimed at them. They have a special skill.

    @Hollywood, this is what it looks like when you're tagged. If you're not one of the members with a '@' listed in someone posted it wasn't aimed at you.

    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?

  • Not sure what tag means.

    @Hollywood, when someone tags you, either by typing it in or just replying to your message you'll get a notification. Depending on how your notifications are set up, it may trigger an email. I set my preferences up so I don't get emails for tags (mentions).

    New users can sometimes trigger a message to be held for moderation if they tag to many people. Watch for that.

  • Ok. Who is this Cigar Chick that everyone seems to know?

  • Yakster
    Yakster ✭✭✭✭✭

    She used to be a Cigar.com business leader, and someone that has helped us out on the forum with occasional order issues and forum issues, but she has a new position within the parent company STG now. She's always been helpful. This is the last I heard about her new position. People were asking you if you were the new @TheCigarChick because they were wondering if you're an admin working for CCOM, I believe.

    @TheCigarChick said:
    Without divulging not-yet-public information, I have many tricks and ideas up my sleeve. Thrilled to be given the opportunity to do some really cool things with General Cigar both in-person and online, as well as actually orchestrate new blends for release.

  • I’m a behind the scenes guy.

  • She sounds cool. Would like to meet her.

  • Let’s have lunch CigarChick.

    No, I asked two of the other three guys that are listed as administrators if they were her replacement.
