The persistance of our community

[Haebar]

Got an email last night that announced that Puff.com was back up. After their going down about a month ago, the way our community of tobacco connoisseurs found its way back together is a testament of the cohesiveness of the group. I understand Facebook had a lot to do with getting the word out. I just happened to have someone's email address from a previous transaction and found out by emailing them. How did you find your way back to the group at CigarBum?

SeanTheEvans had my email address and let me know.

How did you find this place? (http://www.cigarbum.com/forum/showthread.php?35-How-did-you-find-this-place&highlight=find) ;)

Saw a post while lurking on another forum trying to find out what happened.

After we got thrown out and the door closed behind us I started wondering the streets and asking strangers if they knew about "poof forum". Eventually I found a bar and someone said that there was this new forum so I checked it out and waited for someone to come in and I sneaked behind them just before the door closed.

(saw a post at a random site talking about a new forum)

Sorry, someone had already posed this question to the group and I didn't realize it. (see Nature's hyperlink)

I'd been wandering aimlessly in the dark not even realizing I was lost. Then Tobias Lutz found me deep in the wilderness and showed me the way home.

Hey no problem!! They can post here too! LOTS of newcomers and old-timers still wandering in. Nice to see how people found their way here.

I think it is all just a testament to the fact that the community is what makes the forum, the forum doesn't make the community.

I googled "Is Puff.com down for good" and came across a discussion that referenced this site.
Sure glad I found it.

Couldn't agree more. The URL makes no difference to me. If we change the name again tomorrow I couldn't care less, as long as the gang's all here.

It seems like almost everyone has made their way over to the Bum, so I'm a happy smoker.

I was standing back of the barn in the dark with my laptop doing a cigar search when, I saw a note go by from Tobias Lutz about cigar Bum and I strolled over to see what he was selling.

Former US president, Mr Bill Clinton sent me an Email saying I need to come check it out.

Or was it Billb1960 not really sure now..LOL

Brian Williams called me and let me know about this community that he created during his unexpected down time from his news job.

I got emails from other members. Being on this forum is almost as good as being in a smoking lounge.

Tmoran bribed me.

The interesting thing is that before I came (back) here, I joined another site that has a ton of people in my neighborhood but I like it here more even though I feel alone! :stogie:

Where are all the Southern California people?

[Blaylock]

Don "roped" me in.

Can we get that "bangs head against the wall" smiley in here? :D

[MrMotoyoshi]

Commander Quan shot me a PM and guided me here (It was more like a command actually :friendly_wink: )

[BLESKOP]

GOOGLE is a powerful tool.:fly: It is always about the guys I've come to know and not the URL. I read through a certain topic on PUFF this morning and boy was I glad I founded the Bums! At least now I can continue sharing my fondness for tobacco, coffee, books and whatever we might share.
