Our friend and CigarBum founder Don Debusk (Herf n Turf) passed away a year ago. I never had the pleasure of meeting Don, but I saw by his posts what a true gentleman he was. I remember when I joined Puff, Don was the first to contact and welcome me. He always seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge with everyone and did it with kindness. He was a true gentleman and led by example.
His last cigar was a Cohiba Behike and he said it was the best cigar he had every smoked, which was quite a statement coming from Don. He had a great appreciation for great cigars.
I hope you all will join me in the next coming days and smoke one of your finest cigars in rememberance of Mr. Don Debusk. We lost a great friend, but he isn't forgotten.
RIP Don!

Never could I forget a guy like that. He was a true friend, I miss him a lot.
Last time I saw him I gave him a few sticks and told him to hold onto them for the next time we met.
I have the other half of them in my humidor, might break one out tonight.

I remember the shock I had upon hearing the news, and yea, disbelief. Don will be missed for sure. Plan to light up a special one this weekend in his honor.

I had more than 1 late night phone bs sessions with him. We both were drinking bourbon and smoking cigars at the time. Don was an amazing guy, he
had such a varied background and really was a brilliant person. I will indeed burn a special one for him this weekend.

Time just keeps flying, definitely gone but not forgotten. He’s actually just taken a different route, we’ll all catch up down the road apiece. It’ll be an honor to burn one down for our founding father.

Did not have the pleasure of meeting Don but by all accounts his legacy is a large and positive one. Including, which I can tell firsthand, the one he created right here and lives on with all of you. RIP, Don, as elegant smoke, mine included, fills the skies all over in your honor.

It’s been a busy week and I wanted to take the time with a cigar worthy of a tribute. Here’s to you Don. We wouldn’t have this home if it wasn’t for you.
