Oh damn thanks for relaying the bad news Jesse. Rest easy Don. Never had the privilege to get to know him personally, however I did always enjoy reading the wealth of knowledge he possesed.

I am shocked and saddened by this news. I always found Don's post and messages very thoughtful and educational. I am sure we all will never forget a fellow BOTL like him. Although I am sad I am also very glad that his last smoke he also considered his best. Smoke a great one today in his honor.

I don't know what to say. This really rocks my world. While I never met or personally spoke to Don, it was him that welcomed me to the hobby. When I first began smoking cigars, I joined Puff and introduced myself as a newbie. Don hit me with 50 Ring gauge and PM'd me personally welcoming me and told me if I ever had a question or needed help to not hesitate to contact him. That made me feel welcome and appreciated as a member. It was Dons reaching out that made me stick around to fall in love with hanging you Bums.

When Puff disbanded and Cigarbum was started by Don and the others, I literally would have followed Don to war. I respected the man that much. We lost a truly great man who would share his love and knowledge of this hobby to all of us. Don, you will be missed and I wish I could have told you how much I appreciated you. RIP my friend!

Wow. I think of Don every time I smoke a lancero. I can still see his post (on Puff) advising that lanceros need to be smoked right on the verge of going out. It took some practice, but I got the hang of it, and lanceros are my favorite vitola. I also remember some PM discussions about kitty litter, and a couple of phone conversations that kept me from throwing over the whole idea of cigar forums after some bad experiences. Port and lancero it is. Miss you already, Don!

Very sad news!
Don, rest in peace knowing that you are going to be missed by your extended family.
To Don's immediate family and close friends I extend my condolences.

Wow, such a shock and way too young. It just reinforces that you should live every day to the fullest as it could all be gone tomorrow. RIP Don.
