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!
