In Memory of Don DeBusk

[Old Smokey]

It was July 1st 2017 that our founder Don DeBusk aka Herf n' Turf passed away. He is not forgotten.

I am smoking a Fuente Anejo 46, a cigar I know Don liked, while remembering what a wonderful man he was. He had a wealth of cigar knowledge and always shared it freely with anyone who had a question. When I was a new cigar smoker and joined Poof, Don sent me a personal message welcoming me and then hit me with 50rg points. I instantly knew I had found a friend.

I don't know who forks over the money to keep da Bum open, but it might be a good time to maybe put up some auctions with all proceeds going to CigarBum operating funds in honor of Don DeBusk. What do you all think? @jhedrick83 @Nature

Chime in guys and gals. What does everyone think?

Thank you for the nice tribute to our old friend, Steve. I was just thinking about this very topic this last weekend and could not determine when exactly it was.

I will certainly find some time this week to pay my own homage at a better fitting time.

Don helped create this great community. He will always be fondly remembered.

He is dearly missed

It's difficult to lose a fellow BOTL and esp.at an age that he was. Some people attain legendary status in their endeavors in life and he definitely left a mark in this hobby and he and I didn't always see eye to eye but that was his charm as his real focus was on this great hobby and those who love it as much as he did.

I miss him every day. Didn’t smoke one last night but will smoke a 2007 Boli PC tomorrow On my day off. That’s the last cigar we smoked together

He always seemed to be a fine person who always gave us a wealth of knowledge on our hobby. I'm still resting some Oliva Master Blend 3's on his recommendation. Only a couple of years left to hit the five year mark. What a shame to lose such a fine man, not only for his cigar knowledge, but how to be as a true gentleman.....
