I just noticed this is my 10 year anniversary on the site. I was a lot more active the first five years than the last five. I started on the site for the online humidor.
I didn't think I'd post much at all, and definitely not that I would post over 5,000 times, however when I started getting into it I thought I would be a Guru by now. Lets see 10 years, over 40 passes, over 1,000 cigars, over 100 bombs sent, 10 Cigar Geeks Northwest Herfs, over 150 reviews (less than I should have done), over 400 data base posts and 700 pictures.
This site is awesome. I have made some good online friends, many still on the site, many as inactive as I have been the last few years, one no longer with us. I have also made two very good friends here in the Northwest (metalhead y cigarguy and MT21) that I would have never met had it not been for the site. I have also been fortunate to be able to meet about a dozen other geeks from the site when I have traveled or they have come to the Seattle area.
I remember a lot of my cigars being bought by people on this site at a time that I was very tight financially and that it really helped. I will never forget the massive bomb when my wife went through her breast cancer scare (she's still doing great). I really appreciated the support and comradery I got when my dad died.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this place has a great online humidor (and a lot more). Thanks Paul and all you Geeks.
