[El Presidente]

FOH will go through a major transformation in September including

* A blog lading page with:

1. Artcles from Jose Cadia, Ken gargett, Myself, guest writers.
2. Top 10 current cigars as voted by you.
3. Top 10 current cigars as voted by me
4. Expansion of the CUNATS network to *****INT (Cigar Underground Network Terra International ).
5. New shopping pages for cigar-czar.com, *****AS (Australia) and *****INT (International);
6. The development of worldwide clubs (funded) ala *****UK/ *****US/ *****US/ *****EU.

What else would you like to see?

In effect we will take waht we are doing global. Picture in your mind the ultimate reincarnation of FOH. Tell us what you features you would like to see.

As always.

Appreciated

El Pres. .

sounds *****ASTIC.

Start Wish list...

* Instead of tapatalk - how about getting an FOH app developed that you can download free from itunes (or from the forum website).

* Get Poker happening on all mobile devices.

* LFTH Have a specific 'bid' button that emails Di as well as posting that an item is taken

...End Wish list

[Duxnutz]

Great idea Kam in the buy button!

[ajgagnon]

*****CAN!

[Rushman]

Shout box or other chat function that works on a mobile device (app) without the need to use a browser

Ability to leverage polls on a mobile platform...tapatalk for instance won't support polls

Mobile app access to OLH

I think the LFTH "buy" button is a wonderful idea

Cheers for trying to improve what is already great

Also, due to the draconian packaging regs in Aus, I think having the video reviews featured prominently in categories would be helpful, as well as your stock reviews, which are very generous and helpful on your part, Rob. Despite the distance to Aus, I have enjoyed hours of entertainment and education on FOH. Thank you, sir (and all of the cast of characters)!

[maverickdrinker]

Auction site. Put up a box for a certain minimum and have people bid till it closes.

Poker that works on a tablet.

Live statistics of what marcas/vitolas are being bought

Reviews broken out by marca (ie. all Ramon Allones under the Ramon Allones thread, and custom rolls would have their own section)

An alert when friends are online or in theshoutbox with a turn on/ off feature

If a particular vitola is sold out ie. RASCC, having the ability to be notified when new stock arrives

A discount system if you do multiple purchases of or vitola and/or discount for group buys.

An FOH t shirt (large black please:))

Hope this helps

[Scdalak]

Def a better shout box,,,

Also something like "Skype" or a Skype Chat room where members from around the Globe can engage in a "Virtual Herf" with eachother....

[ptrthgr8]

On the new Czar shopping pages, I think it would be great to include ring gauges and length measurements. I'm not entirely familiar with all of the various cigar sizes from each factory, so would appreciate having that info included (rather than needing to pull up a different site in a seperate browser tab to review that info). Also, it would be cool if the order history section included Czar purchases from LFTHs or other non-site purchases. The only purchase that's currently listed in my history is an incomplete order from November 2011. There's be a lot more since then.

Cheers,

Great list thus far Rob.

Here's what I'd like to see.

Closed, by invite only portions of the site. Allows for some privacy of longer established members. And given that you're trying to expand *****INT, it might be a good idea.

Virtual herf capabilities. People logon to a central server, fire up some cigars and shoot the bull. I've seen some people using Google+ Hangouts...I'm not a huge fan of Google myself though.

The "Buy" button is a good idea but I think it could get skewed towards those with faster PC's and connections. The current method adds a human element in that each person has to be on their toes to get the box they want.

Uploadable or site provided templates for writing reviews. Each reviewer can customize it to their preference, etc.

A cigar rating system that people can rate via certain criteria. Something like this.

1. Select a cigar from the list you've just smoked.
2. Enter a box code (if known)
3. Assign a rating for each category.

• Construction 1-10. Draw 1-10, Flavour range 1-20...etc....etc.. maybe other FOH's can help define the criteria. This would be a great way to see what's smoking well.

[Justmi]

I agree with length and ring gauge but would like to add, length in mm and inches please. I also have to refer to another website to check vitola sizes.

A chat room would go down nicely as well.

Great suggestions above and I agree with Frank.

x2 on the privacy aspect. Some things could make some not-so-nice people's job easier

[Ophidion]

A section (sub forum perhaps) for organizing events as to not clutter the watering hole may be a nice feature

[maverickdrinker]

Yes, a Herf thread.

[maverickdrinker]

another idea. An optional space to put your real name in the avatar.

[Marker]

Get Ken in his underpants off the banner.

Site would be 1000% upgraded.

Thanks.

I was a guest of this site for about a year before I became a member, and while an reincarnation of FOH is good forward thinking, if its not broke don't fix it. I'll just say this... don't really care what you do to bring "new" into your business model. BUT please do not stray from your core. Keep picking the best cigar stock on the planet, keep informing your customers of what is smoking good NOW from your warehouse, keep the LFTH going (I miss the Live IN the humidors), keep the video reviews rolling out as much as possible, and providing outstanding service. Personally, that's why I shop at Czar... otherwise it just becomes like the rest. The other stuff I could take it or leave it, not that big a deal to me. Just keep picking the best cigars Rob

However, Franks suggestion of an FOH cigar rating system sounds very cool.

[Cohiba Stevie]

Privatising some of the forum to long standing users is def a bad idea, given some of the difficulties we could be up against as a community this would be going backwards...

I would like to see.

Dedicated ios/android app

Chat room

More vid reviews

Revamping of humidor section to be more friendly to newcomers.

[canadianbeaver]

What is the difference between the Shoutbox and a Chat Room?

[brazoseagle]

1) an aggregated average rating with reviews for each cigar on the czar shopping site.

2) 24hr live Czar Deck Cam

3) A poker platform to play for real money, more than just once a week. And mobile capabilities.

4) More accurate depiction of what is or isn't in stock.

5) More specific details provided in regard to online locker contents.

A way to sort post by the person who started the posting.

[Habanos2000]

i have to echo Dbones comments, I'm very happy with what has been going on and think the core of FOH is about as perfect as I'd like to see. All the rest is window dressing, fun, but not vital.

I would like to see what the best selling cigars for the recent month or so are, maybe even broken down by country. Android or iPad app sounds cool, but not vital. Maybe a "News from Cuba" section, again, cool but not vital. It is hard to improve on a nearly perfect product!

The suggestion of an invitation only portion of the site doesn't sit well with me. I don't see exclusion as an improvement to the community.

Best of luck in the new endeavor!

If I understand you correctly, you can do this now. At the bottom of the forum, click on filter options:

Then set sort by to topic starter:

2) 24hr live Czar Deck Cam

I lol'd hard, co-sign on that.

[CaptainQuintero]

Expanded/Monthly updated of the HQ/PSP/PE sales section of the forum would be great, it could be a good way around the logistical/transport problems of continuing the weekly LFTH
