asmith Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks heaps for the kind words guys, had to close the door to my office and have a little cry. Yes it is time for me to take my Wookie costume and move on. The long and the short of it is I am chasing a girl to the other side of the world and we will see what happens. Feel free to add whatever stupid comments like about that in there, you guys have never held back so why should the last day be any different. Fuzz where the hell did you find that picture of me with a beard, cigar, cigarette and red wine? Sums up Czars in one photo right there. It is hard to leave, just this morning Rob, Di and I were in fits of laughter over stupid comments on the cigar review by Ken, Rob's dumb attempt to set up a fish feeder and an over cooked steak from the pub last night. That's what I will miss, good times here, good friends and good laughs. Although I will not be working here I will always return to the deck for a cigar. Lisa dropped in this week to bring me lunch and say good bye, I will be able to drive up to Redcliffe now and have lunch with you and little Dom. Please look after Di for me. You may not realise it but she works stupid long hours for you guys and genuinely loves you all most of you. A nice email or asking how her day is going when you place an order makes a world of difference and I ask that you all take that extra 19 seconds in your emails to make Di's day. The other thing is now that I am out and about I can come and knock on your doors around the world and if you have not been good to Di it won't be a friendly knock on the door. She has made me lunch for the last 5 years in an attempt to fatten me up so be good to her. We have added some great innovation in the world of cigars, the LFH and LFTW have allowed all of you to choose out some great cigars. Some days the amount of bloody in the water is amazing, and guys missing out on cigars because they got tied up in a meeting, dinner, traffic, slow internet connections made me laugh. But lets face it the most important thing we have done is the video reviews. Somehow people take us seriously, like we knew what we are talking about. Just a bunch a drunks taking the piss out of each other and putting it on YouTube. I guess we did get credibility when we told you exactly what we thought of some cigars and told you not to buy them. There were times when I had to wade through hour of rubbish raw video data just to find a bit of gold. But the truth be known there was always more gold than I could squeeze into the 10min reviews. Rob and I have changed the world so many times on the deck, that we actually changed it back to where we started. I have already missed the rocking chairs from the old deck and will miss the arvos on this deck. There is a lot more I can say here but I think Thanks Rob is enough. And thank you guys, your support and abuse over the years has been like a warm blanket. I will hopefully share a cigar with you all one days soon.
