Popular Post El Presidente Posted September 6, 2023 Popular Post Posted September 6, 2023 Congratulations to Alex Groom on becoming the newest moderator on FOH and as recently being appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and advisor on Bond Roberts. Alex's enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness to engage and share his knowledge is recognised by all. Being a mod on FOH is not hard. You control ken and you are 99% of the way there. CTO and advisor for Bond Roberts is a big role which was magnificently carried out previously by Andy Ryan. There are few people in this world with the requisite cigar/tech/knowledge skillset to carry out such a role. We are blessed. Thank you Alex for taking on these roles. 46 5

Popular Post Puros Y Vino Posted September 6, 2023 Popular Post Posted September 6, 2023 Congrats to @ATGroom how were not a mod already? I can't believe Rob made you publish a whole damn book to get the role?!? 😁 10
benfica_77 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Congrats Alex! All it took was an aknowledgement at the beginning of the book of Rob to become Moderator. I wonder what Ken did to get the title of moderator?....Promise not to play Bruce Springsteen when Rob came over? 3

Popular Post ATGroom Posted September 7, 2023 Popular Post Posted September 7, 2023 Thanks all. I imagine most of you don't know my professional background, but I was a programmer for many years and then co-founder and CTO of a tech start-up from 2016. It cratered during the pandemic and we sold it in 2021. I took some time off, wrote a book, and was ruminating on what step to take next when Rob asked me if I knew any cigar experts with a background in tech leadership. Seemed like a complete no-brainer. I imagine from his point of view the hiring pool with the skillset he needed wouldn't have been much larger than one. As for being a mod, mainly I'm looking forward to being able to read the goss whenever a bunch of posts get deleted.😄 24 1 5
nKostyan Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Congratulations to Alex and Rob on a great deal. In my opinion, FOH is a unique storehouse of knowledge and competencies in the cigar world, not only in the archives of publications, but above all in the members. Of course, one of the main diamonds in the crown of FOH is Alex Groom, who, even before this appointment, actively helped everyone to gain knowledge. 3
Fuzz Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Congratulations, Alex! As the newest Mod, you get to handle Ken for the next 12 months! 1
ha_banos Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Welcome. Maybe you can fix why I can't upload photos any longer here without having to edit them! 😬

Glass Half Full Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Everybody keeps saying “Congrats Alex!” I am thinking, “Congrats Rob!” 1
