The official Christmas thread...Merry Christmas!

[El Presidente]

Smithy Lise and I are winding down. What a year...one which we will finalise at our local FOH lunch on Thursday afternoon which will no doubt drag well into the early hours of Friday.

We can't thank you enough. From our dinners in NY February, Las Vegas July, two Havana tours, countless hours chatting online or in the humidor, cigars on the deck, football parties, horse racing parties, poker nights, strippers, bail, Cuban cigar rollers, hangovers, weddings, births, marital advice (none helped), Smithy's moustache, hunting in Arnhemland, fishing tours, Fat Bastid competition, NFL Comp, Poker comp, the countless review you have submitted and finally your shameless brown nosing of Lisa.

The three of us have laughed each and every day and have come to realise more than ever as to how special our FOH family is.

Our club creed is " Friendship, Laughter, Fraternity, Loyalty....life is not a dress rehearsal"

Our only two rules are:

Rule 1: No Tossers, No wankers"

Rule 2: Refer rule 1

Our creed has served us well and in many ways you are the gatekeepers who have guarded against many of the divides that have unfortunately befallen many good people in the online cigar community.

You have all contributed in building something special. Something that has touched us in a way you could never imagine possible and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It would be remiss not to thank Chuck (Tampa) and Ken (reluctantly) for their good humour, insight and immense contribution as moderators. One can never have enough good friends.

From our family to yours , we wish you a happy, holy and safe Merry Christmas...and a prosperous New Year filled with opportunity and merriment.

Cheers guys and gals. It has been great to be a part of not just a virtual community, but also a real community with plenty of opportunities to meet up and share a cigar or three!

It has been a sincere pleasure reading, learning, contributing as well as an occasional Moderation. Actually, the members of this Cigar Community have proven to be very easy to work with as Rule No.1 sums up what is expected by Rob and the crew.

I look forward to 2007, with many more reviews, laughter and fun! Thank you to everyone here. May 2007 bring everyone, health, wealth, happiness and many more excellent Habanos for all of our Friends, especially our Friends Of Habanos!
