Who was the last CS member who really impressed you?

[Mr.Maduro]

For me it's always first and foremost.......

Squid...

papajohn67.....

and

68Trishield.....


for all the work they do for the troops!!! :u





You guys will never truly understand the appreciation, admiration, and complete respect I have for what you do!!!

[SmokeyJoe]

For me...
SmokeyScotch and Aladdin Sane. Both are fantastic BOTLs that are more than generous. :ss

[screwbag]

I gotta agree on Smokeyscotch...Really a good guy!


Others worth mentioning:

AuraDefect
Smoked
RJT
Silhanek
DonWeb - Awesome!!!

and several more have made my time here wonderful!!

[cricky101]

Snowy - He doesn't speak up all that much on the board, but when he does it's usually worth taking note (just look at his ratio of ring gauge to post count.) He's one of the most generous BOTLs with whom I've had the experience to interact. :tu

[Jbailey]

Everyone at the Mega Mob Herf. Was my first herf with the gorillas and was great!

[68TriShield]

For me it's always first and foremost.......

Thanks Patrick,but remember there's so many members that contribute it makes it easy for us.
Quite a few folks don't want to be recognized for what they do,it's those gorillas that i am impressed and humbled by...:u

[Deuce]

txdyna65 was the first by bombing a new BOTL for no reason. (once again, I appreciate it. But there have been many others already:

Pathman
Shaerza

[montecristo#2]

Someone named Mr.Maduro really impressed me a couple of days ago. :tu


After I finished :c about my apartment being destroyed, everything was good. :D :r

Patrick, thanks again for the cigars, flat out awesome and incredibly generous. The only problem, I am not sure the RC233 will fit into my travel humidor! :confused:

[icehog3]

So many over the past couple years the list would be too long to fit on the page.

Most recently? Stewart (tech-ninja). He stepped up to the plate at the beginning of the MMH to do whatever he could to help the MoB get it runnng smoothly....just because that's the kind of guy he is.

[JPH]

Catfish, because of the rarity of the N/C stuff he's been bombing...A new-er guy really stepping up to the plate here at CS.

[King James]

Tony (Donweb) for all he did w/ the NST

[kenstogie]

[publicspeakingnerd]

Well, you have all impressed me!

But, specifically:

King James-He's have sort have been a mentor for me and I really appreciate it, bro:ss

and newcigarz cuz you got good tastes and I am still cleaning up the damage your little bomb left on my apartment doorstep!!!!

[Papichulo]

This is really tough to answer and since I have only been around for six months. I could make a list of at least 20-30 gorillas. One that continues to be a good friend, which I have not seen for a few months is Papajohn. Reggiebuckeye impressed me today with a big bomb...

[taltos]

I am going to give a real simple answer: The last person that I interacted with and had an intelligent conversation with. I have been attracted to this place by the quality of most of the people even more so than the cigars or bombs or any of the other peripheral activities around here. It's nice to have a place for intelligent interaction where my occasional old fart grouchy days are tolerated.:ss

Took the words right out of my mouth:r could not have said it better . the gorillas here are the best and the most understand and kind folks on the net

[RETSF]

Tough question to answer.....to which it cannot be centered on one individual. Most all in the jungle add something to every thread, all are always well thought out, some you agree with some you don't but all-in-all everyone is a plank owner on that one.

[KASR]

Eternal Rider for the gracious berfday bombage he recently stomped me with.

[TMoneYNYY]

RPLoa... sorry, force of habit.

There have been a LOT of them, lately, and it makes me appreciate this place more and more. Smoked, Jimmay (boonedoggle), Paul (alarmguy1), Tony (Twill413), and KASR have all sent me stuff... this place is pure shenanigans!

[Ivory Tower]

Fredster (Fred) and 68TriShield (Dave)

[reggiebuckeye]

I can't give a full answer to this until my bombs are delivered. I have interacted with so many wonderful people here. It is hard to pull out a name and say on or two. I am amazed at all of the things people put together and run just because. They don't do it for any recognition. They do it because they want to. I admire that. This is the only community I have been a part of online that I just talk about forever. You guys are AWESOME.

I will reiterate what some of the gorillas before me have said.

I can't name any 1, 2 or even 30 people who have impressed me. To name just the last would essentially leave out so many others who do on a daily basis.

IMHO, you would have a much smaller list if you named this thread "Who is unimpressive/annoying"

I may be able to come up with 1 or 2 names for that one.:rolleyes:

This is a great community and filled with people who would give a limb to help out. I am just happy to be a part of it.

[volfan]

All of the people involved with the efforts for the troops.

Vic and the people that contributed to his newbie giveaway contest

Frank and John for the tag-team newbie giveaway

Paul and the Mods for their tireless effort

And all of the members for being part of a great family.

Then there are all the Banter guys-Tom, Vic, Drifty, Dave, Dave and Dave...and his other brother Darrel...And Jon! My generous botl from SoCal...stop it stop it! I can't name every darn gorilla here...can I?

the "last" CS member to impress me?

kheffelf - not because he recently overpayed his portion of the pipe tobacco lottery. nope, it's for all his hard work in getting the 2007 ClubStogie forum pipe under control and they're being worked on as we speak. he's done a great job handling all that, including the pissing and moaning from fellow gorillas because they didn't like the shape/stem/whatever...
i'd bump him again if i could, very well deserved.

the next to last was?
rjs - yes, the co-founder of clubstogie. not because he managed to stand upright after so many martini's at the chicago herf, but his passion for keeping clubstogie "snob-free" and the work he and many elders put into CS back in the day, and that vibe still rings true today.

the firsts to impress me?
fredster, poker, motheman, drill, seagarsmoker, bruce5, mcgoospot, dvickery, lamar, brandon, and countless other guys who helped me when i was new here with their own cigar experiences - and they weren't SNOBS about it or looking for recognition from the masses.

[Twill413]

Can't answer that. It's kinda like asking a parent who their favorite child is, or having two friends present and having them ask who your best friend is. Most Recently, it was Booker. I just mentioned how I needed the stinky, and a few days later, its sitting on my deck. Guess I just answered it...interesting

[Da Klugs]

I was in the head at MMH next to Icehog3 and sneezed, happened to look over and holy god....

Thanks, that makes me feel good being somewhat of a newbie. I didn't even think anyone would remember my name on here.

I'd make a list but I'd be afraid I would accidently leave someone out, so many generous BOTL's here. :D

[SpurNubber]

As a newb, I would be remiss if I didn't say that I've been impressed with the entire board so far. I appreciate the open arms of the BOTL's. To be specific I have been impressed with my first trade interaction with smokeyscotch; he has been more than helpful. I have also been impressed with reggiebuckeye and cigar 040. Both of these guys granted more than my wish in the make a wish thread, of which I wasn't even expecting my wish to be granted. Thanks for making me feel welcome. You guys will not be forgotten ;)

[dadof3illinois]

I've not been around much the past few months so the last CS member who really impressed me was the L-Ville Herf crew. You guys ROCK!!!

The first people around here that REALLY impressed me was Coppertop and IHT. Two guys that took this CS newbie under their wings and helped me along. Thanks guys!!!!

[CeeGar]

I'd have to say Squid and pnoon. Squid for everything he does to get smokes to guys that need that break more than any of us and helping me along with the info to pitch in a bit. And pnoon for staying on top of things and trying to help folks with useful information in his posts, he's always insightful. These guys are just the latest in a long line for me. There's great info here if everyone will be patient and polite. :tu

[cman78]

Yook - really caught me off guard.
KASR - I have not traded with him or anything of the sort but he has had the best contests in my mind and gave me my best wallpaper ever. Plus just watching from the vines he's a real role model for newbies

and of course Addiction - I stare at the screen just shaking my head in amazement more at him than anyone else.

[fireman43]

So many have had a lasting impression on me during my time in the Jungle. I could never list them all, but there are a few that I have really became close to and value their opinions and advice very much.
txdyna65...Kenny is probably the person I am closest to here at CS. We have bombed each other, traded back and forth, carried on numerous conversations via PM, etc... He is a top notch Gorilla, and someone I consider a friend.
volfan....Scottie was my very first trade here in the Jungle, and since then has really been a role model to me and countless others. He's a stand up guy and someone I also consider a friend.
icehog3...Tom...What can I say about Tom other than the fact he is one of the finest in the Jungle with a sense of humor to match his heart of gold. Truly an asset to CS who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
68TriShield....Dave is as good as they come, and always willing to listen and offer suggestions, not to mention getting me on Skype with the earphone mic that first night, and riding me until I got a headset.
pnoon...Peter is a great role model and an awesome MOD who doesn't let that title go to his head. He does an excellent job of keeping on top of things here in the Jungle. His opinion I value and highly respect.
Countless others here have impressed me at one time or another since I've been here, but the five above stand out the most for me.

Bruce: not only is he worldly known for his cigar knowledge, but he's taken up the pipe full force. that's not the impressive part. he's been helping newbies left and right with his info (that he's dug up himself in his own quest for knowledge), and gifting tobacco for newbies to try. he may be personally responsible for 10+ new pipe smokers in the past handful of months.
yes, he smokes the good stuff, he pampers himself with great pipes, but he's not a snob about it - that's what he likes and can afford, so why not. then, if he finds something isn't to his liking, he'll offer it up, tobacco or pipes, for sale to the members of the pipe forum.

2nd, and this is just this morning - bonggoy: he's been running the "pipe tobacco make a wish" very smoothly, it's a hit for us down there, a lot of ppl are getting to try a few bowls of tobacs that they've really been wanting before they buy a tin.

there are tons of members in the pipe forum that i'm grateful to be a part of it all with them.

oh, blake lockhart: not for the newbie trades.. well, that too, but for bucking up and standing his ground in some recent comments. it showed a passion and lots of pride in the pipe forum. i'm sure the pride has come from all the work that he's personally put into running the newbie sampler trade for pipe tobacco. it's great to see the passion for "our pipe forum" from the guys that have helped make it great.

so, let that also be a warning: i'll put blake lockhart on yo' ass if you come acting a fool down there. :tu

Well, I know this may seem a little biased, BUT, the last CS member who really impressed me was my husband, Txdyna65. Afterall, he was the one who introduced me to CS, and were it not for him, I wouldn't have met some of the nicest guys and gals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Since Txdyna65 has been a member of CS, I've seen some pretty amazing things takes place. Along with the amazing packages that have shown up at our house, (or what's left of it after these things detonate), I've had to proud honor of being able to take part in sending contributions to our troops. That in its self is awesome.

I could take up an entire page going on about the good people I've met on this site. The sense of community you guys demonstrate is unlike anything I've ever seen, alot of you have yet to meet in person, but talk to each other like you've been friends since childhood, that's pretty cool.

Dave (68TriShield) - Their is so much good stuff to say about this man. Even after his father passed away and he kept on trucking with the troop donations. Yesterday he spent quite a while with me on Skype and I had my first phone/video call with Dave. He has talked to me about tons of sticks and we compared stuff like our opinons on Monticristo Platinums. Dave is the epitome of unselfishness, he's a stand up guy 110%.

Ji - The guy has taught me tons about all kinds of different sticks as well as chatted with me about BS and stuff I'm sure he could careless about. He taught me a ton about Poker and told me about some different games to play. He's a top notch BOTL and I'm proud to call him a friend.

Dave (68TriShield) - Their is so much good stuff to say about this man. Even after his father passed away and he kept on trucking with the troop donations. Yesterday he spent quite a while with me on Skype and I had my first phone/video call with Dave. He has talked to me about tons of sticks and we compared stuff like our opinons on Monticristo Platinums. Dave is the epitome of unselfishness, he's a stand up guy 110%.

That's all for me. :D

I used to voice with Sean and Tanner all the time...has been awhile...maybe stop in to see who's on tomorrow night.

hey pete, it was all a conspiracy. we knew you had $$, so we hooked you up so you could hook us up later on down the line. :tu
there's no such thing as a free lunch, or even a lunch that's included in a trade for some red ribbon '96. :D

edit: it's always good to see some ppl post reasons other than "he bombed the sh*t outta me".

so, the last person(s) to impress me were... a phuqueload of pipe forum members who have made a lot of graphics and then voted on the best ones that will wind up being the label for the pipe tobacco we had made. namely DubInTheDam, mmblz, horrorview - for their excellent graphics work.

My top gorilla in the jungle is this lady that posted this... right here.. Marianne RAWKS. Having met and herfed with her in person, and her being generous with the smokes at said herf, and just being an all around GREAT Gal, is why she gets my vote.

REALLY impressed me.

It impressed me so much that after I heard about it at the herf, I had to go home and tell my wife about it. I'm sure that she thinks that Lifetime needs to make a movie about it - she really needs to meet Chad and Doug before thinking like that.

It was well played on both parts and one of the billions of reasons why CS is one of the greatest places on the internet.
