It looks like they're carrying on the tradition, lol.
Back then I was just a noob buying a fiver or so from the shpo once or twice a week.
If I remember right, my main cigars back then were Padron Londres/2000, Avo classics and RP 1990 .
My first experience from puff is about the time I started here in 2014. I saw a wineador on there and wanted one, so I built it and showed it on there. Shortly after, I started reading some threads here, and saw everyone busting each others balls, posting hot chicks, playing poker for cigars and betting football games... I was like, ya, that's more my speed.
Only reason I went back was I followed gummy over from one of his posts to see wtf he was talking about, then ended up recovering my password and posted a few things.
As soon as I got a post deleted and a warning about tits, I knew the place was trash (didn't take long). At that point, it was a race to the bottom, I was curious how long it would take me to get banned... not long obviously, lol. I've always had a knack for getting kicked off forums... fast fingers I guess.
That's some interesting history though, I've read stuff off other forums, but you guys are the best, and probably the only ones who would have me lol.
