What if Club Stogie didn't exist?

[Sandman]

I just felt that I needed to say that I find it so interesting what this forum has done to all of our lives if i may speak in generality. This is a place that I turn to everday for so many things. Obviously we found this out of a love for cigars and to learn more about them. But, it has turned into so much more for me. New friends, new respect for people in general, and new appreciation for how we all react to different things. The respect level here is like something I never see in day to day life. I log in as much as I can for some reprieve from day to day life and to find a comfort level that is not found in any other format. I have found enjoyment on so many levels and from so many different things that have nothing to do cigars although that is still the main reason I am here. Imagine that! It is almost a life experience and I wonder how my life would be different without Club Stogie. Whether you are a noobie or a FOG we all contribute to make this place to be what it is as a whole. So think about it, how would your life be different without this place? I'm not trying to be sappy but I just realized how it has affected me.

i'd have more hair/less gray.
i'd have all those projects done around the house.
my wife would have a smile on her face (shut-up).
i'd be a lot less informed on cigars/pipes (if i wasn't on any forums, that is, not just CS).
i wouldn't know how to "photoshop" as well as i do now.
i wouldn't be up at 11:15pm on a friday night, with an empty beer bottle, skype window open, and tons of sh*t left to do on to my "to do" list before i catch a plane sunday morning.

If CS didn't exist, I'd be richer. This site and the people behind it really help you get the most enjoyment possibe out of this hobby though.

It'a all downhill after your first 6 months.

What would I have done if CS didn't exist...

Sleep more
Not be as fat
Missed out on meeting some great people.

I believe the part I missed out on, and this may be the most important, is to thank the guys responsible for the forum. So I say thanks so much guys!

I would probably have more money and less cigars, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't own three humidors.

Though the biggest loss would be the great guys and gals I've met here.

[TechMetalMan]

I would be smoking once every week or so. Not 3+ times a week.
I'd have more money.
I wouldn't realize that there are a lot more very generous and respectful people still left in the world.
I might still be smoking acids!

Thanks CS!

Nothing like an online forum full of people with common interests. I always tell my friends to join forums. Truely is the way to go.

This is what Al Gore was talking about in the 90's.

-I'd feel more isolated than I already do(sometimes)
-Missed out on knowing alot of great people
-know much less about coffee

[Blaylock]

Without Club Stogie, I would:

-probably only have one job.
-use my cooler for beach snacks and refreshments.
-still have a wife!
and
Without Club Stogie I would stay up all night worrying if I should have kept my cigars in the cellophane or taken them out.

All kidding aside, CS is a great place to meet people who share the passion for this hobby!

Without Club Stogie

- I would get more work done at work
- I would get more work done around my home
- I would have never have met so many nice people
- I wouldnt have this big of a humidor

[kkc]

Without Club Stogie...

- I wouldn't know squat about cigars
- I wouldn't care about not knowing squat about cigars
- I wouldn't be smoking cigars 4 to 5 times a week
- I wouldn't be smoking cigars

Thank God I found Club Stogie! CS has saved me from an ignorant, boring life with no real purpose!

I wouldn't be here.

Never mind the education I would have missed out on; I would have missed the chance to get to know some truly awesome people. That would have been sad.
