As for the contest, it looks like someone is already in for a hurting!

Off topic, but... I finally did buy a Montegue yesterday. Thanks for your insights regarding it!

Glad to hear you went with the Montegue. I'm really enjoying filling mine up. Hah, 4 years ain't much of a difference ya geezer.

Congrats on the Anniversary Ji!

Hopefully a year from now the Newb will be telling us how he first got bombed by you!

2 years + 3 days marks the day since I joined ClubStogie.

It would seem so much has changed in the jungle recently. Our habitat is transforming from a Jungle to the Ocean. I'm giving up a hair laden body for fins and spines. I'm okay with that. I enjoy diving as much as I imagine I'd like swinging from tree to tree on a vine.

When I reflect, however, the changes that affect me with regards to ClubStogie are on the surface. At the core of my time spent here, I still talk the same talk I have been for the last 2 years, albeit in brevity for most these days. I've long since put my postwhore ways behind me. :]

The relationships I've fostered over the past two years, (I'm still a newb in the jungle in my eyes) continue to grow and expand regardless of the communication media, i.e. chat clients, posting, email, and phone.

My participation has lessened in the past few months primarily due to the tapering quest to Inventory as many smokes as I can. My budget and storage space dictates this. There are so many fine cigars to smoke in a lifetime that it's almost counter productive to try and get my hands on all of them. :]

With the winter months approaching the number of cigars I smoke on a weekly basis tapers off as well. This is the season where I spend more time reading the latest cigar buzz.

Life in general brings some interesting changes in the last year. Work wise, I'm working in the Status Quo sometimes wondering how the turmoil in the Financial Markets will inevitably affect my workplace (Financial Industry).

After 20 years, this November marks two decades my parents left the United States for Korea, my mother is making plans to re-locate to the United States. Although I'm excited, I'm nervous because there is more planning that I could anticipate after living almost 10K miles away for the last 20 years.

Last July marks the separation from the gal I'd been in a relationship for the 3+ years. Although I'm okay with this. We'd been drifting apart probably for the last year and half, it's still a pretty sudden change.

I've been on some fantastic trips in the last year, a European Holiday, skiing/snowboarding in March, and most recently diving in the Caribbean.

It's odd I share anything on a personal level publicly in a virtual world, but it's a precursor to my resounding belief that I am blessed. Life has it's ups and downs, but if you can live day to day with a smile on your face, then every thing is gonna be okay.

So I say, grab that cigar whether it's you daily go-to, the one you've been sitting on, or something new you've been wanting to try.

Smoke it up, live for today, appreciate days to come, and remember what those things are that are really important to you.

Bless you all...

Really great post Ji. We're all very fortunate to call you a friend & great Mod! Congratulations on a great 2 years!

[ComicBookFreak]

You are one of the good ones Ji glad you are here.

[rizzle]

I think you should bomb a newb. Pick one that has only been here for a couple of days. It will blow their mind. One that has not had time to be included in any cliques.

[JCK]

Without getting into too much detail.. the last time I did that, that newbie picked up some bad habits.

How about this.. whoever wants some cigars, first person to pick out marca and vitola of something I've got in my desktop gets that cigar plus some others.

I guess per day calendar day.

Go.
