On my part, it's been like feeling I'm a part of something. To me, smoking cigars isn't just about enjoying the stick, although that is important. It's a form of camaraderie. Of my local friends, only one smokes cigars. Up here there are a couple of places advertised as cigar bars, but they really aren't. The only time I get to enjoy that sense of belonging is when I go to Pittsburgh and visit my other buddy. There's a place down in the Strip District that we like to go to. All mismatched furniture and the owner is a hold-over from the '60's, but it is absolutely comfortable and you feel at home there. That's the feeling that I got when I stumbled onto this site. I felt at home and comfortable here. I want to dive in and be a part, but even though nobody has said it, dues have to be paid and trust earned. But enough of this sappy horse shit. I've been lucky enough to be included in my first pass and I'm glad to be a member of CP.
