Greetings UKCF member and Happy New Year!
Under the strict guidance of don TJ, I came to the UKCF back in June of this year with the sole purpose of learning as much as I could about cigars and the folks who smoke ?em. So, it is with mixed emotions that I announce on the last day of the year that I have completed this task and been invited by don TJ to join him and the Coros as they navigate across the dark sea of awareness into the unknown and perhaps, even the unknowable. But to be honest, I?m a wee big frightened to be leaving the cozy comfort of the UKCF. Yet at the same time, I?m excited to embark on a new journey, a magical, mystical journey, if you will, into a separate reality.
As a final gesture and to conclude my journey here, I would like to thank all those who kindly helped me along the way or, played along, in my quest for cigar knowledge. Without your wise counsel and support, I would, no doubt, still be smoking cigars with the cellophane on and storing them in the refrigerator! (LOL) It has been an honor to be part of the UKCF family and post alongside of folks like CJ121, PJ, Simon Bolivar, El Catador and the one known as buttermeballs, just to name a few! My only regret is not being able to persuade more of the old timers and founding fathers to come back and post up again. They have a lot of wisdom they could share with the newer members. But, in the end, I guess it's like what pappy Coro used to say?."the winds-of-change is a continual process."
So, for the time being, don TJ?s confidant and BFF, don Genero, along with someone known as bbthebot, will stay behind to serve as a beacon for the Coros and tend to the upkeep of the Coro hacienda. They will also keep vigil over the UKCF and don TJ?s account, should he ever decide to return.
I wish all of you a happy and prosperous New Year and, above all?.PEACE!
