Thanks for all the fish :-D

It's been a while coming, but I finally have to admit that I have to give up.
I won't bore you with the health reasons, but it's been suggested to me that it's a rather good idea that I stop if I don't want to shuffle off this mortal coil early.
From my first herf at JJ's/1a in 2014 to now, I've made some good friends and smoked some amazing cigars. (And yes, I've smoked some dog rockets too - but that's how you find the gems!).
So I'd like to say thank you to all the members for their friendship - and also thank you for your support regarding my daughter (speaking of whom, a drug has just been approved after a two and a half year wait that could finally improve things for her!).
I've been selling stuff off for the last year or so in anticipation of having to stop, but still have some stuff to get shot of- not least a wineador and a humidor! So keep an eye out in the for sale section...
Thanks again, to one and all

I’m sorry to hear you are giving up, but some things are far more important than cigars.

I wish you and yours all the the best.

Sorry to see you go! But health and life if more important than luxuries. Great news about the new drug for your daughter, hope it works out well!

[MENTION=13408570]groundhog[/MENTION] - I am really sorry to read this, we both know that you're one of the main sources that fed my obsession when i was first starting out a few years ago, on top of which you have been a great source of information. You're also the only person (so far) that i have actually met in person on this forum, and cigars or not, i feel we will not be losing touch, my goodman!

Wishing you and yours all the best, mate. Really great to read the good news for your daughter (and the rest of the family)!

I have little doubt that you shall soon find a new (expensive) obsession to plunge into - we all need our escapism!

Now watch us vultures circle !!

Dammit Andy, although we never got to meet I feel like a friend has died!

That's because an NC lover has turned his last match in!

Cheers dude
I bet your collection is reaching legendary proportions by now - speaking of which, if you need another wineador, I know of one going cheap
As one door closes, another opens they say.... I just need to find a new door

Sorry dude, but that's what I'm trying to avoid lol (dying - rather than not meeting you lol). And I've talked to you that much, I feel like we have met

Sorry to read this, but as others have said, ones health is more important especially when we have dependants. All the best.

[MENTION=13408570]groundhog[/MENTION], sorry to hear this is why you're selling off your collection but as others have said, health and family come first. Wishing you the best of health and plenty more family time to come.

[Kickback]

Sorry to hear your news. Health and family always come first so you've made the right decision.
Sure doesn't exclude you from socialising with friends you've made through this hobby.
