Boy, I was almost young back then!

Wow, looked a little different before I joined 5yrs later.

Very cool fine.
[Reply]

Man there were some good times there....:-)
[Reply]

Great times here though!
[Reply]

That's before my time. Wow. Thanks for sharing that. :-)
It's always cool to go back and see what things used to be like.

It is true...the "red-named ones" were newbies once, too!:-)
[Reply]

Yah... except poker was far from a noob at that point.
[Reply]

That's pretty cool:-)

Graphics, or lack there of, are still better than p***.com.

I had to get to page three of the World Cigar Lounge before I found the cello on/off debate.
[Reply]

I would say better times here..lol:-)
[Reply]

Poker was born a FOG. :-)
[Reply]

Wow, talk about the old days :-)


Everyone was a noob at one time. Hell, with new cigars & blends coming out frequently, new cutters, new lighters, etc, I still consider myself a noob in many areas.
[Reply]

If you're still a noob, then I have no hope.
[Reply]

Cool.
[Reply]

Very cool...! :-)

I came along much later... and I gotta say - I truly love being here in this asylum (as in "haven"), but I miss Louie. :-)
[Reply]

Cheer up Joe. You may not have Louie around as your mascot, but now you have me. I think Tom wants to designate me as CA's poster boy.
I seem to fit the bill pretty well. You've seen the photos...
All someone needs to do is photoshop me into a straight jacket and we have ca's new mascot.

Ah, the good ol' days. I bet you guys didn't know it, but Poker used to be a baseball star:.

Yup, he was a pretty good catcher for the Giants back in his day. Unfortunately he got knocked up and had a baby out of wed-lock:Attachment 2194.

Well all that squatting and the carousing really ruined his knees, and what with a child and all, he had to give up baseball.
He went into "show business" on the streets of San Fransisco to support his new son,



That worked to put cigars on the table and raise his son right. Eventually, though, his son got into the wrong crowd, and unfortunately got sent up on weapons charges in Compton. Once his son finally got out of prison, his son was never the same

But Poker has things in perspective and now spends his day quietly modding a cigar board and slowly going through his stash of vintage cigars. If you're ever in Westminster, Ca, on a sunny Sunday morning, you can sometimes see him on the street corners, just for old times sake, selling contraband cigars and testing the Rh of dogrockets



:-) Ah, the good old days




(kudos to IHT, Andyman, backwoods and Aaron for the photoshops)

Bastage. Just wait till you & your skin flavored denture cream show up at SoCal. :-) :-)
