Vipe, thank you for the site. Without it we all would not have a place to call home. It is honoring to be a BoM and that group of guys above is a top notch group to say the least.

[indyrob]

It's a great bunch of guys up there, and it's really difficult to pick just one.

Good luck to all you guys...
-Rob

[tobby4]

Vipe, without you putting this site together we would not be up there as the 12... I thank you for putting all of this time into it, we really do appreciate it....

Now, it is an honor to be amoung that list.. the group of guys above is very top notch, i could not pick a better group to be in....

Thanks Again...

[jcgoldner]

Congrats to all! You're all winners in my book!!!

[Wasch_24]

The thanks truely does go to you Vipe. This truly is the best board on the net.

Congratulations to all the other BoMs and good luck! :thumbsup:

[Headbanger]

I can't vote, but wish I could for all of you. Great group.

[Jwrussell]

Being included in such a truly amazing group of Brothers is truly humbling. Congratulations to all...and I hope the winner has room for those Monte Ds in his new humidor. :wink:

Seriously though, good luck to all.

[Greg]

This is a real cool place to be thanks to y'all!

Seriously though, good luck to all.
I'm sure hes gonna have them all neatly labeled and organized if ya know what I mean.

[Jwrussell]

Yeah, I figure the winner's going to be pretty anal. But that's just a guess...of course. :grinFU:

Wish I could have gotten on here immediately after Vipe's post so I could have predicted the landslide right away! LMAO.

[tobby4]

I predicted that one months ago.....but he will win deservingly so.....

[Poni]

Poni will make a come back, the poni-maniacs are waiting for the precise moment to hit the polls!

[cvm4]

Great group of guys up there :wink: Thanks to everyone for making this place what it is fellas! And that goes for every other participating member too!

[Johnny7]

Congratulations to you all for being nominated:applause:

[tubaman]

I'm honored to be mentioned up here with these other fine gentlemen! That's a hard decision, some extremely well deserving people up there. Thanks for setting up the site vipe! This has quickly become a great site!

[tripp]

Congrats to the group of guys on the list. They have each made very important contibutions to this place in the last year. Not just by the words they have typed on here but by the actions they have taken in different situations. My hat goes off to you guys.

Lots of the growth here is a result of the way that the new people are welcomed around here, with open arms instead of a turned back like some places.

Sorry for the ramble.


:stretchgr I just wished I could vote for "White Owl Dave":stretchgr

[schuellk]

There are so many that equally deserve it. And without Vipe's work to set up and keep this board running, there would be no reason for this vote to happen.

[smokem94]

Congrats to all and thank you Vipe for all that you do for us!!!!!!

[Poni]

Congrats to everyone, its an honor to be up there.

[jasontp]

that may have been the hardest decision I've had to make since deciding what to drink last night. Great group of guys, and every one of you deserve to win. Thanks to everyone, seriously I've been welcomed so warmly here, and I can't think of a better place to start with cigars. Thanks Vipe, and thanks goes out to everyone on that list and everyone here!

[Kurtdesign1]

You da man Vipe!
Good luck to you all except Todd. He certainly doesn't need it!!!

[N2Advnture]

Congrats & good luck to everyone nominated!

Yeah, except Todd! :jitb:

[David]

Does Todd know that the winner has to send a stick to each active board member? :dunno:

Seriously though, you could not ask for a finer group of people on that list. I am proud to call each of you a friend and a Brother of the Leaf.

[tobby4]

[tedski]

No, Todd has to send you a White Owl and you MUST smoke it!!

[Wasch_24]

I'll have to contact Dwavs as to where he gets his White Owls from...he has a great source. :hysterica

[joshua]

Are they legit? Could be fakes

[Wasch_24]

Anything is possible, but these seem legit. IMO anyway. :dunno:

[David]

I'll have to contact Dwavs as to where he gets his White Owls from...he has a great source. :hysterica

I'll check with my connection. I think he is getting low on the 12/05 peach ones though.

[Wasch_24]

Who gives a shit about the box code man!? All I ask is you provide the best quality stock available. :hysterica

[David]

Well, if that's the way ya feel...we'll go for the 1/06's then.

[tedski]

No, Todd has to send you a White Owl and you MUST smoke it!!

:sadstare:

Can I get a rubber chicken ... or some x-ray glasses instead?

[caudio51]

Rubber chickens are great. Anything from oriental trading is good!

[cvm4]

Only 1 more day to vote!!!

[Black Dog]

Are they legit? Could be fakes
No man. These are the real deal. Dave's connection (coughhandimartcough) is rock solid. Ships intact too.
The 12/05 Pineapples are smoking great right now. Almost sub-LIME!

[tedski]

OK ... who accidentally voted for me? :squinteye

[Greg]

Are write-in votes allowed?

[Headbanger]

Todd-
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're the best damn brother on this site. This award could not have been won by anyone else and I don't see the 2006 BoY award changing hands either. I'm proud to call you a friend and to be part of this great place that Eric, Dave and you have made like another home (I know you're not admin, but I feel you've done your part for the content as they've done for the genesis & upkeep of this place)

I humbly say You da man, Todd!
