New Facebook Page – PLEASE JOIN AND SHARE
Well, it seems that those people like me that have had the misfortune of their Facebook account and pages disabled/deleted – simply don’t get a response let alone get them back. I even contacted a client of mine that works there, to no avail.
So, I have started over. From 2700 fans to zero overnight.
The new link is active above and I have placed it here in this post as well. PLEASE rejoin and suggest it to all your friends, it really is wonderful for spreading the word of the burning leaf!
Facebook Account Disabled
Tonight, a couple hours ago, for an unknown reason, my Facebook account and Pages were disabled. I have no idea when I will get a resolution from Facebook.
Wonderful.

Site Downtime For Some – FIXED
I strongly apologize for the downtime today some may have experienced. It seems my registrar decided to screw up some DNS settings and in effect turned my site off for a few hours. I didn’t see it happen on my end until just this afternoon, but it was down for some many hours before that.
It has been fixed now and should not happen again.
2010 Los Blancos Stogies & Stout Highlights
These are highlights from the 2010 Los Blancos Stogies & Stout event – over 30 craft beers and a dozen fine cigars were on tap for a record breaking crowd at the Dunedin Brewery in Dunedin, FL last night! Participants got custom glassware, free cigars and all the beer they could drink for 4 hours with a great band, awesome food and top-shelf smokes with both Cesar Blanco and Sean Williams of Los Blancos and Primer Mundo on site to help with selections and pairings!
Thank You Mark Torterotot!
Mark sent in these two lovely sticks for review – a Padron Delicias Maduro and a Jose Marti Remedios! Reviews to come!

Cigar Obsession YouTube Video Contest – Free Cigars & Swag
EDIT – CLOSED
OK boys & girls, we have a new giveaway contest for the New Year! Up for grabs is over $100 in cigars, at least 10 premium smokes plus some swag!
How to win this treasure trove you ask? Easy! It’s a 2 step contest for this haul:
Step 1: Make a video somehow involving CigarObsession.com. It can be anything you like, but for your sake it better be popular! Think out of the box, think viral. Funny, Serious, Parody – it’s all good as long as it relates to the site. Get it made and get it up on YouTube. After it’s live post the link here and I’ll add it in this thread.
Step 2: This is how you win! Whoever gets the most YouTube comments (one per person counted) on their video takes home the stash! It will be up to you to get your vid noticed and get people to comment (tip – use your video content). On March 1st 2010 I will tally the numbers and announce the winner. Now for those thinking of cheating don’t bother. Whoever puts that kind of effort in to getting real results will blow away any cheater by 10x. Keep it fair guys!
NOTE: This contest is open to those 19 or older in the US and Canada only.
Good luck!
