Earlier this year (Feburary-May) my fiancee and I where looking for a condo to purchase together to start creating a life together. I stopped being active to focus on my new family and to try to slow down on collecting :)

Late May came around and we finalized all of our plans a took a step into a new life.....

After returning from work a couple weeks later I found the house empty of all but my stuff and a letter; I was stunned. In the weeks that followed I tried to piece together myself without much success and found myself selling all of my stuff and getting out of cigars altogether as it was a constant reminder of when I was happy and for some reason just brought me down.

For the last few months Ive just been sitting; literally, emotionally, and mentally. Its been a hard time and without the imput from the source of the problem, and hard to put peace on the subject.

About a week ago I grabbed the first stick for me since February and sat down to enjoy the moment with my best friend for some quality time and having some discussion and closure on the subject. A moment of clarity followed with the desire and motivation that I once had to be active in both the BOTL community and in cigar collecting renewed.

IVE MISSED YOU GUYS! sorry I had to peace out for a while.

Sorry to vent on ya'll but just trying to explain my absence and flakiness in responses
