Popular Post Puros Y Vino Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just got word a few days ago, that Derrek aka dvickery on FOH and a few other cigar forums has passed away. He was quietly battling cancer. I never knew the gentleman personally but have enjoyed his posts here and elsewhere. He was a treasure in terms of CC knowledge and experience. For those that new him personally, my condolences, May he Rest if Peace with an endless cajon of his favourite cigar by his side. 7 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just referencing some great information from an internet search from Derrek this morning from 2006! Derrek, your wealth of information will be much missed!

MrGinger Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I smoked a number of cigars with Derrek at his second home - the patio at the Comodoro hotel. He was always on the hunt for Boli Bonitas. RIP Brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChanceSchmerr Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 So very sad to hear this. Derrick was a lovely gentleman. I met him in Havana while there for Havanathon a couple of years ago. He wasn't there for the events, just liked to go to enjoy himself and smoke cigars. I took a cab out to the Comodoro, we met in the terrrace and just sat, talked and enjoyed fine coronas and petit coronas. We spoke of our military backgrounds, and just - connected, it was just a relaxing afternoon. Before parted, we exchanged the kinds of cigars we love. He gave me a rare old RyJ Celestiales Finos, I gave him a Corona (my memory escapes me of which marca). I always thought I'd see him again, in Alberta or again in Cuba, but I guess it was never meant to be. It hurts to lose these members of our community, particularly those with whom we make a connection, who share not only the fondness for cigars, but for the particulars - the sizes, the flavours, etc. He will be sorely missed. We'll see each other again, mate. I'll keep a corona at the ready for you! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
