Cuban Cigar Website Update

[Trevor2118]

Earlier today (7th December 2016) a devastating outage at the data centre that hosts Cuban Cigar Website resulted in a total loss of all data relating to the site - the database, user data, thousands of images etc.

Alex is currently working with the data centre staff, as well as going through his own backups, to see what can be salvaged.

The website will be down until further notice.

Nooooooooooooooooo!

[Baldy]

Nooooo!  Oh God Noooo!

Ouch!!! That's a horrible start to the Christmas season Trevor and Alex.

Hope you can recover most. It's a treasure that will be missed while offline

[strikethebox7]

Nooooo! But I trust Alex and others will make it right

All the best and I hope it is not as bad as thought

Just makes me realize how much I rely on the site.  I'm on it nearly every day dreaming about my next acquisitions.

Best of luck with the recovery guys.  You do a great service to the community with your site.  Thank you!

My heart goes to out to you and Alex. 

if you need any outside help with tech staff etc, I volunteer my own. Just touch base mate.

Thanks for the support guys. The issue is at the data centre level, so unfortunately there's not a lot I can do technically... I am sending them a lot of emails though. At the moment things look pretty grim, but I remain hopeful that we'll get some kind of recovery. Will give you updates when I have them.

Trevor and Alex,

Having spent hours talking about Cuban Cigar Website with you both, I am devastated by this news. I'll be in touch.

Best of luck with the repairs. 

Such a valuable service to the community

I am genuinely saddened by this announcement--the site is beyond legendary status.  Good luck to you guys.

Based on my extensive conversations with our IT department, I'd suggest passing along these suggestions to the data centre:

1. Ctrl+Z

2. Restarting the computer

3. Unplugging the router for no less than 30 seconds, then plugging it back in.

 

All joking aside, I was just getting the lay of the land on the website cruising for 48 RG cigars of different marcas. Tons of valuable information on the site and I hope all the data can be recovered soon!

This is truly a great loss to the community if the worst is true...hoping for the best on this one.

Looks like Dusky Beauties is down too

Don't know how much more tragedy I can take right now...

[jay8354]

Sorry for the news, hope recovery is swift and fruitful.

Hope the DataCentre can assist.

Terrible news! Hope you are able to recover as much as you can.

Sad news -- Cuban Cigar Website is such a great resource.  Good luck on getting the site restored.

 

It's a little clunky but you can access snapshots of CCW through the Internet Archive.

Have been using CCW and corresponding every once a while with Trev and Alex long before I came here. Such a terrible news.

All the best to you guys!! Hope this is turning out better than it seems right now. Good luck!

 

[Ryan]

Best of luck with this. The stuff of my nightmares. Hopefully there's a backup somewhere.

[ayepatz]

So sorry to hear this. Terrible news. Fingers crossed that you recover as much as possible.
