I encountered the same issue yesterday too. We have issues like this here at work from time to time as well and it's either our security guy mucking up firewall rules, or it's a provider DNS issue.

I hesitate to guess what the problem was without more information, but the fact that this site has been working quite well for the couple of years I've been coming to it regularly and is working perfectly again today makes me think it was a the hosting company's issue, not a cigarsmokers.com issue.

It's funny how quickly it frustrates me when I can't access a favorite website or forum. I was not too happy yesterday when it was taking forever to respond........lol...........but I was pretty sure it wasn't cigarsmokers even while it was happening.
