Well, back at the end of October, Yaro picked up Tele and gifted to JGRAZ. However, it seems Yaro's scarpered off again so I don't think Tele ever got sent cigars. So, I see it as Tele still being up, but I bow to the will of the community

Democratically speaking. From an order of operations standpoint, the Tele receives cigars step was never completed. Which I suppose places my vote as Tele still up. Which puts the PIB in favor of Tele being up democratically also.

Yes he has, and his monumental decision is worthy of a gifted turn.

I'm picking up Tele and gifting to SOB Herfing

After dealing with all of you guys for the last few years I've lost all semblance of what NOOB hits are.
That Kalavera is an IGM cigar. Big MF'r for sure.
As for thanking me, pay it forward

Nice, John.

My package landed too. Damages tomorrow. Glancing through it, I can reaffirm that John definitely doesn't know what a noob hit is.

John´s damage has been recorded in my list of the many people on here I owe retribution. First, John can´t count worth a chit, which is apparently par for the course around here. No wonder we struggle so with the Whatcha Smokin thread. Second, the only thing ¨noob¨ about this is that I feel like a noob getting smacked around. And third, thank you, John. These are some excellent smokes, many I have never had and am very interested in, some that I have only had one, and some old favorites. Good stuff.

1. Padrón 4000 Maduro (I think) (nh this vitola). From 2023. I might seriously just spark this baby up tonight if I have time.
2. Oliva Black Swan torpedo. I think I´ve only had one of these.
3. Camacho Connecticut romusto (nh)
4. SD Manzanita toro
5. DBL Amarillo torpedo (nh). Beautiful barbar pole
6. CAO Arcana Mortal Coil toro (nh)
7. BLTC Bishop´s Blend lancero(ish) (nh)
8. Warped Sky Moon? corona gorda (nh, although I have a few resting), using the same band for different cigars is dumb. What is this, John?
9. Mil Días Maduro toro (nh)
10. Flor de Oliva toro. Been a loooong time, and I´m looking forward to it.
11. LFD La Volcado toro (nh)
12. Curivari RL Reserva 3000 toro (If I have had, it was only one, and not this vitola)
13. Cohiba Black romusto
14. Plasencia Reserva 1898 romusto
15. Ashton VSG corona gorda

And, a cool azz little Visol cutter made of metal with the Plasencia logo, and a deck of cards from the Page. You guys are getting some sweet swag out of them. Jeebs sent me some key rings and stuff the other day from them with some bands he had saved for me. They don´t send me the good stuff. Bastids.

Awesome hit, John!

My pleasure Lee. Wanted to make sure you were well settled in the new home.
The Padron is Maduro 4k
The Warped? Honestly i can't remember which one I sent. Sky moon has Black in the band, Cristales has white. If that helps. If not, I'll send you my number and you can text me a pic
The swag.....I order way to much and I'm drowning in some of this stuff so it's time to share

Hope you enjoy everything

This seems like a fun event. But the terms are about as clear as mud. I guess 17 years could even do that to a bocce match. Do I get initiated if I send someone a blind 5er? Who's catching currently? These long lists aren't really conducive of n00bage....but neither are the joined dates.

So, noob PIB is how one builds trade cred, and is arguably the source of most consistent trade on the forum. Read page 1 for details, but this is the clif notes.

1 Someone asks "Who wants to send me some smokes?"
2 Another picks that person up and sends a "5er" of their "noob" smokes.
3 Then that person asks The Question and on it goes.

Early on in trade life, we require a tracking # posted before asking, but once one's shown themselves to follow through on trades, you can see we get several rounds into it on credit.

Reasons the lists are confusing are because we can't count for chit, and we clearly aren't great at judging what a noob smoke is. We also have a bad habit of asking the question for someone else when we're up, a.k.a. gifting a turn.

Jespear is currently up. If you want to jump in, post that you'll pick him up. You'll likely have to PM him for address info as I'm sure he's not aware he's up. He may or may not get a little grumbly for that reason

The "rulz" are interpreted and enforced in a very lax manner except when they are not.

Essentially, if you want to participate, send the person who is "up" at least a 5ver. Most of these people can't count worth a chit. Theoretically, that is all that is required. Theoretically, it is supposed to be a 5ver of noob cigars because this thread is theoretically meant to help new people get into the swing of things trading cigars and earning some credibility that they are not going to receive but refuse to send.

After the recipient posts their list of what you sent, it's your turn to receive cigars from whomever picks you up. Sometimes people send but don't want to receive (bottom types), so they give their turn to receive to someone else.

Jespear is up. If you want to jump it, send him a pm and get his address.

Don't get too caught up in the term nOOb. While this is the trade thread to get started, genuine "nOObs" seem to be on the endangered species list and only wander into the forum on a somewhat rare occasion these days. Therefore you'll see participation from somewhat non-nOObs just keeping this valuable trade thread going.*


So as to be sure and beat the rules to death, here are the steps involved:

Pick up the last sender by posting in the thread (or possibly someone to whom the last sender gifted their turn)**

Send a private message for an address

mail out a "friendly" fiver (aside from at least five, this is otherwise ambiguous)

post that you sent, which usually includes a tracking #

Ask "who wants to send me some smokes?"












* Fun or "shenanigans" may be involved on occasion.


** the gifting of a turn has its own protocol, the limits of which are tested from time to time

That’s about as clearly stated as possible. I’ll double down on the part about sending a friendly fiver. That is all that is required or expected in this thread and anyone who’s been here very long will be quite ok with a friendly fiver. If they want top shelf boutique smokes or anything other than noob trades they have other threads to participate in under the trades category. This noob trade will get you the street cred you need to move on to those sections.
We do get up to shenanigans here by bombing the crap out of each other. Don’t let that intimidate you though. A friendly fiver is just fine. If you throw a couple more in that’s fine too.

Well done, Tiver 😎
