And 13 x AB 1997 Harvest Selection.

Thanks mountainman. I will finish up putting my side together tonight. I will get it out tomorrow or Monday.

your welcome, I hope you and your troops enjoy them. the hemi is a classic, the masterpiece is a bit bigger and I'm not a fan of the "A" sized cigars. besides the monte cc "A", but that has more to do with the good memories attached to it. which gives me ideas now.. Herfing

yes sir and I apologize for the late reply, life happened. water heater went down and so did the furnace... it has been a fun time. not as bad as if I was in the mid west,

all I can say is ddddaaaayyyyuuuummmm! thank you so much!!!! man this hit couldn't have came at a better time, with all that is going on, this helped lift my spirits tremendously!

I will post pics as soon as I get the chance, but the bomb that was dropped came in its own 20 count traveldor with this crazy beat down as its contents:

1 VSG spell bound- one of my fav's!
1 La Flor dominicana factory press II- just ran out of these a few months back! love them!
1 Olivia special V- nh been wanting to get my hands on one
1 Mbombay- nh
1 Federal flying pig- love these!
1 black pearl purple label- this one looks different from the last bunch of purple labels I had
1 tatuaje TAA 2014- oh goodness! nh and have been wanting to try pretty bad
1 La Paulina El Diario? - nh
1 Viaje zombie antidote- nh
1 Partagas series D no 5- one of my fav CC's
1 Partagas series P no 2- love these!
1 the Fire cracker- nh, is this one by don pepin?
1 unbanded the same size as the fire cracker but looks maduro - help
1 unbanded with different color leaf to look like a band- I have seen this one before but the name escapes me.

Thank you so much for the super gracious hit! I can not wait to light these babies up!

The small unbanded is the Viaje SS White Label Project
The other unbanded is a Tat mini Baby Face
The La Palina is the Goldie, I believe the little tip thing broke off.
The black Pearl is an OR, it should be pretty good
Yes, the fire cracker is made by Pepin.

I have three left of the LFD box press.
That TAA 2014 should be tasty.

Glad you like them. Probably my last big hit for awhile.

Hope the house treats you better!

OK.......Here it goes.....my first stupid newbie question.

If I need to be active for two months before I can do my first trade, how is the best way to do that....be "active" that is? I dont want to post a question I really don't have, I don't want to post cute pictures, talk politics or pontificate on random topics. I have read lots of cigar forums over the years but never found the need to post....i just searched till I found my answer. I know, I am missing the social thing but I'm old school - when I want to socialize I turn off the computer.

If you guys let me in, I realize the first thing to do is get adopted by a vet and find out what they want and I send first. Correct? Do i assume this counts as a post? How many more do I need to do?

Background and interest - Cigar City native. I consider myself a solid premium but rarely a $uper premium smoker. I sometimes try bargain sticks or little known boutique sticks - in search of a new good, rare or unusual smoke. I have been into cigars for 20 years and have been building a secret arsenal - up to about 250 cigars in 70 different vitolas. My wife wonders where all the tupperware containers disappear to. I am always looking for something different and thought trading might be a thing to try - rather than my usual random hunting, guessing or reading cigar reviews.


Not ever posted to a forum before.......I know I must be doing something wrong already. I am ready now to receive my obligatory newbie hazing.....please begin. (Oh and I promise not to use any of those stupid little smiley heads..........not that there is anything wrong with that!)

250 cigars lol that's cute. I think my last order was about 250.

Hey tampon, search for noob pib and read through, see what people are trading, complete some trades. You seems literate which is refreshing and a plus around here lately. Welcome.

Thanks......i did read it all once. Will go back again. Ran into this post that seemed like a first stop with the two month thing. I suppose if i knew what a pib was that would have helped. Glad to be in company of someone who thinks 250 is all in a days work! I have room to devolve more!

Hey tampon, how are you? Would you like to trade me some cigars? You send me them there seegars you bought months back and screwed up with before ye figured out howda do it right. Then I'll send you seegars of equal or morer value. If'n you feel compelled to get a trade under your belt and at least 20 comments from the transaction you just PM me for my addy and I'll give it to ya. Just don't you go pulling a Betty White period on me mmkay?

Welcome. We see a lot of people here come and go, some just to mooch some cigars and then disappear. The get to know you posts are a way for us to "feel you out" and try and see if you are one of those types that will simply disappear after getting some smokes. There are a lot of generous people here who are willing to share their smokes as well as knowledge to someone who is willing to do the same. Yes, this is just a forum on the internet, but for some who have been here for some time we have gotten to know one another and even met some in the real world. We are not a bunch of teenagers on the internet, although we may act it sometimes, but that is all in good fun. There is a caring bunch of folks here who share the love of a good cigar and a laugh when we can.

I took puffnstuff up on his offer and sent cigars. Been doing pm's but I guess I should post here too. I'm curious how this trading stuff will work out. The pib idea is still confusing so I will watch others for awhile hoping to see a repeating pattern.

See post 424. I responded and took him up on his offer. He and i both posted our successful reciprocal trade on new thread. So i did a noob trade without waiting two months.....breakin' the rule? And was it was not technically part of this thread, right? I plead ignorance.

Still waiting to see what is supposed to happen here and hoping to catch the flow of this thread. Maybe ill go back and read it again from beginning. In the meantime i moved to noob pib thread and it seemed more clear so i did that one.


I still have a month of waiting according to this thread. So dont let me kill this thread........carry on.

I sent first...then he sent some back in return. This was easy for me to understand..........though that opus x was uncalled for one upmanship. Thanks again puff for my first trade.

I never did end up with a vet, not sure how I skipped that process, lol.

I don't think I can really be considered a noob anymore, though I'm sure some will disagree.

People hooked me up and gave me good advice though, I can't complain.
