I'm a noob to posting and the forum, but I thought it would be fun to trade some premium sticks. I have the following to trade...

Liga T52 Toro (qty. 2)
Liga Privada 9 Belicoso (qty. 2)
Bespoke Grand Cafe Lancero (ultra rare unless you live in Chicago or travel to Europe)

Each stick is $15-$18 depending on where you find them.


I'm interested in trading for:

Fuente Don Carlos or CC's

Thx.

Mike

Not even a friendly reach around first?

Pancakes or Waffles?

As soon as I hit "post topic" I figured any post by a noob would elicit such responses.

Honestly... never ventured into this forum, mostly just CBid. However, I know how it goes when somebody new wanders into one of these on-line circle-jerks. It's all good

Oh ya, your pricing is way off, 14 to 15 tops, but nobody around here is going to pay that for them.

I gotta question the price on the bespoke cigar because I question the price on anything with the word "bespoke" in it, especially when that word is the name of the company (for the record... I don't buy sh1t named bespoke).

So, GL!!!

That's the price at Biggs Mansion in Chicago and the only place that I know of where you can get the Bespoke brand in the US. So... that's the $ I'm referencing.

Bespoke is the brand out of Estonia and I agree that using the term "bespoke" for a brand is confusing. https://bespokecigar.com/ Search some reviews, especially the reviews on the Cotton Tail by the Katman. They have some nice blends if you can find them.

Thanks for the "good luck" 🙄, but I'm already working with a forum member through pm.

We have bad luck around here with single post noobs trading premiums, just so you know.

Totally understand. However, I can promise you that none of my sticks have been or ever will be re-banded or stuck in any ass to self-infuse them. 😏

I'm just trying to get a few new CC's that I haven't been able to try yet and I understand that you have to give good sticks if you expect the same in return. That's why I didn't offer up trash gars.

Welcome! I don't usually frequent the Trades forums, but a little bird chirped in my ear. It seems clear the "M" stands for Mike. I assume "DP" stands for your lifestyle choices. Do you mind if we call you Pig Roast?

Jeremy C., the guy who runs Bespoke, said he was trying to get in shops on the west coast. Give the Bespoke Cotton Tail a try. Pricey, but very good.

Wow... what a welcome. They said"Cameroon" would chirp in at some point. Not sure what lifestyle you speak of? Although, since I was warned about you, the immediate mental picture I got was an overweight, insecure, but somewhat narcissistic guy... probably suffering from male pattern baldness, sitting naked on a folding chair in front of his computer, trolling the forum to bask in whatever limited glory you have created for yourself on here. And this is during the breaks from surfing "DP" sites...

Sound about right? No disrespect (not that being a regular on a cigar forum earns respect), but I'm gonna fire back 😏

Be honest. That fantasy caused you an erection.

No one's here to judge, mind you. This forum's the wild west, but the things some of these guys do on their camping trips can't be discussed even on the murkiest internet boards.

Hell, with your new "bear punching" avatar (I assume it's some sort of coded signal), you might even ask for an invite . . . .

So are the Bespokes really that good? I read the Katman pages as well just cause, some of the cigars I liked, he seems to agree with. (5 Vegas comes to mind).

Anyway. Do you play fantasy football?

Rule of thumb, any mass produced product with the word "bespoke" in it is trash.

It's like Walmarts house brand, "great quality" ... trash

or

Like the "Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" ... trash

So what bespoke cigars says to me is, look at our mass produced "made to order" cigars... this batch is for you bro...

That's not reality though, reality is, bespoke is a cool looking word known to sell inferior products to hipsters and millennials, therefore any product with the word bespoke in it is trash.

The term Has been used for over a century to describe hand made items. As in Bespoke suits or clothing.. Like I said earlier, it's a strange name for a cigar brand. Then again it's a European based co. So...

It's definitely not Wal-Mart trash as bgz referred to it, nor is it a house blend for some big box co. I ordered from Biggs Mansion in Chicago. Cool place if you're ever in Chicago.

Big difference in a bespoke cigar from someplace in Chicago that sells cigars on the internet to anyone with the coin to buy them and a bespoke suit made made on Saville Row for a specific individual. Call it what you want, but the bespoke cigars you speak of are simply house blends. Maybe they are phenomenal and maybe they're chit.

Yeah... um... they're not actually an online retailer.

Some of you guys hemheroids flare up if somebody new brings up something you haven't tried or heard of... like it upsets the balance of your forum fraternity you have going on here. I feel like I just stumbled upon the forum equivalent of the pawn shop back room scene in the movie Pulp Fiction. Which one of you would be Zed?

Cotton Tail is very good & better than the Grand Cafe, however Katman's review was a little generous IMO. It really reminded me of a Cuban Monte Edmundo
