Sorry TZ I'm out also........ I had an uneasy feeling about these noobs wanting in but was willing to give it a go but now that all the names I do know backing out has got me not willing to participate.

Thanks and good luck with the rest if they stick around.

That's all I wanted to know last year I sent 5 great smokes Cubans where included so if someone did not receive they got something good it did not come to that so the troops got some great smokes win win to me the noobs that I don't recognize there name if they're in I'm out sorry don't know them one year I was in one and there was no payment of a 5 or and someone did skip out but all the botl that participated sent smokes to cover and it was more than a generous gift by the time all the packages left

those noobs that just joined cbid are not eligible for this years SS. they need to be around for at least a year and participate in noob trades to earn creds

Is there anyone left besides me and Mandobro? I already sent my 5er, should land today. If we don't end up doing this, go ahead and send those to the troops. For all I care, you can keep them for the troubles this has oddly caused. Still say people are being silly. We did it last year with success.

There you go again, looking out at the world through your silly-colored glasses.

Seriously, though, I hope everyone has lotsa fun with the 2018 S.S. And thanks again to T W for stepping up to make it happen. It looks like last year’s was a hoot, for those who were inclined to participate.

I’m more of a 2018 A.S.S. man, myself. But take this for what it’s worth. I’ve been known to be silly.

Holy carp! A 3-minute pause, then you jump ship. Bummer for whoever else is left.

Since we are all silly, be prepared for some ribbing, now that you want to join us. There might be a special initiation, just for good-ole-serious you. I’m not sure you’re silly enough for us silly-folk.

IMHO you're too much of a noob to have an opinion here.

Really after your comments above.Dude you are one loose cannon.

I think you'd be silly to leave.You and Mandobro should just exchange gifts and be done with it.I mean "you are being silly" is quite the understatement here if you pull out.

Stick it out........you pulling out is the final dagger in TZ's heart after all your prior support not to mention leaving Mandobro hanging.Don't be an azzhole Hank

Yeah, my two years makes me too much of a noob to have any opinion. Gotcha! Considering Mandobro posted on the other one, I am guessing he is out of this one too. Even if he isn't, just a trade is no fun

I’d be hard-pressed to believe you’ve been around here for that long, given the content of some of your posts, Buddy. You know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t, look at the two that Whistlebritches and I commented on. Perfect example, repeated a number of times over your two years.

3 min isn’t much time for those who don’t hang out on CBid all day to be able to respond to your post, asking if anyone is left.

And Mandobro is not a noob. If he didn’t post that he’s bowing outta the 2018 S.S. and he signed up for the 2018 A.S.S., my guess is that he might be doing both. That would be a non-noob way of looking at it.

This being said, I think the first rule of not being a noob is to not declare yourself “not a noob.” In my slightly longer amount of time (and much fewer posts) here, I’ve picked up that much. There are folks who’ve been here twice as long as I have been who still refer to themselves as noobs.

You’ve got Noob-bifocals in your silly-colored classes my friend. Good luck sorting this out. It’s a good struggle to work through. I’ve done my own struggling and working through stuff. A bit of it here, even.

I'll probably be visiting Castro's later today...I usually take the wife grocery shopping on Fridays, and go hang at Castro's with a short smoke while I wait for her to shop

I included a couple of their exclusives in my X-Mas offerings this year too

A magic missile masacreed my mailbox yesterday. It took me a hour to gather up the shrapnel it spewed all over my lawn.

The contents:

Adonis, Coffee of the Gods, Blue Mountain Blend
Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
Deep River Jalapeno flavored kettle chips
Munson's Mini Salted Caramels
Munson's fun Bar
Xikar Cutter

5 Pack Padron 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo
5 Pack La Flor Dominicana Petites
Box of 10 Perez Carillo La Historia
FFOX Lost City Tubo
Padron Family Reserva 1964 45 years
Fuente AnejoReserva Xtra Viejo
Fuente Gran Reserva

and a box of matches. How they survived the explosion I'll never know.

I'm gonna take a super wild azzed guess and say Jrc02005 is my Secret Santa. Thank you, Sir. May your Christmas be merry.
