let me be the first to tell you we don't like you and won't trade with you.

you come here all dressed up in your fancy, big city duds and think we are impresed with thom mccann shoes.

tell us what you like to smoke and we will decide if we trust you or not.






other then that. welcome aboard the good ship lollypop, where all the women are strong,all the men are good looking and all the children are above average

good choices on the smokes ... there's guys who like you better already ...

Rick was just bein' Rick ... even though he has questionable political views, he's cute, not harsh ... we'll talk again about harsh after you been around a while ... 'specially if you cross swords with someone on the politics board ...

raven01

i hope you took no offense, i meant none. monte #2's from an ISOM are acceptable smokes, if you like good cigars. i prefer bad frogs, but they let me hang around anyway.

some advice perhaps.

take once a week shipping. shipping cxosts are cheaper by the bunch of stuff.

first cost is the most expensive item for shipping. after that all 5 packs are 50 cents, and all boxes and samplers and pretty much everything else is a buck.

check cigars international the mother site to find out what cigars cost straight up, then your bidding will be safer for you.

i must take my meds now.

Welcome aboard. Actually you got a pretty warm and fuzzy greeting from RICKAMAVEN compared to some of his posts I've read. He must be in a mellow mood or some reason. You've already gotten some good advice and I think you'll really enjoy being on the board.

BTW, um...er....ah....don't hardly know how to exactly put this, but re: rick's advice on $0.50 shipping on each additional item....you might want to steer clear of the mints!

First things first, Welcome Aboard. Great place to learn and make "Life Long Friends"! I know that is what happened to me at least.

LMAO @ Rick - He is right about the shipping and comparative shopping!

Robby - What? Thread jacking....No not you?? Don't think that I have posted a pic of myself here just our Warriors.

Regards,

Welcome raven01 from a relatively new bee myself,

First off, Rick is very cool. You can take him at his word that he meant no offense.

Second, nice intro. If everyone could introduce him/herself like you did the world would be a much more boring place... I mean... better place. Sorry. We had a rough intro last week by the name of Digisle. Perhaps you heard. Ideally, we'd all like to steer clear of some of the drama, but many of us have experienced the quality of the PEOPLE running this site and are quick to defend them in times of difficulty.

Basically, everyone here is your friend if you'll have 'em. If you happen to experience any diffiulty with orders or whatever, contact customer service. As long as you don't ask them to kiss your a$$ for some stupid mistake you made, you'll be well taken care of.

Happy bidding!
