I've been gone a long time. I cant even begin to remember how many trades I did here at CBID. I received so many wonderful cigars and met (many in person) so many great BOTL's. My secretary probably used to think I was involved in some sort of illegal package sending network as I would get multiple packages many days. It's been too long.
With that being said, I'm kind of in the mood to swap some cardboard filled with tobacco leaves. Problem is, I dont have anything new and quite frankly, I dont even know what is out there any more. I used to be a Tat whore with a heavy side of Liga and Fuente. Mix in some Cubans and I was in heaven.
I've looked through my remaining stash and determined it's probably time to let some others try some of my hoarded stash. I've still got most of my cabinet full but it is mostly stuff I never wanted to smoke because I would never find them again. I dont even remember half the stuff I have any more but a quick inventory has unopened boxes of many smokes that I dont think are around much any more...
Original Feral, 9 and 52 Pigs
Original Rats
Original Regios and Noella Reserva
Oliva Maddie V's from 08, 09, 10
Old Fuentes - WOAM, BTL, original 858 SGs, etc
That damn cab of Westies I'm afraid to open
Saw a couple 07 Gold Medals
Half a box of red cloth Olivas
Might have seen some Cohetes
Plus many misc cigars that I dont even remember the names of most but I could probably figure out...
I assume that alot of these are past their prime. I know that cigars have their windows of "optimum smoking" and I couldn't tell you what those might be.
With all that said, this isn't some "brag list" or "hey look at me" thread. I'm looking to trade a few fivers in hopes of maybe getting a few newer cigars to try. I'm not on the mailing lists any more. I dont keep up with new releases. And I dont want to work that hard trying to figure out what the hell I might like.
If anyone is interested in a trade, hit me up. I'm up for probably 5 different trades. Just a 5-er. Not a cbid fiver. I'm not trying to one up anyone. You will get some old stuff. I will get some newer stuff. Like I said, I prefer Tats, Fuente, Liga Privada, Cubans, and higher end stuff. There was some LP9 Tubo I was wanting a while back. You will get the same in return although they will be older and most likely unavailable for sale anywhere else. IF there is something specific you are looking for, I'll try to oblige. As for me, I'll leave it up to you.
My only rules are to not be a douche, dont send me RP, gurkha, or the like.
Anyone up for a trade? IF not, I'll just keep smoking this yellow banded dirty rat (old liga bands seem to turn yellowish) I grabbed while rummaging around. Still tastes pretty good to me but I'm a fog
now so who knows what my opinion is worth
