Wow, how did I miss this?????


A good rule of thumb hat has been mentioned many times, but seems to be forgotten sometimes leading to $hit like this, "Send better than you expect to receive, otherwise buy them yourself."

Was that on your way to school up hill both ways in 6 feet of snow???LOL!!!

Taps, the problem I have seen is you send cheap smokes then ask for nice smokes in return... It's not that complicated.

From some of the PIBs i've seen you send, you sent a few $2-4 smokes then asked for a bunch of borderline $8 smokes and some $10-15+ smokes in return when it is supposed to be a non-elitist PIB where smokes are less than $8 msrp. If this happened once or twice than I would just say its a nood mistake but you keep doing it. And before anyone brings up my original PIB again I am fine with what I was sent. You also mentioned that you threw the 5 vegas in your latest PIB because you knew you would never smoke them. Maybe the recipient likes them but I wouldn't use a PIB as a way to pass some trash.

I made the mistake of asking for cigars over $8 MSRP when I did my first non-elitist PIB and I got called out on it. I didn't realize what MSRP was on some of the smokes I was asking for, I was a nood... You have been called out more than a few times about the MSRP of smokes you are requesting and keep posting the same list.

At least try to send smokes equivalent to what you are asking for and if someone bombs you with some elitist smokes thats up to them... Some of the vets around here like to pick on noods that way...


And they will get what they deserve...

Ditto all that.

I just posted a unicorn list in the PIB threads..........

At least you got it in the right thread...

Harley is low on Olivas? We better hook him up quick!

How bout a box of 12s? Is that a good start?

Got a box of 12's and 09's this week....

I miss John / Gae9.

But, life as a Dad must be keeping him busy.

Look, I was going to write a nasty reply on the thread, but decided against it as I am:
1) not the confrontational type on internet forums (it's pointless)




Bwahahah lmao

YOU, write a nasty note?!?!

NOT the confrontational type?!?!

Hahahahaha!

That was a quote from taps, page 2 I think.

I wonder if h still has any of those master blends he ordered... could be 1's or 2's. I really liked those. Anyone got his number? I wanna let him know I passed him a turn in the PIB...

Could this be the Category 5 that I've been looking for???
Can't wait to dive into it later...

Thank you Palama - CBid Historian, PhD

I forget.... was Taps86 also Tapout??? or am I remembering a different dude?

Yup. Aidan sure got riled up when he was called out and tried to defend himself. Some of those flameouts were entertaining but for me, after awhile they were just downright boring as it just became pizzing and Internet shouting matches. I was never sure if he did that to just amuse himself or it was part of his true, split personality self.

Ultimately I find it funny (...in a sad way...) that he came back with another handle after saying "F'CK ALL OF YOU!" and iirc, said he was done here (...or something to that effect - I don't really GAF what he actually said so won't be searching for his direct quote...).

Taps86 and Tapout24 were not the same dude, Aiden is in SC and I’m 98.2% sure Tapout24 was from California.

Joel don’t think so, they just had a baby like 2 years ago? I don’t know exactly when.

yes, she did suffer a stroke, just outside the door to where she worked.
and they had a baby too.
she had been a distance runner and was gonna have issues ever walking again...but she was up and running after a tremendous amount of PT and effort.
He sent me a link back then of the video over time of her progress, I think a local TV station ran with it.
I actually cried while viewing it.
It was awesome to see.

hopefully no one would wish that on another...

anyway, he was/is a polarizing character here, I missed a lot of what bothered people about him back then (same as with bloodyspaniard) but going strictly on my personal dealings with him and subsequent email relationship, I consider him a friend.

A very brief glimpse for those wondering who TF is Taps.

Here’s the thing IMO especially in this forum.

There’s a quiet class to oversending and to being a gentleman about what you enjoy. Then there’s a quiet class to what you receive, if you get something you don’t particularly care for you can always find someone or shoot even send to OpFTH.

Braggart done right (Wheel) and braggart done......just to brag.....

I don’t hate Aiden, we “get along” but I wouldn’t ever even do a transaction with him. Hope is wife is doing better. He admins a whiskey group that I quit even looking at, if your running algorithms to score whiskey for resale I don’t want a GD thing to do with ya.

ah, 2019.
I think I never emailed him.

TTT just for the heck of it.

Refresh my memory. Was it the one(s) with Scott Lancaster? Iffin' so, I thought those were deleted. Iffin' not then I'mma not sure which one(s) you're referring to.
