I'm faily new to the boards, and just recently completed my nOOb trade with Whizzy1 (still in awe).

Anyways...

I've been hearing many things about the Drew Estate Liga Privada line, and was interested in trying one before making any purchases.

As far as what I would have to trade...I'm also fairly new to the cigar game as well (less than a year), so I may not have "higher" quality sticks for an even trade, so maybe I might be able to compensate with quantity.

If interested please email me at:

From my recent day out to the B&M, these are few and far between.

Somehow, I find it hard to believe that you just completed a noob trade with the Whizz and you don't have any QUALITY smokes. The QUANTITY part is a given.

He prolly doesn't KNOW that he has quality sticks.

Send to me for inspection.

I will properly dispose of the yard gars and return the quality ones.

i'm' still hurting from that diaper bomb if that's not quality i dont know what is. he's a mad man i'm gonna have to report him to homeland security

^#3 & #4: The ones that WHizzy1 sent for our noob trade are definately "Quality" sticks, but my line of thinking was...I do think it would have been proper to "regift" a gift that was intended for a "noob" to try to find out what their likes/dislikes would be.

If I would have traded sticks that were given to me from Whizzy1, how would I have ever known if I would have liked that stog or not.

For instance, Whizzy1 gave me 4-5 different Tats (all of which I would consider "high quality sticks"), but i’ve never tried any of them. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the point of the noob trade to expose us "n0obs" to a variety of seegars? I’ve been feverishly smoking the cigars from my noob trade, and loving almost all of what he sent, but I would have never experinced them if I trade them away.

Now, I’ve purchased 5er’s (Oliva V)and came to the conclusion that maybe I should buy a box now since I like them so much...and these are what I would have to trade.

Whizzy1 is definately a stand-up Vet, and in no way would I disrespect him by saying his gift was not "quality"...Hell, he gave me "quality & quantity".

Sorry for any confusion.

Point well taken.

Never having done a "noob trade" when I first came to the CBid forums five years ago, I guess I hadn’t thought about it the way you explained it. As far as I know, "re-gifting" is an accepted practice amongst the B/SOTLs here, but in your case, I think your train of thought is right on the money.

Post #3 was posted strictly TIC, (tongue in cheek), and I never meant to insinuate that you thought Whizzy’s sticks were not quality. His "diaper bombs" are legendary around here.

(Received one myself not too long ago)

Hope that clears things up from my end.

And, if you ever feel the urge to bomb someone . . .

bomb busa

No harm, no foul...I'm just glad to be a part of this wonderful group of folks that are willing to help one another out.

I've posted on many other boards (not cigar related), and the comraderie here is sencond to none...and the icandy and humpage ain't bad either.

I’ve said it many many times before . . .

The generosity of the B/SOTLs on these forums continues to amaze me on a daily basis.

Especially the support for our troops. OUTSTANDING!

I am proud to be a part of this community.

If there is one thing I have learned here at this forum is you have to be able to take a little flack.

Some people here are going to pull your chain to the point you don't know which way is up. LOL

Just take your beatings like a noob is supposed to and...
