I just sent out cigars for a PIB and will be getting some in a PIF. After more extensively delving into the message boards, I'm concerned that I might not have the top shelf stuff needed to play nicely with others. Anyone who can give me an idea if this list has any material worth trading will be a great help.

Do I have any cigars in here I should NOT send out? And how about a short list of Premium and Super Premium, so I can learn what's what?

Thanks,

I'll give it a shot.

The only gar in your list that I smoke is the Gurkha. I like most of their line. But they do have some that are sub-par.

Premiums generally $4 - $12 sticks
CAO
Toranos
Padron
La perla Habana
La Aurora
Perdomos
LGC
Arturo Fuente Hemi(most)
non LE Habanos
and such

Super Premiums generally $10 - $30 sticks
PAM 64 and 26
Opus X
Habana LE
La Aurora tubos
Perdomo edicion de silvio
Diamond Crown
and such

You are a noob we all know it. No one expects you to have a well stocked dor. And when you do you can always send an extra package out later. I do have to say when a noob hits you with the good stuff it is a pleasant surprise that does not go unnoticed(is that a word)

I am still a newb myself, that being said, there are several sticks on your list that I have received on the few PIB's and PIF's I've done. Do your best, and bid on more smokes!!! (errr, as long as you don't bid on the ones I want)

Ok, that's a relief. I'm still feeling my way around with fivers and the occasional sampler before diving into boxes. That seems like the best way to go as far as being able to trade and such.
Another question, is it kosher to throw in something like a ballcap? Or some of the promotional stuff I get at work? Not in lieu of cigars, of course, just to chuck in as a surprise?

Nice shot Bassdude, I agree. Took me a while to figure that out though.

Weird, bass. I was thinking "lures" when I was typing. Or dry flies. Is this what cigars do for your physic abilities?

....wait..."physic" is what they give you when you're full of crap. "psychic" is when you're just full of crap. Either spelling, I resemble that description.

The Gurkha is not worth a flip, especially the regent. As a newb you may not know that I am the designated guy to dispose of gars that aren't up to par. That being said, send me your Gurkhas and I will dispose of them for you as a one time courtesy.

Hey, sli38, howzabout a little heads up for a newbie?!?!?! Couldn't you have labeled that box "WARNING:EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE INSIDE!!!!! DON PROTECTIVE GEAR BEFORE OPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!" The shipment blew my head off and I'm only just now about to light one. You guys play rough.

Do I have any blood on my lip?
