Background: This thread is designed to allow new members to get a good sampler of cigars from an experienced smoker. It also has the underlying intent of fostering the brotherhood whereas an experienced smoker provides mentorship and advice about which cigars are in (their) opinion the best out there. Listed below are “Some” specifics that will help us to get started. And lately it has been about the destruction of Noob’s mailboxes. I am interested in feedback, especially if there is something that I did not clearly articulate.

Explanation: What is the Newbie Sampler?

A specific thread where a Newbie (or anybody new to CBID) can trade for a variety of Cigars. The experienced guy would help the Newbie decide which cigars best fits his tastes based upon the feedback from the Newbie and would tell the Newbie what he would want in return for the sampler. The Newbie would get the “experienced” guy what he wanted and the "experienced" guy would send the Newbie a nice package of assorted cigars. This includes having the Newbie purchase cigars for or from you.

Benefits: Why would I want to trade with these people?

1. First and foremost, time and money will be saved by the new person.

2. The new person will receive a large variety of smokes. All of which have been well maintained and are not dog rockets.

3. Mentoring from an experienced cigar smoker.

4. A start to a good trader rep on Cbid

Mechanics: How is the trade going to work?

There will be a list of experienced smokers that I will maintain on the Newbie sampler thread. A new person would post that they are interested in getting a sampler along with their email address. The experienced trader would post on the thread email sent and reply to the Newbie. The deal would then be handled between the two people and the experienced trader would update the thread by posting Newbie trade completed with (insert tag here).

This will allow everyone to see the progress of the Newbie thread.

Summary: If the trade does not work out where both people are totally satisfied then either or both parties can contact me and I will do my best to make it right.

Ok here's a new update...How many of the above 'Trades in Progress' are done deals??

I'll be sending out some PM's and also starting Thread #32...Coming to a theatre near you!

My end going out today,

Around here, I'm sure you can get plenty of opinions. 🐴

Which ones are you looking at in particular?

I'm still noobish meself, but have a lot of 5 vegas, the classic was the first box I purchased.

For me, the classic is a good medium cigar, I also really like the AAA and the Relic - they are a bit fuller. 2010s are all I have of the Limitada's and I like them too. Shoot, what's your snailer, I'll send you a sampler! I have almost every variety I think...

the A's are a good smoke for the buck the AAAs are even better. the miamis aren't bad either. not a big fan of the relic but then again it is all a personal taste thing.

I just see it's a pretty big line and there are a diversity of lots to bid on. So I wanna get recommended ones be4 I blow my money lol

Ill PM you. We can noob/noobish it up.

Thank you! I only have to find my preference. That should easy. Right.. 🤦

Awesome! I always wonder about price when im bidding. Bombdawgy did tell me to check out CI but i also have a real bad "won't be beat" complex so things get interesting..

DD it is easy. What's harder than smoking cigars! All the 5Vs are worth trying at least once.

FWIW, my favorite 5 Vegas now are the Gold Maduros...

The Honest Pour 15-Cigar Sampler includes:

1 - 5 Vegas Class Double Corona (6" x 48)

1 - Arganese Connecticut Robusto (5" x 50)

1 - Bahia Maduro Panchos (5.5" x 52)

1 - Cuban Legacy Toro (6.5" x 50)

1 - Gran Habano Connecticut #1 Robusto (5" x 50)

1 - Graycliff ’G2’ Pirate (torpedo) (6" x 52)

1 - Indian Tabac Classic Arrow (5" x 50)

1 - Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro Maduro (6" x 52)

1 - La Estrella Cubana Oscuro ’R’ (5" x 50)

1 - Nica Libre Imperial (6" x 54)

1 - Padilla Hybrid Torpedo (6.25" x 52)

1 - Park Avenue Series 44 Churchill (7" x 48)

1 - Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto (5" x 50)

1 - Rocky Patel R4 Corojo Torpedo (6" x 52)

1 - Torano Dominico Torpedo (6.25" x 52)

I really liked the Perdomo Lot 23 and Rocky R4. Did NOT like the Padilla Hybrid --- I've an Achilles though that I liked. The Gran Habano was very light. Good, but light.

I'm very NOOB so, this is obviously FWIW to you. Oh, and the Cinco Vegas I have had have been good!
