You must be smelling your own BS, because none of that is true in any way, shape or form. I'm not trying to save face, that is BS. Lay off the crack and get over yourself man.

In regards to the box pass, it was supposed to be mediocre cigars...that was the whole point. Half of what I got back was worth less than the cigars I sent out to begin with, so I don't know what you are talking about. If you didn't like any of the cigars in the box, you could have just passed it on to the next person without exchanging anything. That is your problem, not mine. Plus, I end up sending half of them and a bunch of other stuff to the troops.

In regards to the NOOB MILITIA stuff, the only reason I wanted it to all come to me was so I could equally divide between a few VETS in order to make sure they all got quality stuff. Since SOME people didn't like it, I messaged everyone that we could just all send our stuff separately to a single target. I didn't want anyone to think that there was anything underhanded going on, because there isn't.

In regards to the CAT thing, I never even opened the thread. When someone pointed it out, I read it and sent money and cigars. Screw you if you think it had anything to do with being backed into a corner.

In regards to my situation, I DON'T have money to buy new cigars. My family is in serious debt and we are trying to work our way out of it. I like bombing people, so I send a bunch of cigars I would normally smoke. In some ways I am low, but that was a joke. Nobody that says they are low on here or other say they are low, are actually low.

In regards to the donkey king, I really don't care who gets it. I thought it would be fun. So I will do my thing without the title and whoever wants to join me, can.

To be honest, I hate that I have to defend myself and sound rude about this, but it is ridiculous. Being questioned by someone that knows nothing about me or my intentions. I like you and enjoy your posts. I hope you can lay those thoughts to the side and move on. I'm down if you are.

For what it's worth, why don't you take care of your family / financial situation first? Spending money on postage while you still have serious debt doesn't make any sense. A little self-restraint could do wonders for your family.

See this is where the issue for me comes in Hank. I don't feel that that is genuinely the case. It's kind of hind-sighting the conversation to lead in that direction to save face.

I'm going to go back to the box pass you started months ago. At the time it was a good idea with good intentions to get a pass going that wasn't elite for some newbies to try some new stuff. The problem was (in my eyes) you loaded the initial contents with cigars that you felt were mediocre that you got cheap at auction in hopes to get some better stuff back. What happened was the first guy may have got the few quality smokes that were put in and then the following guys just took the ones that were added by the guy before. When it came my turn a message went out to try to take out of the original offering. So I took a couple of cigars from it and went on quietly with a bit of a sour taste. It felt like your intention was to upgrade some of your cheap auction sticks not introduce some newer guys to some quality affordable cigars in return for the same from those in the pass.

Fast forward to now you want us to bomb a vet quietly behind the scenes while you make a big spectacle about it. What I read is send all the cigars to me so I can skim the best off the top that I haven't had yet, don't worry I'll replace with something that I think is similar but I've had....

I know nothing about the CAT thing but you went into that only after you got called out and backed into a corner.

You're recent hits have been better, yet you constantly throw out a personal situation about being low or the next time I have money to buy cigars. I read that as over time you've undersold your end of trades and have accumulated better cigars off the generosity on this forum and are now trying to play up another tier.

I have no vote in who the new Donkey King is but personally I don't think Hank is a good representative of us if this is an important part of the forum and choose not to participate in this mission. I also think Ewok would be a much better representative for us.

I try to be as polite as possible but man Hank I'm smelling a bunch of BS.

I usually do a beer pass in the fall but got busy and didn't do it this year. If there is interest I will get one going when weather us safe from freezing the beers.

A local beer included is a good idea!

Even if I don't get elected as the next Donkey King, I think it about time us noobs rise up and retaliate against some of our "more seasoned" Cbid-ers.

I've had enough of these FOGS acting all high and mighty because they have been on the site forever. They think they can toss their weight around because of their longevity on a cigar forum. That's like saying they have had less of a life for longer than the rest of us. Bravo, congrats to all of you.

Have you ever noticed that these FOGS and VETS act like their crap doesn't stink? Of course they know more about cigars than many of us noobs, they have been smoking cigars longer than half of us have been alive. I bet most of them started out by having to grow their own tobacco, age it in a cave, roll it themselves and light it by striking two rocks together

They aren't the only ones that can do some serious damage.

Lets give these saggy tea-baggers what they deserve.

If you are new to the site in the last couple years or just still consider yourself a noob, PM me for details.
