ok... so i made up the number 77....

anyhow, I figured I'd try moving the old PIB to a new thread, as it seems rather dead, and I was thinking perhaps this is because of it's not quite clear title...

so here goes.

here are the copy/pasted rules

{cut and pasted from the Trade Info thread}

The basic rules..........PIB = Pay it Back ...

In a PIB, somebody asks, "Who wants to send me free cigars?". The first person to respond that they want to send some free cigars, gets to send some cigars to the person asking the question. The "suggested minimum" PIB package is 5 premium smokes. You can send more, but no less please.

If you don't have a few quality smokes, PLEASE BUY SOME, then play. 🙂

It is then their turn to ask if anyone wants to send some free cigars within a [approx] 24-hour time frame. The first person to respond will send the asker some smokes, and so on, and on . . .

Winners will be limited to one win in 7 days. The key here is to be fair and have a little fun...

{end of cut and paste}

So..... who wants to send me some cigars?

(note: this is a continuation of the previous PIB thread... and I sent some sticks to the last person in the thread.... I'm not just trying to get some free sticks....)

On 2nd thought, i want to open this one up.

If someone would like to send them to the troops instead, that too would be an acceptable option....

mostly I just want to make sure that the PIB gets up and started, too...

Nice on you Yeddid! I got you on this. I will send a bundle to the troops fer ya.

PIB's generally move slow, especially during holidays.

Happy 4th Of July to all!

thanks for stepping up.... especially for our men and women in uniform.

now, someone send some to Moonman!

I'll send ya a little somethin', moonman.

(Can ya wait til the weekend?)

YOWZA! Jespear.....you're a maniac! 4 smiley bags filled wit tasty stogies is over the top my friend. You are too kind. Your generosity is greatly appreciated & will not be forgotten. I look forward to returning the favor in the future. I've been wanting to try the Perdomo ESV's. You hit me with a lot of my favorites.

Rock On Jespear!

Yeah moonie...I kinda felt bad about not having a CAO Black VR for ya, so I tried to make up for it.

Glad you liked the sticks.

jes

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

Hey, I had a good day at the track.

Moonman was just in the right place at the right time, I guess.

No EM rec'd yet.

Wanna try again?

jes

My bad.. thought EM meant email me... and EMS means email sent.. go figure.. but you got one now.

sepo:

I think I'm the one at fault here.

I saw EM, but was thinking EMS.

re: #16

Just because I sent moonman 20 cigars doesn't mean I expect to get 20 in return.

The way I see it, these PIF / PIB things were never meant to be a "stick for stick" arrangement.

I think most of the BOTL's around here feel the same way.

If someone feels slighted because they received less than what they sent, then they shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.
