I was a "noob".
I had a fiver of Nestor Maduros to trade......basically just looking to get some trade cred.
18Delta emailed me and told me that maybe his wife might like those.........so I sent them.
He responded with a package that pretty much started me on my way to obsessive cigar collecting........OpusX, Anejos, various Cuban cigars......etc.
I was blown away.
I slowly worked towards building a collection and finally had enough to hit him back. I remember emailing a bunch of other guys to figure out what he was into and sent him a massive superpremium bomb as paybacks..........I was so glad to be able to "hit" him back.
Afterwards, we exchanged smokes on many occasions.
So there..........18Delta initiated me into this madness.....I was an extremely active trader for a few years thanks to the spirit of generosity and brotherhood that he imparted to me.
He was also quite outspoken and brash..........he'd float in after not posting for months and start busting balls.
He and I exchanged crude "yo momma" jokes WAY before SteveR and I started in on it.
I wish he were still here.
