Deadeyedick - Good evening, received the package today. I open it and was in awe. You went way above and beyond on your end of this Newbie trade. I am looking forward to smoking these, and I will be sure to take notes and let you know what I think about them. I have yet to smoke any of the ones that you sent, but from what I have read and researched online these smokes should be awesome. Thanks for added bonuses too. You are the man!!! I would not hesitate to trade with you again.

Fellow CigarMates, this man deserves Mega Hooah!!!!!!!
Mega Hooah!!!!!!! Mega Hooah!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! While I am suffering through the waiting game, I might as well take this opportunity to once again say how much I appreciate how Ropeman helped me out with this sampler. Not only did he send me 30+ amazing cigars, he also included a a few goodies to enjoy on the golf course. An amazing thing to do for a newbie!!!! If anyone, I mean anyone, ever gets to talk or trade cigars with Ropeman(D.J), he will treat you like a brother. A genuine BOTL!

MrOptomistic,it's this Thursday we're talking about.
Have you pulled the pin yet? Most of us on the FOG side of the trade are doing to our Newbs what was done to us by elder statesmen.Geez,elder reminds me of the ancient gent who gave a 17y.o. pothead a couple of Bances and Cuesta Rey 95s about 1969.Wish I'd quit smoking cigarettes right then.No excuse.Waited until 1998 to pick up cigars as a regular thing,then those FOGs hit me with a La Luna Maduro Fuerte.Go for it,who's on deck,show this guy the light!

BTW,say hello to 'X'. Damn nice guy and excellant trader.

smithbw, ilovecigars29 got the package yesterday (that's right, mailed Saturday received Monday... don't know how but I like it.) I'm sure he'll post today or soon saying the same. Anyway, this one's a done deal!

Swimnaked knows how to put together a sampler for a newbie. A lot of the standard "GOOD" cigars in there which is exactly what a newbie needs,and he didn't ask for anything in return!! When the time comes he will be bombed back 🙂 thank you Jay

Received my package from albama yesterday... Let me say, he is not a stranger to knowing good cigars...
He sent me an Opus X, Fuente Don Carlos, CAO Brazilia, Oliva "O" Maddie, etc.

Thank you, my friend... I'm sure I will enjoy all of these !!

Lowman I am glad you liked them. I cannot take all of the credit though. The guy from the local shop helped me pick them out.

Former Newbie and now full BOTL Tonylum (Tony Lombardo) has just completed his end of the Newbie Sampler --- and in my book - he jumped from Newbie to esteemed Trading Partner status in 1 step !!!!

I opened his shipment and saw a few choice assorted Maduro sticks - some Indian Tabac and other assorted very nice cigars that are not in my rotation so I thought, good, have some new things to try.
HOWEVER, the box still had other items in it --- what was this I was now opening ? --- A GLASS TUBED DAVIDOFF "Special Series " Short Perfecto - just your average $12 piece of smokers heaven....but wait -- there are 2 more boxes !!!!!
A Factory Sealed Davidoff Millennium Fiver of the Lonsdale and ANOTHER Factory Sealed Davidoff Millennium Fiver of the Robusto !! For those who are Davidoff fans - you know how I just felt like I went to heaven --- for those who have not yet tried the pleasure of the Davi Millenniums - I believe that very few Habanas are "better" then these --- but be aware - Tony has parted with serious American Dollars to put this package together !!!! and I sincerely appreciate his generosity and kindness....
Forget the Maltese Falcon !!! THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF !!!!!!!
BOTL - I give you our newest inductee - Bro. Tony Lombardo - Trade and Exchange with this man - I recommend him 100% without reservation.

Thank you Tony and Best Fraternal Wishes for a Great Holiday !!!!!!!

DocRKS

Welcome Tony to the BOTL Fraternity. If Doc said you’re in, you are in. You got some high praise from one of the top people on the board. I had the pleasure of seeing the humidors Doc has and if you impressed him, you did a better job then you can imagine. Once again, Welcome Tony.

JD1 (and docRKS),

Package sent via USPS Express Mail (wanted to get it there ASAP to be distributed before the holidays if possible) to Brigade Capt. Dru Rhodes at West Point to complete the trade between JD1 and uncleb.

Again, I would like to thank Jerry for his generosity in suggesting that we send this package to the boys in Iraq. It gave me great pleasure to drop off the package today and Jerry should share in that pleasure.

Cool place y'all got here! 🙂

aliphus - Hmmmm, that is a name that I recognize! Welcome to Cbid! 🙂

Awesome job Tonylum and one HOOAH of an endorsement! Those Davi Millis are top notch sticks full of complexity and flavor!

Two thumbs to you uncleb! you stepped up to the plate in HOOAH! fashion! Enjoy your smokes and I look forward to trading with you in the future.

Hey what's up guys? I'm new here was wondering if I could participate in the newbie sampler program. e-mail:xmorpheus420x at yahoo.com

Just got return fire from Ken(Drnos). Very nice selection of some of my favorites and one new one I've wanted to try. Also sent a Hemi Classic with a note telling me he hoped this Fuente wouldn't be to mild for my tastes. LMAO. I don't think I would classify a Hemi as mild.

Thanks Ken for the great cigars, I'd trade with you anytime.

Watch out for Aliphus,he infected me with ODO almost five years ago and it's a particularly virilent strain.

Morpheus5885 - Of course you can play.

USA Hog - please contact Morpheus5885.

Woo-hooo!
