This is a good idea I have seen on a couple different boards. This combines the threads of PIF and wants/have.

The idea is simple:

Someone will post what cigars they want to try, and someone will respond back saying that they have the sticks and will send them.

Once the sticks are confirmed with the asker/sender, the sender then posts what sticks they want to try.

This continues with people trying new sticks or sticks they can't find anymore.

Read the Rules to understand the nature:

1.) Only one person may post their wants.

2.) Only one person can post that they have fulfilled the asker's wants.

3.) You may ask for whatever cigar your heart desires, but remember that the rarer/pricier your choice is, the harder it is to fill.

4.) If your want is not fulfilled in 3 days, post a new, easier to find want.

5.) Be prompt in all emails and shipments.

6.) Don't ask for 8 cigars. The idea is only to get two or three cigars since these probably won't be cheap cigars. Post 3 or 4 wants, and hopefully somebody can fulfill 2 or 3 of these. Once 1 or more of the wants have been marked as being fulfilled, your turn is over and the sender posts. READ you do not wait for all of your wants to be fulfilled. This is because only one person may ask at a time. If one person can accomodate 1 of your wants, then that is what you get. If they can accomodate 4 out of 4, then that is what you get.

Please keep this friendly, reasonable, and fun. This will be a great way for us all to try new cigars we haven't been able to find in awhile or cigars we have always wanted to try. Enjoy the thread.

I am not to going to ask first, so the first vet that comes onto the site, ask away.

We already have a very nicely run PIF thread that has been going consistently for at least the couple of years I have read or been active here.

Not sure another one is necessary....

Ya there is a pif thats been going fine for years but I think Nir6Van6a is just trying to break the hum drum cycle ? so with this said I am looking for

I T Nonpareil' Habanos

Not asking for expennsive just every day smoke I haven't tried.

It is not a PIF thread. I like the PIF thread we already have. This is a PIF/Wants thread. It works like a pif, but you pick the smokes you want.

Is something different... I like... and gives something to do while waiting two weeks to get in on the PIF again...

Hey Mikey

I have one IT nonpariel Habano....I will bring it for you on saturday....

MM

so if I understand the rules right... it is now Bookers turn to make a wish/want right???

Angus---

Ha booker what U looking for?

24 year old blonde, big rack..........................

If Booker and you are squared away, then he posts whatever he wants. Person who sends to him gets to ask next.

FWIW, this is pretty much a PIF thread, just with requests rather than a grab bag of smokes. And folks will NOT send just 2 or 3 smokes. As we well know, C-bid math does not work that way.

Not that I have any problem with it, and certainly not that I am territorial or anything about the PIF thread. But if this is a regular thing, then yes, C-bid now does have two PIF threads.

KMS - This is not a PIF thread. It only has a similar idea because it is turn based, otherwise it is a Wants/Have thread

http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/forum/forum.cfm?action=list&forumID=6&messageDisplay=0000000175226 

Is there any difference in these 2?

curious George

Yes, again, read the rules. This is a turn based Wants thread, not a wants/HAVES thread. This should not be a problem with people. It was supposed to be a way for people to try new sticks, and will be more likely to get them because the person who gives them will get what they want in return. Not just listing what they want and hoping they get it. I don't see why people seem to be having a problem with this.

Im fine for now brother see ya saturday.

ok so as not to mess up the thread...I would like to try

CI Legend Copper

CI Legend Red

CI Legend Black

CI Legend Purple

Mike I will add 4 more to yours call me. GSS/Bookers

Set....

OK, First off, this is NOT another PIF thread.

A PIF thread is an open question BY THE SENDER.

This is a PIB thread, with the caveat that you can ask for some specific cigars.

Its an interesting concept, but if they have it on other sites, why not just visit those sites and do the deed there?

I posted that in the first line of the thread.

"This is something I have seen on other sites...."

I did it here because I like this site more than the other sites.

Bookers... I can hit you up with the red and purple.
