Rocky Patel X-OUTS:

7 Liga D Toros, 6.5x52

6 Liga A Toros, 6x52, maduro

7 Liga C Torpedos, 5x54, maduro

6 Liga C Torpedos, 5x54, corojo

I paid about $2.60 apiece for these: $2.60 x 26 = $67.60.

So, whaddaya got of equal value?

All or none; no cherry-picking, please.

Thanks for looking.

what is your preference

I am open to suggestions.

Don't like extremely strong cigars, like LFD ligeros.

Medium to full flavor is best.

This doesn't have to be a one-for-one exchange.

I'll gladly take fewer sticks with same/similar value:

Padron maduros in 50 to 50+rg (3000, 4000).

AF Cuban Belis

Camacho candela Monarcas

Legend Graycliffs

A mix of different sticks is best, as long as all are consistent in size and price: no coronas or presidents...toros and churchies are my smokes of choice.

You can have my sister. She's single.

Sorry, married long time now.

I hope sis got the brains and looks.

Stpo thread-farting.

Thanks.

If you'll send the cigars you listed plus a personal note to a soldier's addy I'll give you in Iraq or A'stan - I'll match you with $70 worth of great smokes. LMK.

A generous offer.

Do you have a domestic address for cigar collection, who then re-ships overseas in bulk?

That's not how I have ever handled these 'trades' --YOU ship the sticks overseas yourself that way there is NO DOUBT the package was sent - plus more often than not - you will get back a response from your soldier and some great correspondences have begun that way.

After you send your end and frwd me a copy of the Post Office Customs slip (I'll walk you through this if you haven't sent to a Mil APO before - it's easy - a LOT of guys from this and other boards have done this) - your sticks will be on their way.

LMK

PecanPi, you should take Bro Roman up on this offer.

He's a top shelf BOTL.

Bro. PTE --

I guess this guy didn't believe either one of us - he never responded to my 'trade'. The troops won't suffer though - I just sent out 250 cigars to some ARMY and Marine personnel in A'stan and The Big Sandbox.....

God Bless All Who Serve Our Great Nation!!!

Heck, if she were you, Sister Jules would take Brother Roman's offer. A fine one it is!

pecan pi lost big on this one. i sent to one of Doc's boys, and the note i got back from him was well worth it. and i did not even get some of doc's offered.

now THAT is a deal and a half!

For anyone reading this, if you get this type of offer from DocRKS, take it. I can promise you its worth it two fold. Doc will hook you up and I also recieved personal thank you notes from the soldiers I sent packages to.

La Familia Capital, the local Sacramento herfers' group meets once a month. They collect cigars for troops and ship in bulk overseas to military units, just like you did, Doc.

^no offense, but I don't think you're fully comprehending what Doc is requesting. He just wants you to take the time to mail the sticks plus a note ("thank you for your service......") to a predetermined soldier (I gurantee it's simple. If I can do it, anyone can), and in exchange, he offering to know the hell out of ya!

Hell, I've got some extra sticks that I could let go if I were offered this deal. I'm just sayin. LOL

Pecan, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but thats not the way the "trades" I made with Doc have gone. Doc provided addresses and I went to the PO and shipped my packages. In return the good Doc sent me a package of very special cigars. Well aged and perfectly maintianed from that very special cigar place. If that wasnt reward enoug I rceived personal letters from the fine young gentlemen who received my packages telling me how grateful they were to me!!! If you can beleive that. Guys in harms way putting their lives on the line thanking me because I sent them some cigars and snacks and stuff. It was a very rewarding experience both in the letters and in my humi. I beleive that was the type of offer Doc was extending to you as well.

I decided to respectfully decline Doc's offer because I would rather contribute to my local BOTL cigars-for- troops project. It's no reflection on Doc or anybody else; I give a big thumbs-up to you guys for doing what you're doing.

I think I "got it." But I have my own preferences.

^sorry to imply that you don't "get it".

glad to hear that your contributing in your own way.

Pecan is a stand up guy. I vouch for him. Hope that statement doesn't tarnish your rep Pec.

Bean is great also. I'm just giving my shout-outs.
