Goody . . .

You will pay my friend! Heheheeeee!!!

Can't you read? This is NOT an OCTTT, LOL. I thought we were doing a regular TTT, HA!

I have yours packaged up and ready to deploy on Monday.

Happy Holidays to you!

'Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

not a creature was stirring

not even a mouse.

The CBID staff hung their stockings

by the chimney with care,

and all that was left was someone to say

Who wants to top this special Christmas Eve trade?

Email me your snailer at: [email protected]

Hockey Dad I'll make a valient attempt to TTT you. I need to make some room in my humidors. Just hope I have enough stuff for you.

Ehdg,

You win! The package will go out Monday.

Hockeydad, Wow I won already? Does this mean I don't even need to fire off a responding shipment once I get yours?

ehdg

hey knof,the smokes with the red ribbon were your xmas dont top those

Damn you Goody!

I already have your box taped up and I beleive you have been topped!

Great, so now I have topped my xmas present from you, thats just great, LOL!

Merry Xmas!!!

I repeat do not top those if you know what's good for you! I meant those as Xmas and not part of the TTT, I wanted it to be a nice friendly TTT and not an OCTTT!

So untape the box, take out half the sticks and retape the box, if it takes a little extra time that's fine!

I just wanted to send you another package to say MERRY XMAS w/o spending more in postage! So please accept those sticks as my appreciation for all that you bring to the brotherhood and the XMAS they were intended for!

Thanks bro!!

Goody

But, but, but . . . I don't know which cigars to take out? As it was you sent me around 14 cigars plus a Gurkha Limited Edition Box of 6, and a Jameson Holiday Set . . . and you say you wanted a normal TTT? LOL!!!

I'm gonna have to think about your request and ponder opening up that box. I might just leave it alone to teach you a lesson, heheheeeee. I might not remove the appropriate cigars, and then it wouldn't be topped.

PS, you should of had a note on that Gurkha Box, LOL!

HockeyDad,

Package wrapped and ready. Goes out tomorrow to reinforce your mailbox....

Dave

Yeah I noticed as I was putting together another little bomb for a certain someone(s) that shall rename nameless, that I had forgotten to put your note in. I will send you the list tomorrow of what was TTT and what was Xmas, K?

As for teaching me a lesson, well one must first possess the mental capacity to be taught, since I do not, it would be pointless, LMAO!

Goody

Tis the day after xmass all most of the gifts have now been returned to the stores so that everyone can bet what they really wanted!!

IN honor of the malls and stores being busy today I'd like to offer up my own TTT. So for whoever is back from the stores/malls today and has the itch here you go!!

Who would like to TTT with little ole me?

Someone want to remind what the difference again between a TTT and a OCTTT? Is the only difference between them that we leave out the extra goodies and only use cigars correct? Also is there a limit on how many cigars I'm allowed to send or do can I just use my own judgement? I do need to clear out some space in a few of my humidors.

ehdg

Actually,

I don't think the rules have been laid down regarding the TTT - only the OCTTT. I started the OCTTT to allow others who were not as certifiable as some of us to still play in the TTT without fear of having to top a 60 cigar bomb...the minimum in the OCTTT is 10 sticks, I believe at last glance the minimum in the TTT was 5.

The plays are actually up to the players, I recommend open communication between the topper and the toppee to set the guidelines for their trade. For example, I explained to KNOF that I was going to do a regular TTT, for me I think was about 10 or sticks. I did just that and also sent a little something to him for the holidays. He is now threatening to top all of it which is sort of opening Pandora's box because now telling what I would do in retaliation to his retaliation...LOL! That hopefully gives you an idea Erich.

Goody

Hummm... And I have been putting 15 in my TTT....

Goddy is right, well kind of, LOL!

A TTT was started similar to the PIB & PIF trades of 5 cigars. Then it started getting out of control when a TTT began to be over 10 cigars. I commented how some of the guys are out of control, and there was the original thread of OCTTT to see who all has been involved in a TTT of more than 10 cigars.

Goody took it to the next level and started the OCTTT for trades of more than 10 cigars.

My personal preference is a smaller trade because in a large OCTTT of 40 cigars, how many of them are already in my collection. Then it makes it difficult to top, and the fun is gone (at least for me). I know some newbies, and maybe myself (at times) don't have that many different types of cigars, so again, the fun is gone.

BTW Goody, I cracked the seal on the box and took five smokes out, as you mentioned. No need to send me a list of what you sent, cause its all sealed up again.

I always fill the box...

Of course, with the OC, I tend to fill it with super nice product.
