YOU MUST BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE FORUMS TO PARTICIPATE!!!!!!!!!!!

Background: This thread is designed to allow new members to get a good sampler of cigars from an experienced smoker. It also has the underlying intent of fostering the brotherhood whereas an experienced smoker provides mentorship and advice about which cigars are in (their) opinion the best out there. Listed below are “Some” specifics that will help us to get started. And lately it has been about the destruction of Noob’s mailboxes. I am interested in feedback, especially if there is something that I did not clearly articulate.

Explanation: What is the Newbie Sampler?

A specific thread where a Newbie (or anybody new to CBID) can trade for a variety of Cigars. The experienced guy would help the Newbie decide which cigars best fits his tastes based upon the feedback from the Newbie and would tell the Newbie what he would want in return for the sampler. The Newbie would get the “experienced” guy what he wanted and the "experienced" guy would send the Newbie a nice package of assorted cigars. This includes having the Newbie purchase cigars for or from you.

Benefits: Why would I want to trade with these people?

1. First and foremost, time and money will be saved by the new person.

2. The new person will receive a large variety of smokes. All of which have been well maintained and are not dog rockets.

3. Mentoring from an experienced cigar smoker.

4. A start to a good trader rep on Cbid

Mechanics: How is the trade going to work?

There will be a list of experienced smokers that I will maintain on the Newbie sampler thread. A new person would post that they are interested in getting a sampler along with their email address. The experienced trader would post on the thread email sent and reply to the Newbie. The deal would then be handled between the two people and the experienced trader would update the thread by posting Newbie trade completed with (insert tag here).

This will allow everyone to see the progress of the Newbie thread.

Summary: If the trade does not work out where both people are totally satisfied then either or both parties can contact me and I will do my best to make it right.

fishinguitarmanatyahoodotcom – all vets please e-mail me so I have yours. If you know I have it don’t bother. Please stay in for a rotation of 3 noobs then you can decide if you still want to be in.

Remember noobs this is not in any way about how much you send to your vet, there is no need to feel like you need to impress us. This is more about trading credibility and making friends.

Have fun!!!!!!

hey fgm: how many fogs get assigned to noobs..do noobs sometimes get more than 1 fog????i kinda like the fog's...lolol,,,hahaha

hey is there a better brand of crystals to buy that absorb and release?

==================

what size of humi do you have?

What I have found that works well for me here in the NW is a combination of Crystal Gel (Humi-Care) and Cigar Beads. The gel tends to release Rh faster during the low humidity season and the beads tend to do a better job of absorbing excess Rh during periods of high humidity. once I started using this setup my Rh has been VERY stable year round.

if you need a link to the cigar beads, let me know. Living on the coast, you may have a hard time keeping your Rh down using the gel alone.

kimmer mine is about 100 count but i think it a realistic 50..to 70 if i stacked them deep. my hummi does a good job of stable just running a little high..and my great and super fantastic fog told me to get beads but i was reading and one said don't buy knock offs..so i was unsure....
