WHILE NOT NEW TO THE CONSUMPTION OF THE MIGHTY LEAF, I AM IN FACT A NEWBIE TO THE "TRADE" (OR PASS), WHAT DOES ONE NEED TO DO TO GET IN ON ONE? MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DOES ONE W/O AN EMBARASSMENT OF CIGAR RICHES FULFILL HIS/HER OBLIGATION WHEN THEY HAVE VIEWED PAST PASSES WITH GREAT ADMIRATION AND NO SMALL AMOUNT OF CIGAR ENVY? JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW ONE STARTS OFF W/O OFFENDING. HOPE I'VE CHOSEN AN APPROPRIATE VENUE TO INQUIRE, IF NOT, TELL ME WHERE TO GO (LITERALLY, NOT FIGURATIVELY... PLEASE!) THANKS, MIKE

Ok, first turn off the caps lock.

second a trade and pass are different.

thirs if you want to trade get on my noob thread or offer something up

fourth most will not accept you into a pass unless you have trader references

fifth you can always start your own pass.

what bass said.

^ Welcome Kim(HV1)

Sorry about caps lock, necessary for program at work. Sorry if I was a bother, just curious, I appologize for my ignorance... Mike

Hi HV1, I appreciate the welcome, M

no bother at all just a bit of advice.

And welcome - I forgot to add that. Intro yourself over on misc.

Thanks bassdude. I did indeed intro myself a while back, but there has been a great deal of animosity here lately and I've been laying low until now. I do however appreciate your welcome, it's good to be here.

Cool, jump on the noob thread - we'll treat you right.

Yeah animosity is one way to put it. Get your thick skin ready.
