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. The experienced trader would post on the thread PM 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.

VETS: 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!!!!!!

Moving up in the world

I am a little confused though because the OP says to include your email address but I've seen several times in thread #39 where someone was told to remove their addy?

We used to do this using all emails because the old site didn't have the PM ability. The instructions have never been re-written......although emails are definately the way to go once you have established repor with your vet.

You never, ever want to post your address in an open forum. Some don't even like posting their email addresses as sometimes the spam bots will pick it up and you will get a bunch of crap emails. Others will post it something like this:

r a y [dot] pse at veri zon (dot) net

Bots can't recognize this as an email.

Pretty much!....I'll do something with it...🍺

Oh soo your looking for a date are you???LOL???
