Ok, it's getting closer to time for me to bid farewell to my built-in humi, so the kblitz blue light special is on!

Cigars and trading should be fun, so I'm gonna have some fun here. First my wants:

5 points = Cohiba Esplendido, Cohibas Siglo V and VI, Partagas Lusitania, Punch Punch (all ISOMs). Why? I've never tried any of these and I'm sick of hearing how good they are 🙂

3 points = Opus X*, ISOM Partagas Serie D, Anejo Sharks, Don Carlos, Padron Anniversaries, and many other ISOMs (just let me know).

1 point = Opus Power Rangers and Perfexcion #5s, and smaller, handmade ISOMs.

Now here's my offer, in no particular order (NOTE: None of the following are ISOMs):

4 Fuente Short Story

16 IT Cuban Corojo Arrow Robusto (aging since 10/24/04)

2 Gurkha Master Select Toros

10 Indian Tabac Deluxe churchill Maduro tubos

3 Maria Guerrero 444

4 Fuente Hemmingway Signatures

1 Cupido pyramide

1 Ashton Churchill in glass tube

1 Bahiba Torpedo

2 Maria Guerrero Robustos

2 Punch Rare Corojo

1 Montecristo (Serie V?) robusto

2 Montecristo Tubos (42 x 6)

1 Cohiba Red Dot in glass (approx. 42 x 6)

1 Punch Grand Puro Libertad tubo

1 CAO Brazilia (Lambada I think?)

1 Camacho of some sort - nothing "rare"

1 Macanudo Robust, Hyde Park size

1 Padron 4000 Maduro

1 Romeo y Julieta Churchill in tube

1 Saint Louis Rey Churchil

1 halfway decent surprise to the "winner"

That's about it guys and gals. I'll leave this up for one week. Feel free to email your offer or post it here. itzlitz at comcast net

Newbies feel free to play, PLEASE play - but I will wait to mail until receipt (unless a FOG gives you some support). I hate to be ugly, but looks like some folks are getting burned here?

If one point wins, so be it!

Thanks for playing,

Kyle

I've caused a little confusion, sorry 'bout that...

To address a few questions:

This trades is for ALL of the cigars I have listed, 1 lot/1 trade. Whoever has offered me the most "points" according to my grading system above, by Friday Dec. 2 at 11:59 pm Central time, will get all the smokes.

It's not first come/first serve.

I plan to post leading point totals nightly, unless requested not to do so by bidder.

See, isn't this fun?

Is this type of thing a no-no here DED? Anyone? If so, please dismiss the whole idea and accept my apologies. Just trying to have a little fun and get rid of some smokes.

FOGs? Moderators? Bueller?

OI! Blitz, that would be the SECOND time you jacked me on a deal if you pull out. i mean, come on...if and when you pull out, you gotta take the top bid. i mean, COME ON!

Dude, settle down. I was writing you an email anyway. And, no I never "jacked you" on anything. Bad phrase there Brian. Baaaad phrase.

In case this is "legal" here, Brian is the high point man with 25.

my bad, jacked. i was thinking hosed and screwed, but i thought jacked could be seen as milder, though it does have that connotation.

and, no, you did not do any of those things. i am prone to exaggeration, however, you did set up an offering that i tried to get in on, then you wiped them from the board.

OUCH! i just looked up your past email. i apologize. how is the problem working out? i guess not well since you are losing the big humi.

DUDE! i apologize. compared to marriage, cigars are insignificant, though many a brother may disagree.

whatever happens, i am cool with.

on second inspection #9 did sound ALOT harsher than it was meant to. my apologies. i just REALLY like your smoke selection. that is why i went big instead of "auctioning"...starting at 10 points and moving up.

if you like, i will bow out for my transgressions.

Thanks for the repost Brian, no need to back out of anything. This little game or "auction" still had until next Friday, but if it needs to go away for whatever reason, we can work out something to get you and a couple of others a few smokes each.

Like I said in the subject line, I'm just havin' a little fun here. Not trying to step on Cbid forum rules...
