    Basil as for cred would you like to compare humidors I have know idea what you have but I would bet you would have a tough time comparing maybe not in quantity but in rarity and value. Yes I missed the rule but my trades were more then far. I will also bet unless you all try to prove a point the ones I put in will not be there at the end. So bigmacfu just take them put the values they have posted and you will be in great shape and enjoy some fine highly thought of smokes. I am use to Gentlemen groups and I can see that is not important here.
    Taz,

    I'm sure you have participated in all sorts of "gentlemenly" passes, but not here. That's almost as bad as referencing an ebay feedback score (almost because you may have cred from another board that a FOG here frequents and thus is willing to back you up).

    Basil wasn't making any comment on whose humidor is bigger than whose, and for you to make such a comment is just a sad and arrogant thing. Basil was pointing out you were not following the rules and that MSRP doesn't equal on-line values nor does it match with rarity. He did say he wouldn't want to trade with you because you essentially broke a rule.

    For you to respond like this, the "backhanded" high road, shows your altimeter is off, you've done nothing good in this response. You should have just apologized and left it at that. Furthermore, to insinuate I'm some kind of mooching or leeching ass and the only reason I want to attack you (which I didn't even do, just said "not a cool move") is so I can obtain your "oh so rare and expensive" cigars is just plain bullsh*t. As has been said many times on many boards, an "I'm sorry" followed by an "f@*# you!" is not much of an apology. I suggest you take some time to cool your pride while on vacation and realize this is just not how things are done on quality cigar boards.

    Amen.
    I didn't see an attack anywhere in the previous posts, and actually all the replies were confined to legitimate issue with the handling of the pass:
    1. Value
    2. sending prior to approve
    Both issues were addressed straight up and without "insult", believe me, it could have been worse.

    Basil said he won't trade/pass with you......I wouldn't either, if not because of your pass behaviour, your response that BigMac Fu quoted would seal the deal. I would venture to guess that there are more members than just me that feel this way now.

    The pass host let you off on breaking the rule of sending prior to approval. The rules as listed in the first post sorta let you off on the value thingy "approximate value" is all that the rules state so I guess you get a lot of lee-way with the "approximate" qualifier.

    Oh, and I bet your humidor kicks the shit out of mine.....

    BigMac,

    Very nice plays on the pass!

    Taz,

    I originally called you out on your protocal and p/t's and was very nice in the way I approached the whole subject. You got off easy and not just by CigarSmokers standards. After reading your last post, I am saddened by your overall attitude. You do not get it. Take your "highly coveted" smokes, massive humidor assortment, and snide demeanor somewhere else.

    Shit- Tyler!!! I wish I would have known that before I bid 30 bucks each for a few of them at a damn good auction price!

    Those #55's are some of the rarest cigars in the world.

    I got it! Buy 'em up and sell 'em to tAzzhole for $25 each! That way, you make out and he has plenty of bargain rares he can use to rip off other passes!!!

    Not to worry! If tAzzhole moves quick he can snap up Tyler's once-in-a-lifetime deal and he'll have enough $30 55's to choke a pig like he fucking is and it's a good thing it's all posted here so when he decides to go to $45 we'll all know him once again for the scamming fuckwad he's shown us he is.

    LMFAO at your fucking humidor tAzzhole!!! So you think a dick measuring contest is going to win you points here? Think again - any cred you might've had went down the shitter with that remark.

    The only reason you got away with breaking the rule is that it was obvious you'd already pulled the trigger, and Roham exercised something in which you are sorely lacking: Common Courtesy.

    Best advice? Go pound sand up your ass you empty piece of scamming shit. Gentleman. Fucking please.

    Wow, I guess that since I smoke $3 cigars and have few, if any, "rare" or "valuable" cigars in my humidor, I must be a less valuable member of the community.

    I posted the prices from doing a search on line I would be happy t post the links. I thought that is what was being asked of me. As for a couple of the prices questioned on the Anos Belicoso they ranged from 17-19 so In put 18. On the 55. You find one for $10 please share from where. They are harder to find then Opus X. They go up for Auction both private and on line and $30 would be low. I saw a box at the last private auction I was at go for a grand. Is it worth it to each there own. AS for the Cohiba I would post the links where I got the prices but we are not allowed would also like to know where I can get real ones for $15. I really thought people would appreciate some hard to get sticks go ahead try to find them in stock it wont be easy. Except for the Cohiba.
    I guess what it is hard to believe how rude some of you are you do not have to worry about me getting involved in any passes our trades by the way Basil as for cred would you like to compare humidors I have know idea what you have but I would bet you would have a tough time comparing maybe not in quantity but in rarity and value. Yes I missed the rule but my trades were more then far. I will also bet unless you all try to prove a point the ones I put in will not be there at the end. So bigmacfu just take them put the values they have posted and you will be in great shape and enjoy some fine highly thought of smokes. I am use to Gentlemen groups and I can see that is not important here. By the way what sticks did I take that were so hard to find or expensive. let me think oh yea known. So a problem that I missed a rule yes my bad, fairness or being attacked that is all on a few of you.


    Ya Taz... I'm calling you out on this shit... I think you owe it to the pass to buck up and send some more sticks along the way when you get back from your trip. Some "special treats" would be nice...

    And dude, seriously, check your grammar, not only have you come off as a total tazzhole, you write like you have a grade 6 education... It's hard to even read your last rant there...

    Does anyone know how old this guy is???

    Some examples you can work on in the future Taz:

    Fair not far

    none not known

    And dude, use some punctuation...

    Deleting your profile avatar and editing your last paragraph down to a "I give up" isn't going to make the problem go away...

    If you paid $30 in the US for this cigar, you:

    a) are an idiot
    b) are incredibly naive
    c) have a microscopic dick and you search desparately to find ways to compensate
    d) all of the above

    Found these for $15.26 per when buying 15, and cheaper for 25. They are real and they are in stock.
