logan 37's end got here. In great condition. Great contents.
Thanks to all you FOGs that are taking the time and effort to do this. Besides being a great value, we "newbs" get to see a lot of what local B & Ms just don't carry.
Well, though I'm no FOG, I'm sure the other sponsors would join me in saying you're welcome. I enjoy doing these packages, especially when the new member becomes active in the forum and eventually becomes a "senior member". So, please, all of you newbs, involve yourselves in the discussions and activities of the board.
We are different from most of the boards out there in that we truly believe this is a community, not just an "information board". There are many benefits to the community aspect of this board, as well as one main responsibility.......and that is integrity. We should all be looking for ways to contribute to the community, not take from it.
I have only lurked on other boards, but what you said here is the reason I decided to begin participating and getting involved here. I love to give, but not where I am taken advantage of in doing so. My attempt to out give the members of this board has been a failing effort so far. The information that is shared here is every bit as valuable as the cigars you may receive in any trade. I also love the effort that the senior members take here in exposing and running off all the "asshats". As a result the few that make it through tend to be the legit few. That, to me, is what separates this community from the other online cigar communities.
I apologize if this is seen as "hijacking" the Newbie Sampler thread, but in response to ashauler, I just wanted to get it said.
Thanks to all the regulars here and all you do to make this place the best online cigar community, in my humble opinion of course. :smiley2:
Well, since I'm pushin' 60, I didn't really mean O as in old, but FOG as in been around this board for awhile. Since I've reached this age, I find myself less likely to refer to anyone as old, in case they turn out to be younger than me! :smiley2:
And Oh yeah... you Newbs that are still considering this, but think you'd rather just go to your local B&M and pick for yourself, you're missing out on a great experience.
Happy to see that they arrived safely Matt. Hope you enjoy them!

The sampler exchange I am doing with JoshuaTow will be my last. I have enjoyed doing these over the last couple of years, and I have enjoyed "watching over" this thread, but all good things must come to an end.
I would like to extend a personal thank you to all of the sponsors who have participated. I know that no newblet has been disappointed with their end of any deal!! Kudos to all of you.
It looks like we need some more sponsors.......senior members, step up, do some samplers, meet some newbs....seriously, it's fun!! They don't all smell bad!
:smiley37:
Yep, I'm stepping away!
Glad I got to do an exchange with you before you decided to step away.
Thanks for the sticks, every one I've tried so far has been great.

Thanks for all you've done on this Jamie....and for all your contributions to the community overall! :smiley20:

I got DSmoke's end and the sampler is heading out when the PO opens!
Wanted to let any newbies out there that aren't sure if they want to do a sampler trade, that they should.
I've done one and can attest that these fine "gentlemen" will hook you up with some truely wonderful smokes.
So don't be shy, step on up and get a trade going you won't regret it.
Don
DSmoke's end is in the mail!
