Got my cigars from slcraiders today! A real good selection, I can't wait to try them out. I'm not sure what a few of them are based on the labels so I'll have to look into that.
Thanks slcraiders!

Received my end today. You are far too generous Mark and I haven't tried a lot of these! Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

**sammis** · 08-22-2009, 10:16 PM

Package on its way to Young Forbes, shipped yesterday. Enjoy!

**sammis** · 08-22-2009, 10:20 PM

Have a deal in the works with mtschust.

Should be sending out the package Monday

**slcraiders** · 08-22-2009, 11:02 PM

Jamie,

You can mark the trade between BlueSmudge and I as complete.

Thanks!

**FunkyCold5** · 08-23-2009, 08:10 PM

Jamie,

SMEG has stopped communication. Last communication with him, he said he sent the check. No check and no response. Put me back on rotation please.

Back from vacation and I think I have the first post updated.......sponsors, please review your trades and let me know of any errors.

**sammis** · 08-25-2009, 09:17 PM

Trade with Young Forbes complete. Good trade, no problems.

Trade with mtschust on hold per his request. Should take place the beginning of september.

**ashauler** · 09-01-2009, 08:34 AM

Well, after a little over a year of maintaining this thread, I'm gonna have to let it go. I would like another senior member, preferrably with at least a year on the board to take it over.

It really doesn't require a whole lot of work, mainly updating the first post and ensuring that the rules are followed and the once in a while helping hand.

If you're interested and qualified, shoot me a PM and we'll get it worked out.

A HUGE thank you to all of the sponsors and the newbies that have participated over the last year.

It's been my privilege to be involved.

**heftysmokes** · 09-01-2009, 08:40 AM

Jamie, thanks for doing such a great job taking care of the NST. Your contributions to the board are much appreciated.

**Irish79** · 09-01-2009, 08:54 AM

Thank you for all of your work Jamie. I know as a new member of this board the NST was invaluable. Thanks to you and ALL of the sponsors.

**FactoredReality** · 09-01-2009, 08:07 PM

Yes indeed, big round of applause to Jamie for maintaining a great part of this forum.

**ashauler** · 09-02-2009, 12:25 PM

O.K., bigwhiteash has stepped up to the plate and volunteered to take over this thread. Please join me in thanking him, I know he'll do a fantastic job. You should see a sticky for Newbie Sampler IV in the next couple of days.

Thanks for all the kind words, and thanks to everyone who has participated during the time I've had it, it has been a pleasure.
