Got my newb sampler!

[Synthetik]

Thanks to Funkycold5 I got my newb sampler today. Been waiting all week for it. I have to say though I am only familiar with the Rocky Patels. Is there a website I can find more imformation on these smokes? Finally filled my small 20 count! Had to go get a tupperdor this afternoon to throw the extras in... guess I should probably just buy a cooler like everyone keeps telling me :P.

The sampler thing here on this site is a great way to get people interested, thanks again to all the suggestions regarding hitting the newb sampler thread up. And thanks to Funkycold5 for building a sampler, especially over memorial weekend!

You're gonna like those, that San Cristobal is one of my favorites!

Nice job Andrew

Funky bombed me as well when I got my newb sampler. I spent the better part of one evening doing research on the variety of sticks he sent. He is a great BOTL!

For research on the Rocky's, check out: http://www.rockypatel.com/

I've been lucky and disciplined enough to keep only one humidor, although it's pretty good size. I don't smoke often, and am really too new to buy any more than a 5-er.

I hope you enjoy them.

Whats that unbanded cigar?

O.K., does anybody else object to the posting of pic's of trades/buys/bombs?
If this was something I had sent out, I would object to it being posted and ask that it be removed. I know this was a newb sampler deal and not a bomb, but does it matter?

Just my opinion and I'm curious what others might think.

Agreed. A "Thank you!" or "I'll get you back, you bastard!" thread will never go out of fashion, but it's a bit of a faux pas to itemize or show a picture of exactly what you got. When you show specifically what was sent, future deals/bombs/samplers etc run the risk of getting "compared", which never ends well, especially with money and noobs involved.

Good point.

Exactly my feelings as well.

I don't see a problem posting pics but if someone feels differently I don't see why they can't be accommodated. Well one thing is I don't want Big Brother to get upset if he or she thinks this board is being used for the distribution of Cuban cigars. That would be one of my worries.
