Posting details on GIFTS/BOMBS is a definate no-no. Posting details on something you purchased from a fellow BOTL, is something I personally wouldn't do, just seems like bad form.
These were a purchase, and since we don't know how much Synthetik spent on them, there's really no danger in being "compared" to other newbie samples.
I personally prefer the innocuous " I'll Get You.. You Bastige" type of thread.

Let's all keep in mind, this is a photo of a newbie sampler...key word "newbie." The guy just sounds pretty happy with his newfound goodies and I'm sure a quick PM to him would have rectified the situation.

Agreed and understood. I apologize if my post came off as any kind of attack on Synthetik, it was not meant to be. I intended it to be a question for the board. If it was my sampler, I would have shot the PM as soon as I saw the post.....but since it wasn't, and seeing no other objections, I didn't.......Originally Posted by heftysmokes
The lack of this knowledge is exactly why I don't think it should be posted.......I think it would be natural for recent newbs that have participated in the thread to look at the photo and do somewhat of a "comparison" to what they received. With no point of reference........bad conclusions could be reached.
Point is, all of it could just simply be avoided.

I agree with your points 100%. Maybe you could make a point in the new sampler thread that the newbies should ask their sponsor before disclosing to the board what they received or just make it a simple "no show" policy.
Hell, it might already say it, I'm just too lazy to go look.

Good idea......I'll go re-read the rules and amend them if necessary.

I see your point.... maybe a rule amendment IS in order!

I added rule 8 to the newb sampler III thread.......this isn't my thread, but rather one owned by the whole board.....comments or suggestions are welcome.

Guess I'll have to head back over to Cigar Live to look at the "quality" bombs they send out everyday.
*not saying this was not a quality selection.
