Looking to buy and trade cigars

[Kenyth]

Actually, if I'm reading correctly, the post reads like he want's to trade with someone locally in person. Is that the case? If so, that should work out OK.

Actually, I am taking it easy. View this thread...newbies have been treated far worse than you have been. You maybe offering a trade in person, which is fine. I was just simply giving you advice that maybe people would be more prone to reply to your post if they had a little idea of who you are. Most people will ignore you when your very first post is asking to Trade Cigars. The thing that pissed me off the most about your posts is you stating that you really don't care about discussing cigars. If you are not interested in this, then you should not have joined this site. That is what this site is all about, if you are not interested, take a hike!

I am not eager to get at anyone. I did not mean to "attack" you, I just simply don't want anyone here to get screwed out of smokes. But, if you are only willing to meet in person, then I guess there is no way to get screwed. Please accept my apology. And I hope that you will stay and talk cigars.

OK OK OK

I will assume (no jokes please) that since he was offering to trade, even on his first post, he would be willing to abide by the un-written rule that he would have sent his end first. So I personally took no offense to his post.

NOTE TO NEMO:

I do not think any of these posts are a personal attack. As I am sure you understand, or will come to understand if you hang around or read the volumes of previous posts here, there have been many scammers and scumbags that have taken advantage of the good people here. As noted above many @ssholes come in and offer to trade then take off with the goodies without owning up to their end of the bargain. So naturally, the watchdogs here and at other boards have become somewhat jaded toward new members offering to sell or trade very early in their tenure. Please try not to take the skepticism personally.

I welcome you to the board and would be willing to trade with you (non ISOM) if you are willing to send your end first. I think most people here would vouch for me (even though I am an attorney ) so no worries on your part.

I'm not up to trading cigars through mail or however you send them. That's why i asked for people in toronto... if you live in the are and like cigars pm me and we can get together so that you can see what i have to offer. I know that down in the states it's a risky business dealing with cubans, however here you have people comming and going to havana every week. I was just trying to be straight forward... I am not a big cigar conesseur, i hardly smoke at all. Everything i have is for distribution.

Nemo, from which establishment did you purchase these in Havana?

Store, street vendor, through a third party, direct from the factory?

[Nemo]

Hugh, what difference does it make when i'm willing to open a box for you and let you smoke a cigar. I've read a coupple of those my cousin is a roller and i'm selling these for him posts... i don't want to get mocked hence i will spare you the sentimental story. I am suggesting this: the weekend is getting closer, you and a coupple of your cigar smoking friends get together downtown on some poshy patio and i will come by and smoke you some cigars.

[Hugh Jorgan]

A guy who admits he is not a cigar smoker, bringing back "cubans" to sell straight from Havana who doesn't want to give details on their origin = bad news.

It's the newbie that doesn't have a clue about authenication who's going to get screwed.


Don't waste your time.

Hugh I understand your scepticism... it's normal... that's why i'm going the extra mile by being willing to smoke you a free cigar... i know that i have to build up trust in my clientelle. You know well enough that the prices in stores in havana are pretty high 300 CUC (convertible pessos equivalent to us dollar), on the street you will get siglo 3's for 50 but it's almost guareanteed to be shit... if you go to the factory the price is slightly lower than that in the store, however if you know someone in the factory you can get good cigars for street price. The fact that i don't smoke as much as you do says nothing about my ability to get top of the notch cubans.
