I, for one, think it took some real balls for RY to post an update.

He was involved in a deal that went south for whatever reason and he was faced with the decision to walk away with 5 free smokes or come through on his end of the deal. And, given that he was catching hell from most everyone on this site (rightfully so), it's REAL easy to give everyone the finger and walk away.

As a noob, I kind of see where he's coming from, too. If I was involved in a trade with a more experienced smoker, I'd certainly wait to see what he sent me before picking out something to send back. It would really suck to receive a Cohiba, a Hemingway Signature, a Monty White, a Padron 1964, and in Opus X if you sent out a couple Rolys, a couple 8-5-8s and an Acid Nasty.

And, hey, I was a student once, too... I had to decide between cigarettes and milk at the checkout line, too. (cigarettes won)

But actions talk, so I guess we'll see if Sarge gets his smokes...
