What's the latest addition to your humidor?

I think it is cool to see what people get sometimes as long as the sender is unknown it seems like there would be no harm.

Good for you.

Good for you.

Thanks?

I probably should explain further that I'm not trying to be contrarian, just trying to carry a conversation regarding that specific subject to help me understand why it is considered bad form here. I know you explained to me one time that the members here didn't like to have things like this posted to keep them from being hassled by moochers, I do understand that, but if the sender remains anonymous there wouldn't seem to be any potential for that to happen to the sender.

You're right that the sender was not directly identified with the pic. That doesn't mean he's not identified though.

There are other factors besides exposure to moochers, like......what if you sent bombs to a couple of people. Would you want them comparing the "quality" of their bombs? All it takes to get that kinda shit started is one pic. Now, consider that maybe you've been a member of the board for several years and have sent, seriously, dozens of packages of cigars out. This could embarrass the sender, cause hard feelings etc.,etc.....

Personally, I make a post saying thanks to the brother....unless there is a note that tells me not to, which happens more often than you might imagine.

I appreciate the explanation. That all makes sense. Thanks man.

I was shocked to find...

Cohiba Siglo III's in aluminum tubes at a small vendor stand in Labadee, Haiti. Pricey, but definitely legit. It was the one thing he was not haggling prices! LOL

Trinidad Fundadore's at a Casa del Habano in Falmouth, Jamaica. Again - a bit pricey, but definitely the real deal!

I wished I would have been better prepared to make some purchases - the manager at La Casa del Habano was looking to deal on boxes. Coulda walked away with a nice haul. Unfortunately I went with the mindset that there was no such thing as "legit " cigars in Jamaica.
