Someone buy me this and I will definitely make it worth your while.

Yup... I have the same reservations. In fact, if someone asked me to do that I would politely step out of the deal.

It just doesn't feel right to me. If you want to browse, I think the local B&M is the appropriate place.

I think it is a good idea if you are trading with someone just so you don't get sticks you already have. I didnt want to send him this box of CAO's and have him send me something I already have. I asked him to post the pics just so I could see that someone had a selection of cigars I hadnt tried.

Blind trades are a different story, I guess.

Hey - if you wanna post pictures of your humi, have a ball. But if it's a hangup about "let me see what you got before we do a trade" thing - well - just kinda feels all yucky to me...

If you want to know what they are going to send it's a simple matter of asking. Blind trades are just that... blind trades. Even so, there is nothing wrong with asking that certain cigars be excluded.

It just seem so... "tacky."

I do see you guys' points. However keep in mind that if there are certain sticks that I wil not trade and someone requests them I will politely let them know they are untradeable to me.

Most people will understand because we all have our "special" stash or super rare special occasion sticks. If someone doesn't understand that, then they either need to be educated. If they still don't understand then yes a trade would be off.

Just so everyone knows he has not even requested a single stick that he has "seen" on my pictures. We talked about what he likes, he sent me a list of his faves or want to try sticks. Not a single one of them was something visible(except for maybe one) in the picture.

"Why can't we all just get along"

Woah!! We are all getting along. I am not angry about anything, and I don't believe anyone else was. I was just stating what my own reaction would be in the situation.

I don't know why...the quote just popped in my head!


We have a winner!!!! Thank you for the entries kind people!

I guess I have a bit of a different persepctive on this... There are cigars I've gotten I really don't care for (for whatever reason) - but noone would ever know it. I don't want them to know it. I want them to send me whatever it is they will send me - and I always want them to know I appreciate what's been sent to me. I don't want anyone to ever feel like they have to raid their "special" stash to make me happy. Smoking a great cigar (from el cheapo to OMG pricey) is "special" to me.

I understand the enthusiasm and wanting to try different cigars to a point - but my parents taught me to never look a gift horse in the mouth. wing - I'm sure you haven't sampled that many cigars that someone would be sending you duplicates at this point...

Forget "can we all get along" - my mantra is "Luke - trust the force..." wing - build up a reputation for yourself. Make some purchases - do some blind trades. Let the people in this community get to know you. Look - I don't want to tell you how to play the game - JUST PLAY NICE!
