    Blind trades are a different story, I guess.

    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!

    BTW - Just about every package I receive has duplicate cigars - but sometimes I really like getting duplicates (i.e. Opus X, Anejo's, RASS's, VR Famoso's, etc.)

    Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...Ejecting asshats must be done. There is a difference is some one making a mistake and being an asshat.

    Asshats usually shout at the top of their lungs "I'm an asshat...What are you gonna do about it"?

    Read some old posts and the difference will become clear.

    We do like and respect good members - we don't like or respect asshats. That's the difference for me.

    Does that clear it up?

    I agree with most. I've gotten cigars that I know are to me. But the person that sent them to me thinks they are awesome. I look back on my first bomb and think, did I really send that??? I'm never going to say to anyone that took the time to package a bomb go to the Post Office and send it that "your selection sucks!"

    If someone wants to make sure they don't get duplicate cigars, they should just tell the person they are doing the trading with. For many of us, we just ask the trader what do they like. What is their goto cigar. That gives you an idea of what to send them.

    Well, that just my opinion.
