    Default My first trade

    Hello all. I recently bought a couple boxes of Sancho Panza's and one box of Flor de Olivia's. I tried smoking each and found them to be too mild for my tastes. I was wondering if any of you guys enjoy smoking these, and would be willing to trade with me for some more full bodied smokes?

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to cigars, but to give you a feel for what sticks I like, I am enjoying the box of Don Kikki Browns I picked up very much. I have two boxes worth of the Sancho's and one box worth of the Flor's to trade, minus one each of course. These smokes have been sitting in my heartfelt powered tuporidor since I bought them about 2 months ago.

    I would be willing to trade with some of the more established members of the board, and of course I'd be willing to send my half first. Let me know.

    I meant the boxes that you bought which ones are they. There should be a description on the cigars

    if you lookat Sancho Panza Cigars the label will be either Brown, Yellow or Red

    For Flor de Oliva look at the band bellow where ut says Folr the Oliva, does it say Corojo, Gold, Maduro or just has gold leaves

    And some of you guys wonder why I'm kind of picky about spelling........

    Gee Hershey, the "h" and the "s" are awfully far apart on the keyboard.

    Geez u'r quick...

    Well at first I went by the reciept that famoussmoke sent me and typed in Oscuro. Then I looked at the box it came in and it clearly states Double Maduro. I'm actually such a noob that I don't know the difference between double Maduro and Oscuro.

    Oscuro – a.k.a. "Double Maduro", black, often oily in appearance; tend to be grown in Cuba, Nicaragua, Brazil, Mexico, or Connecticut




    Proves my newbness, too. I'll just say it slipped my mind.


    Also, I was on TNT's site and they had this under the SP's

    "Sancho Panza Double Maduro are full body value priced cigars from Honduras. Please note that lately we have had complaints from our customers in regards to draw, burn and overall quality."

    Thought it was kinda cool that they throw that warning out there.

    Well, I paid $37.95 for them.

    But what I really wanted was to do a trade for a sampler, rather than trade for cash. But I suppose I'd rather have the money than a bunch of cigars I don't like taking up all the room in my tupperidor.

    If anyone is down for a cigar trade, I am not able to describe what kind of cigars I enjoy very well, but I can say that the most important factor for me is the strength. I like to be able to feel the cigar buzz for an hour or two after the cigar was cashed. I really can't say enough about the Don Kikki browns. They pack a punch, burn super slow, and just look nice.

    So if anyone is willing to put together a sampler of sticks they'd think will open my eyes toward the broad horizon, or a sampler of cheapies that fit the description above, I'd appreciate it.
