Just like the Subject says! I'm a newbie looking to build some cigar geek street cred! I'm looking to trade a nice 5-pack Winter Sampler (I say winter because some of the cigars are shorter, but still quality smokes for sure!) :thumbsup:

I've done some research on the site and understand that I will be shipping out my end 1st, which isn't a problem. Just looking to break some bread with some geeks!!!

In this sampler:

1- A Fuente Hemingway Short Story
1- H Upmann Legacy Robusto
1- Nub 460 Conn
1- Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur Epicure Natural
1- My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toro

If you look at this sampler you can get an idea of what I like, I also like monte's, sun grown lines, ashton's anything that's quality. Not looking for anything special in a trade just to give you an idea. I'm happy to try new cigars if they are good, this was 1 big reason I joined was to get some ideas on new cigars!

Just looking to get my feet wet and get someone to vouch for me! I'd love to get in on some of the Cigar Passes!

Hit me up if you'd like to trade!!

Thanks again for the nice welcome a lot of people said hello! It's cold here in the Midwest so not able to enjoy my smokes as much it's feezing!!!

Unless you specify cigars you're after, you're basically in a blind trade.  You'd have better luck, I think, soliciting as such.

Good luck!

Ahhh right on I hear ya...yeah I'm really jus looking 2 get my feet wet with the community. I don't have a problem trying some new cigars, I love medium-full body cigars, I've really been wanting to try the Ashton VSG"s, and monte platinum lines, but again I'm open 2 try suggestions as well. Just looking for something somewhat of comparable value and strength of cigar. Again I'm a newbie and just trying to earn some cred with the people. Let me know if this helps!

PM  sent.  Just a helpful hint, you want to add your address in your profile and should open up your humidor for viewing, or at least create a wish list so people can see what you have and want.

Lots of folks ship online and USPS likes a last name for the shipping label! Only active members with over 100 points will be able to see this.....  Just a thought.
