Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur cigars! These are my favorite sticks and I'd like to trade with someone. Anyone interested? Three of my favs for three of your! :)

Thats a way to earn some cred!  As a newbie, my suggestion would be to offer to send your 3 (maybe make it a 5er to make postage worth it) up front, and have the other person return fire.  I am sure someone will take care of you real nice. :biggrin:

I would, but I have just had too much going in and out lately, darn near overwhelmed.

Good luck!

Is that like a bomb or something? I can do five! I've got 8 just sitting there. Unfortunately my B&M only has so much stock and I want to try some different cigars.

StogieDad

Kind of a blind trade.  It doesn't have to be all 5 the same.  You could send the 3 you wanted and 2 of anything else.  Once the geek that takes you up on it recieves, thye can send you five cigars back.  Good way to show you are legit.  I am sure someone will take you up on it.

There you go buddy! Exactly how I started earning cred on here as well! I'm in the midst of 2-3 trades 3 passes and moderating a pass or I would work with you as well lol...I'm sure there's a geek that will help you out tho, like StogieDad said!

And to answer your question...No it would still be a trade but since you are new it's customary for the Newb to fire there end off 1st so they can build some cred with the group!

I agree that less than five isn't worth it, due to the cost of shipping, unless they're some pretty expensive sticks. 

A "bomb" is simply sending someone an unexpected gift. A "blind trade" is when you send the sticks you're trying to trade to a geek, who then sends you five sticks of his/her choosing. Blind trades are a pretty good bet around here, as these guys are known to take care of each other, and us new guys, pretty damm well.

I'm a newbie until there's another 'noob to newbie' pass. I saw how the last one went, and I don't want to be left out of that!

I'll trade with you.  As the others noted, make it a fiver and we're on!

I'll PM my address to you - once the sticks arrive, I'll shoot a package back to you.  Just give me some hints on what you like or are hoping to try.

Should be fun!

Anthony, take it easy on Brad.  :biggrin:  Have fun.
