I am looking for a senior member (or someone who know a bit about cigars) to trade with. I will obviously send my item(s) first, so that should elevate any hesitations.
What I have for trade:
Up to 5 Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Churchill
Up to 5 Diamond Crown Maximus Toro
Up to 5 Diamond Crown Robusto No. 4
Up to 5 Diamond Crown 1895 Perfecto
1 Diamond Crown 2013 Holiday Collection Gift Set
----Box has 3 Double Belicoso's; Maximus, Julius Caeser and CFW
What I want:
Well I do not know; thus wanting a senior person who could suggest something good to try. The only thing is it has to be in pairs, meaning we need 2 of any specific cigar because both my girlfriend and I smoke. I am not necessarily trying to trade the full lot of stuff in one go; just listing what we consider extra's of for trade. This can be a blind trade as long as you agree to send anything in pairs.
Thanks in advance for looking,
-Ray

I don't understand what you mean, "1-5 Diamond Crown ... ". Do you mean one 5-pack?

Sorry, I see the confusion. I mean I have up to 5; like between 1 and 5. I can see how that was confusing. Sorry about that.
I edited it to eliminate confusion. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
Thanks for the reply. Good luck with the trade, I'm sure someone will be along shortly with an offer.
Ok ill play, haven't "greeted" a noon yet. Pm sent
Would love to trade with you but after looking at the prices of these fine sticks I don't have any that are comparable that I can trade in pairs. Would be willing to trade a pair of mine per single of yours if you are also willing to. Let me know.
I'm up for it brother. I have some goodies that you are guaranteed to enjoy...let me know.

I am up for almost anything. We just dropped a ton of cash on DC cigars and though a good way to try new and other stuff was to trade. Send me a PM with what your thinking.

The gift set and 2 Maximus are gone. Other than that, we are definitely up for an adventure. PM me with what you are looking for.
PM sent.
Still have a bunch of DC sticks I am willing to part with. I am looking to trade for some variety. I do indeed love the DC sticks, but in all honesty there is no way we can afford this burn rate. I need to find some $3-$8 sticks we can put into our rotation. I am trying to get our cigar budget under $500 a month, and that is not possible at the rate we are smoking $12-$18 cigars.
I might be able to work with you on that -- would love to try some of those Diamond Crown cigars. Let me look at my collection and see what i can come up with, and i will PM you if I have anything to trade.
PM sent, and a free lesson on geek math...can't wait!! :biggrin: :shades:

Styxxx,
We do not know what we like and do not like. There are only two cigars, out of the 30 or so we have tried, that we did not like. That is the AF Candela and the Ashton Maduro.

Got you packed up today, will get in the mail tomorrow brother!
Hey Ray, I remember seeing your original posts in CG, but I can't remember the "we" part. Just curious, the "we" you mention, who does that consist of? By the way, you're in for some ordinance in this thread.... Watch your mailbox! Geek math.... You guys...
We is Lindsay (my girlfriend) and I. We both just started smoking cigars a few weeks ago and are enjoying it quite a bit.
nirab,
Your package should be in your mailbox. Hope you enjoy them.

I had a feeling I was not going to live that one down. As soon as I saw the replies, I thought "crap this is gonna last a bit..."
"Houston to Ray."
"Go ahead, Houston."
"Um, yea Ray, just checking to see if contact can still be made."
"All good here, Houston."
"Not for long, Ray. Godspeed. Houston over and out."
Styxx,
Your sticks are in the mail. Enjoy.

The Julius Caeser has a wonderful flavor when you exhale through your nose after the first 1/3. Bloody addictive!
Have fun!

Ray, looks like you should have these today. Merry Christmas to you and Lindsay!
Michael,
One of the two packages arrived today. I assumed this was going to happen as there are also a few gifts I ordered that did not arrive either. Something going on with our postal service in the Bay Area right now. Will post pics shortly.
Michael,
You have outdone yourself sir. This is not even close to an equatable trade; I obviously got the better end of the deal here as these are wonderful sticks you sent.
Merry Christmas Mike, we cannot thank you enough for your generosity.
-Ray and Lindsay
Can't get enough of those Alec Bradley Tempus cigars. They are awesome.
Mike you are awesome! It was a great Christmas Eve surprise. I can't wait to try these bad boys... have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again!

Glad you enjoyed! The second was just the two on the enclosed list Iforgot to add. Enjoy them, Merry Christmas geek style!

Got your package today. Well done sir. Well wrapped and presented, excellent hand written note and a CD of music.
Have not decided who's getting the single yet, but it will probably be Lindsay heh.
Thanks again.
Well done man!
Hope you feel the geeks treated you right on you're first foray!
Brian is a great Geek - well done!
Geeks more than did us right. We will be paying it forward several times this year.
I am glad you like my choices Ray. Knowing that you will be giving Lindsay the only single cigar that I sent will ensure that you will not be single in the future! Yes, I am a cigar geek, and a relationship therapist! :biggrin: :bigthumbs: :crazy:

So I just received Styxxx's end of the trade (It actually got here yesterday but the leasing office had it). On first impression I thought he must have spoken to Santa and realized I was on the naughty list and sent me Coal because it was so heavy. :cry:
Upon opening the package I see that he went the extra mile, maybe 2 or 3 miles, and sent the items in a 10 count Herf-A-Dor :dancing:
Wow, you outdid yourself Styxxx.
