Title: Looking for a Trade
Post by: theque on 12/14/2013 02:09 AM
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
