Title: Favorites trade!
Post by: mcconnaugheya on 02/27/2014 01:27 PM
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.

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!

Reposting as it looks like the previous one was lost when the servers were moved...  Anthony sent these sticks my way and got them earlier this week and they earned him his first "Feedback Stripe!"   Thanks!   :-)
