Title: 3 trades
Post by: McBryde on 11/05/2015 04:48 PM
I have 3 different trades going with guys that had sticks that I was wanting to try, I'll post all of them as they come in on this post. All 3 were blind trades in one way or another.

Gary's (Headfirst) part of our trade came in today He had 4 on my list that I wanted to try, and he sent bodyguards for each of them:

Thanks again Gary,

And Gary claims my excuses for blowing him up were baseless. The man is merciless! :biggrin:

I didn't hit you as hard as the noobs Gary, but hopefully there will be some goodies in there for you!

Didn't hit me as hard?  Hmm, maybe not in raw count but I'm loving what you sent.  I'm going to have to research this Area 9 business, thank you sir!

Dude umm those CAO area 9 Cigars are rather special because I believe you can only get them at CAO events they range from 5-20 yrs old its like the Area 51 of cigars. Not open to the public He hit you hard with those bad boys.

Thanks STL, I'm still so naive in the exclusives/HTF department...I'll hoard appropriately until I understand what I have here!

Well I got hit as well. Still trying to figure out what a couple of them are but the other 2 post sure explain what the one was with the white label that I couldn't find anywhere. Looks like 1 of the CAO Area 9 cigars!

Gary,

I'm glad they came in, in good shape. Yeah, those area 9's were a set that I got in my winnings last year in the toys for tots auction. I've had them in my humi for almost a year, so no telling how old they were before then. I just figured that if the cigar was one that was awesome and I really wanted more, then I was screwed on getting it, as none of those cigars were actually produced in any number that were attainable by me fro further smoking, so why even shoot myself in the foot with them! LOL I figured you could smoke them since you were wanting to try out more corona sized smokes.

Enjoy Brother,

Emerson

I had another trade land today from Justin (Gustoff):

This noob knows how to geek math as well! Thanks for the trade for the ones I was interested in, and thanks especially for the hitchhikers!

Late comment because of a crazy busy weekend. None of those cigars I sent have a ton of age, but they're all good. If you check out my virtual humidor, they're listed under blind trade.. I'm glad you like them! This was a great first experience on trade!

Eric, there was a note on my box that said "Arrived opened" from my postal lady. Evidently they didn't stay closed the whole way, but they arrived none the less! For you new guys, it's almost always money ahead to ship using the small flat rate shipping boxes. I like to put them in the box, then put the box in a flat rate envelope. It saves you anout another .15 I think as well. Plus it leaves a place on either end of the box to put another couple of cigars if you wanted to.

Oh, that's why you did that, I was wondering why it was a box in an envelope.

Post by: McBryde on 11/10/2015 02:53 PM
Yep! Sturdier packaging and cheaper, best of both worlds!
