Cigar Geeks

:happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday::happybday:

Welcome to the inaugural Birthday Bomb Exchange!  This will be a year long exchange to give all you uber-generous regularly attending geeks a chance to nail another geek with a killer bomb for their birthday.  Gone are the days of simply posting a :happybday: to help a geek celebrate their birthday, it's time to do birthdays geek style!

How it will work:

I will arrange who bombs who such that there's a PIF element to it.  You will be bombing a person whose birthday comes before yours, then a person whose birthday is after you will bomb you.  So first you bomb, then you get bombed (no, not that kind of bombed!).  I will not be publishing the sequence but will PM each participant who they are to bomb and when, so you won't know exactly who is hitting you though you can try to speculate if you want.

Who can participate:

You must meet all of the following:  minimum of 500 posts, minimum membership duration of at least 6 months, a spotless feedback record (PM me if you feel an exception should be made for a particular feedback issue), and I have to recognize you as a regular part of the active forum community that I'm comfortable will not flake on this when your turn comes around.  And please consider the fact that this will run for a year so if your birthday is in December and you know you'll be out of the country for 3 months around then, please don't sign up.  If something comes up when it's your turn just be proactive in communicating and we'll figure something out.

How do I sign up:

I will take sign-ups from now through 12 PM PST Sunday March 6th (if you already expressed interest I am considering you as signed up, see your names listed below).  You can sign up on this thread or in a PM to me.  Also, please PM me your birthday month and day (unless you are among those that I have listed below as already signed up, I have yours figured out).  DO NOT POST YOUR BIRTHDAY ON THIS THREAD, I'd like to keep it a little mysterious for everyone, part of the fun.

What needs to be in the bomb:

Cigars of course!  The bomb should have a minimum total value of $25 as customarily determined around these parts (CI box prices, etc), should contain at least 2 cigars, and each cigar should have at least a 3.5 star rating (so no pineapple white owls...unless it's a gag that is thrown in over and above the $25 bomb).  There's no minimum or maximum value on each cigar, just make sure they're not dog rockets.  There are no upper limits on the bomb value or size, hit that birthday boy or girl as hard as you please!  I also think it'd be fun to designate a particular birthday cigar similar to the new year smoke in the secret santa exchange, but it's not required.  If you want to include something other than cigars in your bomb you're welcome to do so, just please meet the $25 value in cigars first and foremost.

When will it start:

Monday March 7th it is on!  Yes Kent, you'll be the first to get hit! :thumbsup:

When will it end:

It ends on the last birthday among the participants, Kent will receive the first bomb and send the last one.

Here are the participants:

I'm going to modify the deadline to sign up to 12 pm PST on Sunday March 7th.  That still gives you east coasters until 3pm that day.  This will allow me to set a final order and get our first bombers lined up before Monday, 2 birthday bombs need to hit next week!   :dancing:

Can't wait to see the devastation this causes. :bigthumbs:

Happy Happy Birthday Boys!

Sign me up! :biggrin:

You got it fellas, welcome aboard!

Here's the updated list of geeks.  Just over 24 hours left to sign up and then I close this up and kick it off!   :dancing:

Longhorn writes name on a piece of paper, folds it up, and drops it in the hat.   :biggrin:

NOW the birthday party can start! :-)  :dancing:

Alright, we're all set!  I'll send PMs shortly.

PMs with bombing targets have been sent out to everyone, let me know if you didn't hear from me.  Looking forward to seeing the birthday hauls land!

Look forward to playing!

Thanks for setting all this up, it looks great!

Got my Birthday person.  Thanks

Thanks for setting this all up Gary!

E

Got mine ~ thanks Gary

Make sure you put up a wishlist so we have some good ideas!!!!!

Got mine Birthday Boy! thanks Gary

Get the popcorn boys, gonna be a show around here!!

Will you posting/updating the initial post of this thread with dates?

Daniel,

Do you mean showing when everyone's birthday is?  I thought about that but then people can more easily guess who might be hitting them, so I intentionally posted the lists of people alphabetical.  Maybe I'll update with a status of who's been gifted so we can see how the list whittles down?  I'm open to suggestions if that's not what you meant.

Quotejohncw - 3/7/2016  5:20 AM

Make sure you put up a wishlist so we have some good ideas!!!!!

 :word:

This is exactly what a wishlist is for, presents!

Someone brought up a good question:  Do I need to keep my identity a secret in the bomb sent?

Not necessarily.  I like the uncertainty of the recipient not knowing ahead of time who is going to hit them, and the uncertainty for the group of not knowing when the next bomb gets posted, but I think it's ok to let them know in the package who gave it to them.  If you want to leave them guessing be my guest, but eventually I think they'll be able to figure it out anyway.

And I do feel somewhat like an evil mastermind knowing it all and everyone else being somewhat in the dark, so let's keep that feeling going!   :biggrin:

Birthday Destruction Has Begun
The Infamous Creator of CG Paul nailed me good. :dancing:
Thank You so much Paul. Looking forward to turning everyone of these beauties to ash in the near future.  :thanx:
 :party:  :happybday: to me!!!!!!!

Well done Paul  :thumbsup:

Nice work Paul, way to kick things off, and Happy Birthday Kent! :bigthumbs:

Happy Birthday Kent! Great hit to start it off!

First post is updated with the complete list of geeks playing and the status.

Nice birthday hit Paul.

Wow, that is a doozy of a birthday gift!  Good way to star it off Paul.

Happy Birthday, Kent!

well done Paul

Happy Birthday Kent!!! Great job Paul!!

Nice way to start things off Paul!

Very nice! Happy Birthday Kent!

Great start!!!

Gary, now that is a great idea.

You can count me in, if you'll have me of course.

I would have signed up earlier but the part of the world I was in doesn't get Internet besides the few sites the totalitarian regime permits. :shamebag:

Cool game.  I will need to work on my post count for next year.

Mojo66 is in, understandable extenuating circumstances there, I'll PM those affected.

CharlieDon'tSurf, post count was not hard and fast (see exception made for druff) but just a way to try and limit this to geeks I was confident would be around in a year.  If you're still around next year and this thing was actually successful enough to repeat post count won't be an issue for you.

Thanks Gary, this will be fun.

By the way, the Geek that gets to bomb me should know, I now only smoke uni-dimensional sticks... I'll soon update my wish list accordingly  :shy:

Wouldn't want to be your victim then, who wants uni-dimensional sticks   :shy:

Geez, Gary.  You had to let the guy with all the lousy ISOM's in on this?  WTF?   :biggrin:

I know, I just diluted this thing, he asked real nicely though :biggrin:

Nice idea sign me up :thumbsup:

Alright Jeff, you're in.

HAppy belated Jason! Damn nice package there.

That's what she said!

Another great birthday present. :thumbsup: This is fun to watch.

Well, somewhere in the midst of it all, Jeff Ward has fallen off the site. I sent him a birthday bomb a while back, and sent him a tell about it to make sure it got to him ok, but he still hasn't answered the pm from 5/12/16, so who knows.

Not for that to deter from what I got in the mail today from Johcw though! Thank you good sir for hitting my wish list. I'm looking forward to smoking each and every one of these babies!

So did Ward screw somebody out of a birthday bomb on his turn?

No, he sent one to Jason Harris before he left.

Jeff did send a birthday bomb and he did get one though he didn't stick around to show off what E sent him.   :angry:

Bomb recipients please remember to give some feedback, E's probably screwed on that too...   :mad:

It's all good, I think I can manage without 1 feedback.

Apparently Doug had me on the Birthday Bomb Exchange, and handed me a sweet selection of cigars. He's been paying close attention to what I enjoy, so all of these are right in my wheelhouse.  Glad I took this photo at the time, because I've already torched 3 of these.  Thanks again, Doug!

I received my birthday bomb yesterday from Rob. We just got home from the hospital today and are still trying to get settled in. I will get a picture ul in a day or so once we are settled. I will say he hammered me. Thank you so much Rob. Pictures to fillow soon.

Sorry for the delay. We are finally settled back in and I am at a computer that I am able to upload pictures on. Here is the Birthday Bomb that Rob (sar127) sent me. Thank you very much Rob!! I am totally humbled by the package that you sent.

Sooooooo  Trent received his Birthday Bomb lets say over a month ago but must have been toooo busy to acknowledge it.  :angry:  :angry:

In his defense he seemed to be out of town quite a bit at the time and had to deal with his first bomb to Chuck going into the usps black hole.  What Chuck posted was fire #2 from nola.

Not necessarily, just saying he may have had a lot happening, really not like him in my experience so I'll give the benefit of the doubt.  The best of us have had slips like this.  I did send him a pm about posting but after him having to double down on Chuck's bomb I decided not to nag him again over it since he did sound pretty preoccupied.  I suppose I should've let you know that's how I decided to leave it.  Hopefully he at least thanked you somehow.  He is supposed to give you feedback so if he didn't do that let me know.

Not looking to feel better  :moon:  In fact it is hard to be better than awesome. I just get tired of excuses.
Seems to me I have been pretty busy also the last month or so but didn't want somebody to get their Bday Bomb late so I just took it upon myself to make it happen on time (early in fact).
and I repeat "Oh that makes it OK I guess"  :banghead:

Wow, so much Drama. I haven't been here a while but still have been lurking and I felt I needed to say that this kind of Drama is one of the reasons I don't come here anymore. You'd figure this community's members are all adults that don't need to moralize, that don't see the point in trying to be bigger or better than others, but you'd be wrong.

That self appointed etiquette police is laughable and does make me want to stay gone, not that I think I've been missed or anything, just stating a fact.

This has absolutely nothing about anyone being bigger or better, it started out as just pointing out facts and has turned into a s**t storm. I may have gone a bit overboard but I get tired of continual excuses by and for people that don't hold up their end. This is only a small example. I try to do the best I can to follow thru on all that I do, I realize that is not as big a deal to some as others,and so be it. Sorry if you were offended but just speaking my mind.
Carry on

Just wondering if this is still going .Haven,t seen any posts or pictures lately.
