QuoteFoe - 12/22/2012  1:02 PM  Houston, we may have a problem...over the course of many PMs, SirShake and I had finally worked out a trade for his T52 Robustos...my end of the deal was going to be a sealed box of San Lotano Oval Robustos, a partial box of Undercrown Corona Vivas, along with a partial box of fourteen aged MOWPAs...I didn't have the requisite San Lotanos but promised him I would procure 'em...and like a dummy, I went right out and did just that before making sure I had SirShake's end of the trade in hand first...so now it's been almost two weeks since he promised to ship his end...he logs on as recently as last night yet ignores my PMs...PMs in which I've been respectfully inquiring as to the status of his side of our agreement...no response...so unless SirShake comes through, I'm ostensibly I'm stuck with a sealed box of San Lotano Ovals I have no desire to keep or smoke...anyway, I figured I'd throw a flag on the field here, so to speak...

Not cool at all.

A wise geek once told me that moving up from a daily smoke to a weekly or even bi-monthly smoke would be worth it, if I could learn how to appreciate a really really good cigar. -southernrun

Ya he seemed a bit odd in the way he went about everything. I mean I don't have every cigar there is or even the best but out of over !,500 cigars now he said no to everything but FULL boxes? He was told repeatedly to do an intro and given advice and chose more or less to ignore all of us?

@Foe even if he does come through and contact you I'm NOT real sure I would be sending all those nice pretty new boxes to him without him sending first. Just MHO.

No worries, I told him he had to send first in the very beginning...

@Foe, please don't let this bad experience think we are all like SirShake.  99.99999% of us here are honest, hard working BOTL's who would never do such a thing.  On the plus side at least you still have your sticks, hopefully you can trade or sell them quickly.

Zero chance I would think that of my fellow Brothers of the Leaf here...and this SirShake fellow may yet show his quality, as they say...

Well, SirShake logged in and read my most recent PM as of the 27th...he didn't reply, nor have I received his end of our deal...so I'm forced to assume he's chosen the path of no honor...any advice on how severe the hit to his trader feedback should be? A negative is deserved, no doubt, but since I technically did not lose anything, a neutral might be the one to mete out...however, it could be argued that I did lose out because I purchased cigars for this deal that I never would have otherwise...speaking of which, anyone interested in purchasing a sealed box of San Lotano Oval Robustos for $120 shipped? I'll even let the buyer defer payment for up to a month just to free up room in my coolidor!

I would be willing to buy/trade a 5pk of these if it helps you out. Stinks what sirsuck did to you, but those of us on here that don't suck azz like sirsuck, would all probably be interested in some sort of deal to help you out. I say, toss a cool BOTL proposal out and let's see what happens!

Me personally, I was kinda interested in his initial offer, but after watching/reading his reactions to sane and sound advice, my gut told me F%#&K NO!!  :biggrin:

Well, there appears to be no real harm done other than the guy showing himself to be a real a-hole and some inconvenience for Foe. Foe, I'm sure you can move those sticks with little difficulty because there are people here who like them. I guess the best thing to do is just for everybody to remember his name, leave a black flag in his feedback, and push on.

After this episode, I doubt anyone will ever be willing to do bidness with him on this forum ever again.

Is $120 for the whole box shipped a good price?

Yeah, my gut was trying to tell me...but stupid me, I ignored it,...anyway, if I were a fan of AJ's cigars, it'd be fine...his stuff just doesn't fit my palate, unfortunately...

Yeah, I suppose my leaving a negative mark will spare anyone else the same headache...

Dale, a negative mark on feedback is definitely warranted . . .  you went out of pocket to make the deal happen and he welched on it.

NOTE TO SirSnake: Many of us are on other boards as well.  We have your real name, You should make this trade right with Foe or you won't be trading anywhere.  ... And at this point you need to send your end first.
