BOTL Pipe Newbie Sampler Thread

[hopzilla]

Is it fair to say that 5% of the guys on this thread take care of 95% of the noobs? I mean that only in a "you guys kick ass" kind of way!

And on that note, what are the prereqs to pick up a noob? I know I don't meet the noobie cigar trade requirements, but I don't recall of they're similar here.

there are only so many of us who are commited pipers, and then so many who have a deep enough stash to sponsor.

as for sponsorship, hit utah up, it's his baby.

Once you receive the cigars, you shall send your sampler. The sampler shall contain a minimum of, an MM cob, pipe tamp, pipe cleaners, and 5 samples of at least 1/2 ounce. A sample such as this will fit into a SFR.

I was thinking more along the lines of "must have a 100% rating after X number of trades" like the cigar newbie thread states. I don't see anything like that on page one, so maybe there's no such constraint here.

from page one
Requirements:
It is my belief that the BOTL Newbies come to this site for cigars, we just want to offer to expand their love/hobby/addiction to pipes and pipe tobacco. Yes, push you down the slippey slope. So with that said, it is required to have a 100% trader rating of one (1) and participated in the Cigar Newbie Sampler Thread. (Requirements subject to change)

 

[hopzilla]

That's for the newb, not the sponsor.

 

[thedismaltrade]

10-4 misunderstood your question and can't answer it either but Utah can!

 

[Bubb]

Okay you got me I would like to sign up as a noob.

 

[UtahRootBeer]

I was looking through the past threads and I couldnt find it, I fell asleep. If I find it I will post later its my opinion that anyone who wants to be a sponsor would meet any requirements I would set anyway. As long as you have done the trades, been a all around good dependable brother and have sufficient supplies to cover your end I dont have a problem.

They found their way. 12 half pint jars that are damn near full already. Oh mama, what have I gotten myself into?

Thx so much Clint. That was very thoughtful brother!

 

[King Kill 33]

I should share a pic...

 

[cgraunke]

@King Kill 33
Lookin' good, buddy!
Glad they made it safe.
So, what's you're favorite based on tin note alone?

 

[King Kill 33]

I don't know what that means, but I had one called Voodoo Queen that I thought was great.

 

[cgraunke]

Oh. Ha! I mean the smell of the unburned tobacco right from the tin (or now jar)

 

[King Kill 33]

Probably one called Mark Twain or that Voodoo Queen. I tried to get the tins that Sean sent open for a smell. Is there a secret? I can't for the life of me get the lids off any of them...!

 

[cgraunke]

Leave them sealed until your ready to try them, as once you crack that seal you should probably transfer it to a jar. I had to use a small screwdriver to pop the seal on a few tins. Just grabbed a small terminal screwdriver, inserted as far as I could, and a slight twist was all it took.
