@Zmilin, we DO want you to do the newbie sampler trade before you roll through here. we are a cigar forum first, and that first sponsored trade should really be your first trade interaction with another member. that said, BELEIVE ME, having sponsored a BUNCH of guys over time, not all of them were n00bs, and some have sent me searching for an adequate trade response. keeps the sponsors on their toes, really. it's less about being a cigar n00b, more about being a forum n00b, and having a chance to meet someone, trade with an approved sponsor, and hopefully give them hell and make a rep. o)

speaking of making a rep, james, you REALLY didn't think i could take a trade like that lying down, now did you? you went CRAZY on your side. plus i enjoyed our back and forth during the preparations. as a sponsor, my duty is to ensure that you feel you have been dealt with fairly and equitably, and when in doubt to err on the side of caution. i may have been TOO cautious on this one, but f#@k it, i had fun, and you deserved it.

seriously, a pleasure, sir, and i truly hope you enjoy as. uh time here as you chose. and you love thos episodes as much as or more than i, they were all hard to come up off of, but i do hope they treat you well.
I understand and I do feel like I took a beating. So far I couldn't help my self and have smoked the awesome new MM Cob 4 times. That thing is nice and large. The meer wow beautiful pipe and can tell it was cherished well, I will take it and cherish it from this time till I am no longer. Didn't need much if any cleaning but I know how I am and cleaned the stem well, loaded it with some tobacco and enjoyed it today. The others are in clean rack (not that they need much) and will smoke them and post as I do. Everything sent was way more then I had ever expected, I would have been happy with a cob and a couple of samples. You know enough to get me through the weekend. Not a months worth . It will last more then a month do to daily rotation. You get my meaning. I honestly hope that you can find enjoyment in what I have sent. Nothing compared to damage you put on me.

The End (NOT)

James

Just for clarification purposes... As I don't want to seem like I'm trying to skirt whatever the final decision is here. Before (or just after) I had posted my desire to do the noob pipe trade I also messages Grrrr the same question. I did read the criteria and it stated "subject to change". If the cigar noob trade is simply to establish a trader rating I've already got a couple trades under my belt.
Again, I'm only posting this for clarity so it does not seem as though I'm trying to get around things and piss people off. In no way my intent.

I'll just sit back, read more and wait for whatever the final answer is.

I believe we want to give out samples so folks can try some different things and not get stuck with something that doesn't work for 'em.
@K Williams it also gives you an excuse to open some of that massive amount of baccy you've been buying! Without a reason you might just leave it and not know you need to buy more...

Im sure what you sent will be great. I don't have an extensive collection (yet). Just hoping to send you something you may not have tried yet. And one from the B&M I figured you would for sure like.
At a family function so haven't been able to check my mailbox. Mine should be waiting!

Something else on the way to you...the first tobacco blend I smoked. Thanks for throwing in those top notch cigars(La Flor de Las Antillas & the JdN).
