I think it's okay, especially if we know the person we're sending to will enjoy it (like in a MAW). Plus, life's too short to even think about it, really. I mean, we all have a lot of similar cigars and will have sent and received a lot of the same things. How many bombs, passes and trades have UCs, HEs or Short Storys? I'd never want someone to feel they have to suffer through a cigar they don't like, or have it sit forever neglected in a humi, just because I sent it to them. Better to pass it on to someone who might enjoy it.

You could always start a re-gift pass.

I personally do not re gift. As has been stated many times, a gifted stick is yours to do with what you will.
As for the issue of not remembering who gave what I have a simple practice. A band or mark notating who is to blame for what I am about to smoke.

If someone thinks kindly enough of me to send me something, I intend to smoke them myself and to enjoy that gift as intended. Me personally I do not rebomb anything I am fortunate to receive in a a bomb.

With all the bombing of some fellow BOTL brothers I've done, I keep all the sticks I was gifted in return fire. Even the double's and triples. All the sticks I've sent to a lot of you are from my personal collection. Plus, since my palate is really out of wack, one day I can handle full bodied smokes, then the next can only handle mild smokes and the full bodied ones would bother the hell out of me. I just suck it up and smoke them anyway. It happens all the time and drives me nuts.
