You can do you newbie trade for cash. May be an option for you...

Yeah I don't know, this thread is incredibly intimidating because the packages from the "newbs" really don't look like any new person I've ever met. The cash might be an option, depending on how much I suppose. I'd be able to send something out this weekend, I'll have to take a look at what I have.

Don't be intimidated. I'm new to cigars as well. And when I sent my noob trade I was worried about what i sent and blown away by what my sponsor (Hogfarmer thank you again!) Sent me in return. The whole point of the noob trade is to make a friend that knows more than you. All the vets (and all the noobs too) on this site are always eager to help if they can. No one. I repeat no one would knock you for not having the best cigars. We're not here to judge anyone. This is a community and a brotherhood. I would encourage every noob to sign up for this. And besides id be willing to bet money the sponsors do this because they love the hobbie and love smacking the noobs around with the kindness that only a botl can. And not in hopes of getting top end sticks. There are other threads for that.

WELL SAID. As a noob myself, I was worried if the sticks I sent would be good enough as well.

You guys have some great looking sticks. I'm stuck on the super newb level.


I could be interested in a cash deal? Or a small trade.

Don't you be intimidated by that stash you got! For a noob....which we all were at one point...you've got some good sticks in that box!!! Trading with these vets is not about trying to blow them away. Its about sending someone what you like to smoke and having them show you some new sticks! Welcome to the brotherhood!

I felt the same way, and was embarrassed to send my end. (I'm also new to cigars, not just new to the forum) But as long as you've done your introduction then put yourself in here for a trade. Your sponsor will work with you and will build the trade accordingly. Just jump in. It's a good way to get interactive with some of the veterans here!

Well put.

I was thinking the same thing but I ended up doing a cash deal with ATL (adam) for my first newbie trade and needless to say I got some fantastic stuff so it was well worth it. Nothing like having a bunch of killer sticks to try out! DO IT
