BOTL Pipe Newbie Sampler Thread
- Thread starter Grrrrr609
- Start date
So after some post office dumbassery on my part, I have finally received Hopzilla's end of the trade. I was not prepared for the hurt he put on me. He sent over thirteen blends (!!), a MM corn cob, a Czech Tool, a wind cap, a folding pipe stand and a package of pipe cleaners (not pictured). I have no idea which to smoke first. You sir, have my respect. You are far too generous. Thanks, and Gig 'Em.
The baccy:
-Frog Morton Cellar
-Drew Estate Meat Pie
-Habana Day Dream
-GLP Odyssey
-GLP Quiet Nights
-Early Morning Pipe
-Smoking Hole
-Captain Hunt "Royal"
-Captain Hunt "Old Dog"
-Sutliff Pumpkin Spice
-PS Luxury Twist
-Costello Collection
-Boswell Virginia Slice

Damn!so... WaRevo and i have been hashing things out, back and forth, he doesn't NEED a piper noob package per se as he's an established piper, we can work something out if he lets me know what he can reasonably do, he just wants to get a little trade cred, meet some people, get established... long story short, i gave james WAAAAY too much leash and he done gone silly on me:
seriously, this looks like the SPONSOR'S SIDE! a DOZEN blends (escudo, mm965 eliz and navy rolls, tawney blackwoods and virginia woods, brigham klondike and hudson bay, and three "mystery aro's", points on that idea, sir!0, AND a fiver of solid sticks (three perdomo, a victor sinclair, and a NC h.upp that is at least two years old by the band), AND three amazing resto'd DrGrabows! seriously, we just allowed you to run WAAAY wild on this, man. o)
also, pipe porn. top to bottom, a westbrook, a starfire, and one without a line or style listed on it, but just a nice little age-worn sandblast. you and i both dig those older grabows, and you have a good eye for them.
james, i am sorry we took this long to get squared away, and this is an AMAZING selection all around. now i gotta figure out some "fair and equitable" return...
OMG There is not much more that one can SAY I am without words of what I was just hit With. OMG OMG OMG where do I go I am little shocked by what I just got as this is no where as I don't even know how to explain how I am feeling or want to share but OMG someone on here said I Messed with the Bull and I guess I JUST got hit hard by a HUGE bull with bigger horns then one could think. Sorry lost for words and Hard to put how one would feel.
So package made it. First thing I notice is a slight hole in the box and was like NOOOOO. So I open the box and go over everything and first thing I see is some Pipe Cleaners and tins of Tobacco OMG TINS OF TOBACCO 8 Tins, Germain's Plum Cake, Germain's Royal Jersey, Orlik Golden Sliced 100g, Mac Barens HH Latakia Flake 100g, Molto Dolce, Drew Estate Heirloom Cherry, Drew Estate Meat Pie, CAO Eileen's Dream. Then tucked in there is a HUGE MM Cob very nice looking over the top COB only 1 problem there is some bubble wrap still, Unwrap 4 PIPEs. This is over the TOP i said only had to toss in a Cob.... Cob pipe 1, Pipe 2 and Awesome Looking beautiful looking Meerschaum pipe wrapped in wax cloth and HAS an AMAZING STEM OMG.... Pipe 3 Poker Setter Says DGE on the bottom, Pipe 4 From Greece Lexander on left, EX/115-G on the Right, Pipe 5 Mr. Brog No. 43. Then it comes with a baggie in the baggie is a Hummi pack and 8 CIGARS. NOt just any cigars but some out of this world cigars...... However I found where the other part of that hole in the box went OMG an Illusione 68 took the blow of what went into the BOX as sad as that is to have a Beautiful little cigar like this take a huge hit, It took it for the rest of the Box as everything is in perfect condition. I need and want to say more but lost for more words. There isn't anything that could remotely explain how I feel. Everything is wonderful and MORE then every Expected or thought. I mean a couple of samples and a cob was all that was thought. I wanted to share without expectation of anything. I was said to have gone Crazy hahahaha THIS is MORE then Crazy then. OMG Christmas came early. Don't even know where to go from here.
Javajunkie Thank you sooooo MUCH for a wonderful package of awesome Tobacco, Pipes, and Cigars. that is over the top. I just ran out of Pipe cleaners so the extra is awesome too, Thank you for everything. There is no words

From my understanding you do, you can check out the rules on the first page of this thread. Not being a nOOb with cigars will make the initial trade more enjoyable IMO
Yeah pretty sure you brought this on yourself. LOLOMG There is not much more that one can SAY I am without words of what I was just hit With.

@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.
