Thanks my friend for the sticks. They will be immensely enjoyed!!
Now even more I have to talk the wife into giving me some cash for a newbie sampler trade.
 
That's a very good decision. My first newbie sampler trade was a great experience. The sticks I received were very impressive. Now, if I could only find the right time to enjoy them..

Unless there is something I don't know, I don't think the Newbie Sampler Trade pertains to that rule if you send your end first. Maybe times/rules have changed since I did mine.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Any newb is welcome to trade in the Newbie Sampler Trade as long as they follow the guidelines laid out in the first post by Rod (fyi- I'm one of the traders).

We have had a bit of a lull as of late, so Gonnagal, go to the thread and PM the next person in line! :thumbs: $50 is the minimum for a sampler.
 
Newbie Sampler Thread FAQ

1. What is the Newbie Sampler Thread?

A: A place where a Newbie (or anybody actually) can trade for a variety of Cigars. This thread was started with the idea of getting a newbie to trade with an "experienced" guy who wanted to get some cigars. The Newbie would buy the old guy what he wanted (or send cash) and the "experienced" guy would send the newbie a nice package of assorted singles to get the newbie started on some new favorites. Minimum trade value is $50 but most FOGS can handle trades of $100 or more. There is a two trade limit.


2. Why would I want to trade with these people?

A: You are looking to sample a large variety of smokes. You can either go and overpay for a bunch of singles or you could get involved with a trade, receiving top quality sticks from a personally cared for selection of cigars that are ready for you to smoke. It's your choice.

3. How do I know I will actually get my cigars?

A: The people trading here have been doing so for quite some time, and are not going to screw around with a good thing for all parties (and not going to let anyone else screw it up for them), in order to screw you out of a few dollars.

4. How do I know I am not getting ripped off with a bunch of dog rockets?

A: Again, read the BB and you will get a feeling for those who trade here. May one or two of the cigars you receive be a dog rocket to you? Yes it is possible since taste is subjective, but how long do you think someone is going to be able to continue to trade if they are not giving fair (and to be perfectly honest you usually get MORE than fair value) in their trades. Why would anyone want to trade with them?


5. I haven't been around here long, but I have been smoking for _____ and I don't think I really should be qualified as a newbie.

A: You are. Get over it.

6. So how do I go about doing this? Who do I trade with?

The current trader (usually has "(Now Up!)" by their name), is the person that you would contact. You initiate a trade by sending a PM or E-Mail to that trader simply stating that you are interested in a Newbie Sampler Trade and any additional pertinent information including budget constraints. (i.e. "looking to do a Newbie trade in the ballpark of $60 - $80 dollars").

If for some reason that trader is unable to accomodate you (i.e. budget amounts don't work out or trader can not accomodate type of sampler desired), you move on to the next person on the list until someone can meet your needs.

7. Where can I get more information?

A: Yup, you’re a newbie. If you have a question, feel free to ask away. Most people will give you very good information.

The thread never mentions anything about 2 months.
 
I'm new here obviously and have been trying to post more and learn more. Bill was very gracious and sent me a few to try. Among them are a few RP's that look awesome and one in particular that has caught my eye due to it's look, a Camacho candela! It looks too good to smoke. I can't thank him enough for this gift and will definitely get in on the trades and passes soon!
 
Good times! I remember when I won my first "first newb that posts gets a 5er" excited as hell to get to try some new sticks!

Enjoy em, and nice move Whopper!
