Ohboyohboyohboy! First trade, threats and the ammo to back it up. Could not be more excited.Quote:

There's some good guys here, Joe. Read up on the trade rules, check the other posts to get the lay of the land, maybe post up on the New Piper Bum Introduction thread (I didn't because I'm socially awkward) and you'll be paired up before you know it! Have fun and welcome!Quote:

When I received notification the package had arrived I decided to leave Gar Manor and venture into town, something I'm loathe to do on a Saturday. I snatched the box, jumped in the hot rod, locked the doors, pulled the shades and opened her up.

The contents:

The tobacco:

Since everything is clearly labeled I won't post a wall of text. There are at least ten in here I've read about and wanted to try. The portions? Insanely generous. These are handfuls of tobacco, not "samples."
More tobacco and accesories:

Here's where it goes off the rails. Included is a sweet MM Mizzou and a monster Great Dane Spindle Turn. And what's this? The very pipe and tobacco pouch I was fixing to order this morning. Hey, there's stuff inside it! Pipe bits (which I absolutely use being a clencher), humidity buttons, Czech tool and folding pipe stand. And the pipe pocket? Well, it's got a Dr. G Lark in it! And it has beautiful whorls, swirls and burls in it. Did I mention the Pipesmoking book and two kinds of cleaners?
Warren sent a real nice hand written note with lots of helpful advice and warm sentiments. He said in a PM it doesn't make sense to send part of what a fellow needs. Well, he sent everything I needed and then some! Much respect for the pipe vets on here. Thank you so much; if you'll excuse me I have some smoking to do!
Looks like a mighty fine haul, Good Show Warren !!
The eps's on here know how to really help us noobs out! Nice hit pugsley! Thanks to all the eps's!
Nice hit, that Pugsley's a dangerous fella
A very generous offering!
Wow Gar that is an amazing haul! I look forward to trading with an eps here so I can sample some good stuff!
It's great stuff. There's 09 Esoterica Stonehaven in there! I tried the Russ Ouelette's Fire Storm today and was blown away. Transitions like a good cigar, starts sweet and creamy and then gets spicy midway. Outstanding.Quote:

Pugsley would you want to do a trade? Not sure how the process works here.Quote:

We welcome your enthusiasm! Take some time to browse around and get to know some fellow members a bit. We look forward to the opportunity to get to know a little about you too.
I see you have some prior experience with cigars. Feel free to browse the other side of the forum as well. I additionally invite you to post an introduction in the New Cigar Bums Introduction Forum.
If you haven't seen it, post #1 of this thread outlines the process for the Newbie Sampler Trade for Pipes. I am sure Jeff @commonsenseman will get you on the list and get a trade underway when the time is right.
Meanwhile, Welcome! and enjoy the forum. :pipe:
Always happy to welcome new members, especially those who show an interest in the gentle art of pipe smoking. ( A sure sign of a superior intellect. After all, any fool with a match can set fire to a cigar. :) ) So come in, sit down, kick your shoes off and browse the forums. Get to know us. Put up a few posts so we can get to know you. I'm sure you'll like it here.Quote:

Ohhh, good choice of tobacco to extract from a newb. That has got to be my favorite of what you sent me. I'm already hoarding it and I've only smoked one bowl!Quote:
