Hi everyone, I am pretty new here. And pretty new to quality cigars. But I have a "Gurkha Grand Reserve" to trade for a "Zino Platinum Scepter Low Rider" if anybody is willing. Feel free to ask questions. I am an honest man. Thanks, Jake

Hey Jake,

Welcome to the forum bro. As you're a friendly newcomer, I'll fill ya in on a couple things:

1) We have a reputation thread around here, so we can keep track of good peeps. Now of course, someone has to trade with you first for ya to get on the list, but that tends to happen after a while...which leads me to my next point.

2) Jumping on here and posting up a trade for your first post is generally discouraged. It helps to put in some time in the forums, let us get to know ya, and that way it's easier to feel more comfortable when dealing with a new guy.

Now, all this said, I've done my share of trading with new guys and putting them on the Good Trader's list, but as it stands right now I have nothing to trade with you. Additionally, it's generally better to offer up at least 3+ sticks for trade - otherwise, the shipping doesn't really make sense.

Either way, welcome to the forums, and I hope you stick around.

I'll trade you some sticks for one of those knives you make.

Thank you Hays for the info. I had a hard time finding some rules and regs. I don't have alot to offer in here, as I am not much of an expert. The three cigar idea makes sense. As of right now I only have 4 "Grand Reserves" in my humi. And I want to hang on to three. So I might just wait untill I get my box or two from the Gurkha man himself. Other then that. Thank you for the welcome. Maybe you can answer a couple of ?'s for me. -What is the best way to ship cigars? and -Is it nessasery to keep a tubed cigar in a humi? Thanks again, Jake

Six months still gives me enough time to get it before next hunting season. I guess I'd need to figure out what your knives go for and then I could throw out some suggestions. What's an average knife, like $5, $10? Wink, wink.

(and yes most of us are crazy but not as crazy as hays... Yougotta watch out for that sumbitch!) ;)

Aright you motherf*cker....dont' EVEN start in with comments too!


Lol I jest I jest...;-)

Mello, regarding your questions:

My preferred method of shipping is USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes. I have about 25 of the small boxes (they're free) just sitting in a closet. Throw your sticks in a ziploc, wrap em in padding of some sort, and box em up in the box (I've fit 8 or 9 sticks in a Small box). About $6 and change (with Delivery Confirmation, a general requirement around here), and it's at the destination usually within 2-3 days.

Tubo wise, it's really up to you. I think a lot of guys prefer to leave the cigar as it came and store it as such, but sometimes space doesn't allow. Personally, I leave my tubos closed and in the humi as long as I have the space. The stick will age slower this way, but right now I'm not trying to age anything so it's not a concern for me. If I don't have the space, I take it out of the tube and don't trip about it - the tubo is just packaging and helps protect the stick from damage.
