+2bigharpoon:Well said, Vulchor. I try to keep all my gifted sticks out of respect for the gift but if one just isn't for me I don't feel bad sending it along to someone who will enjoy it. That's kinda the whole point of gifting and trading, isn't it?
if it's something i've smoked before and absolutely know i don't like, i'll pass it on to someone who will enjoy it.
otherwise i try to smoke everything that's been sent to me.
only other exception is if a botl friend is at the house and picks something out of the humidor they really want to try ... if it's a bombed or gifted stick i'll consider letting them smoke it depending on what cigar it is and how "into" cigars they are.
if they don't smoke much and pick out something like a LE DPG simply because "the band looks sweet", i'd have to point them to something else because i know they probably wouldn't enjoy it (or might even put it out early) and the cigar would be lost on them, ya know?
but if they're big into smokes and want to try something that's been bombed/traded to me, but i could find the cigar again, i'd definitely consider letting them have it and pick another one up on my next B&M run.
would never sell or "trade for profit"" bombed/gifted smokes though, that's just shady IMO.
damn, i hope i'm not guilty of this. if so please call me out. i sometimes make comments like "wanna try those, lemme know how they smoke" ....danielzreyes:How are those Opus X? Man I wanna try one. I wish I had one. But don't get any ideas guys. I know my addy is out there somewhere but I don't wanna have to barricade my mail box. #bounce
not fishing for bombs though but if it comes across as such just tag me with #fishin or #bounce and i'll shut my pie hole. -
Of course it's not you John. You're still a put0 though

Stop the weenie not giving the details. If you're going to call someone out, say what happened and who did it. Re-gifting? Not reciprocating bombs? Bomb begging? All of the above in combination?

F*ck it. I usually don't like getting involved in this type of crap but I'll be the one to go ahead and say it. If I get hammered for it oh well. Again, it's not the issue of regifting cigars.
A lot of botls here feel that Newboots has the rep of pretty much asking to get bombed. He's in it for the free sticks ..... then bails. Doing the same thing in other forums, and showing up every now and then to get more. Take take take. There is a diff between not being able to give back (whether it's financial issues etc) and not giving back at all. Specially when you keep hinting to get hit. Trades passes and bombs is exactly what it's labeled. Not to seek out contests in order to get free sh*t. The jokes about it are being blasted left and right all over the forum. I also noticed in other thread s that he has been called out about it.
This thread has been bumped just for him. Donzo -
Oh, ok. Well glad y'all caught on to this one. I've gotten so flamed for others I held my tongue here. But I PM'd at least one BOTL who was gonna pile on in the early goings and said don't.

Yeah, you were the first to notice. I should have listened to you. I say this because i was that BOTL that you pm'd.Ken Light:Oh, ok. Well glad y'all caught on to this one. I've gotten so flamed for others I held my tongue here. But I PM'd at least one BOTL who was gonna pile on in the early goings and said don't.
... and that's what bothers me. New members or just any member who isn't aware and gets sucked in the hints. -
Thank you for saying something, I hadn't noticed. You'll need a sombrero Kuya.

Here's my small opinion, for what it's worth. I agree. Haven't been here long, but I sure enjoy the ride. He begs for cigars. Doesn't reciprocate. To me, that's not a real big deal. I mean, when we say we bomb someone, or simply send them something just because, we don't expect anything back. Or at least that's what we say. Now if he had entered into an agreement to trade and never did, that would be a different story. As far as I know, he hasn't done this - correct me if I'm wrong. I sent him something in the past and never expected anything in return. I don't scour the forums well enough to know if he has ever sent packages to others. Newbies, etc,. But it doesn't appear he does.
I see him as a mild annoyance at times, and others have mentioned that to me as well in PMs - says he's always begging and getting bombed.
It's also our choice to send those bombs. We do it out of the kindness of our hearts, and he has been a recipient to many a good beatings. I don't think that warrants bad trader marking from us. Label him a beggar, not a bad trader. If he bothers you, just ignore him and don't send anything. -
I need some xxx. Please send accordingly. Thanks!

I hadn't noticed this. Thanks for pointing it out.
I have asked about a couple sticks here and there in the past. I hope you guys don't think I was trying to get bombed. -
i wouldn't worry about it. A gift is a gift IMO. We choose to send it and I never look for reciprocation. As long as everyone sees it that way, shouldn't be a problem. We choose to do so. It's a free country, so if folks want to discuss who is cool and not cool with it in private or public, by all means...MURICA.CharlieHeis:I hadn't noticed this. Thanks for pointing it out.

My memory could be off but I swear I have received a package from him... I'll check my humidor one day and see what I can find.
I am sure the same could be said about me cause I know I have received cigars from members and have yet to send anything back to them.
There are also members here who I have sent to on multiple occasions that have not sent anything to me. For the record I am fine with this.
Just one of those stones and glass houses things.
On a non related note, could I get my name added to this list so I don't get bombed any more? -
