Make a wish is the inverse of the Pay it Forward. Here is how this works:
1) person “A” says “I would like to try “x” cigar.
B) person “B” (who has that cigar in his humi) says I will give you that cigar.
III) person “B” sends person “A” three of those cigars to try.
4) person “B” now gets to wish for a cigar to try.

That’s the cool part. Unfortunately this will have to have many more regulations than the PIF thread.


First: don’t wish for OpusX, La Aurora Preferidos, or other very high end cigars. We aren’t trying to break the other guy’s bank. We are just trying to try some new cigars here. Use some judgment, and if there is a question on if the cigar is too “high end” the forum at large will decide.

Second: no Cubans. Not only is this an illegal thing that you shouldn’t be flaunting (who knows who is watching the board) but they are also hard to come by and sometimes very expensive.

Third: only send three of the cigars asked for. If you send more they should be of other cigars that you think the other person will enjoy. Why? This is for people to get a taste and what if the other person doesn’t like em? Not only that but it is easier to find someone with three of the same cigar than someone with 5. (personally I buy a lot of samplers and having 3 on hand is easy but 5 is a challenge.) three is the minimum amount. If you want to send more of another kind you are more than welcome to but it is NOT a requirement (or an expectation).

Fourth: don’t ask for a specific shape. Beggars can’t be choosers.

and finally... all people wishing for cigars must have had their package received by the previous wisher before wishing. this will be kept track of on this thread.

I guess that’s all as far as rules go. Should other rules be needed they will be instated as we go.


UPDATE:


Alien (outside USA): If the package (granted wish) does not reach the wisher within FOUR weeks AND the wish granter during that time goes inactive on this forum, then the wisher gets another wish.

in either case if the time frames are exceeded, and the wish granter is still active on the forum, both parties must agree that the wish granter can then go ahead and make a wish. The better standings you have with the Forum at large, the more chance you have to make a wish, should this situation come about.

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

Since I came up with this thread I will go first. BUT, to make it fair, my first Make a Wish will get a kick back “prize” for the one who sends me the cigars. I’m not out for free cigars, so I will send a small sampler pack in trade for my first MAW.

Lets hope this thread works. … and awaaaaaay we go!

I would love to try the cigar.com Brazilian Label.

I know, I know, out of all the hype it got here you’d think I woulda had some already but I’ve blown my cigar budget for the last three months on a few other purchases.

I just happen to have some of those. I will gladly send you some and that way we can get this thing going. PM me your address and I will get them out in the next couple days.

PM sent.
as far as "getting it rolling"...
I expect that this will run a bit slower than the PIF so at some point if nobody is getiing hits on the cigars they are looking to tryin a few weeks then tey can change it up to keep it moving. ... you know, just a thought.

Kuzi this is a great idea! I'm on board as soon as someone asks for something I have.

I liked it, it tasted less like a Gurkha and more like a normal cigar, good flavors too.

Another thought Kuzi. Just to get this "rolling" why don't you go ahead and let rdnstn make 2 wishes. One now for being the first person to send and another when you receive yours. This will get 2 sets of MAW's going at a time. Just a thought.

Kuzi, you have a PM.

I would also like to add that I like that final rule. I think it keeps everyone honest that way. So I will send Kuzi his MAW and then when he posts that he received them, I will make my wish.

though that is a good idea, i dont think this forum has enough active members to keep two active MAW's at the same time. maybe when the forum gets a bit bigger we will explore that option. one step at a time for now.

all the way from IRAQ... your wish may take a moment... all's well that ends well.

Good point I've noticed there are only about 10 regular posters.

At that rate, it would only be a short matter of time before we all had each other's addresses and cigar tastes down...then we could just randomly send out fivers and skip all the forum posts.
