I already posted on the PIF thread, but I got my package from brc81 today and was thrilled.  He hooked me up with an abundance of cigars that I've never had including three 5 Vegas that I was anxious to try.  I already smoked the 5 Vegas Gold.  Fantastic!

Just got my end of a trade with Beta in the mail via brsmith, lol. Little mix-up, no big deal, but it gives credit to both of these guys being good traders. As far as the trade, Beta hooked it up with some very nice smokes on top of the Defiances we agreed on, including a local blend from his B&M that I cannot wait to try. Thanks again bro!

It's like the world's most amazing game of Tetris in my humidor.

Our BOTL Doug sent me an AMAZING trade package, which included a whole crapload of amazing cigars. I tore into the bag, which was heavy I might add, and took out the following:
1. CAO Italia x2. I don't hear a ton mentioned about them, but I always wanted to try them, just afraid to spend on something I knew nothing about. VERY excited to smoke these, it's taking a fair amount of willpower now to light one up now.
2. Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ, which I've heard great things about. Now that I have this in my Humi, I'll be able to smoke the other without feeling bad. Very excited to try this one.
3. Oliva G Maduro x2. I really like Oliva, and I'd run fresh out of anything they produced. Tried the regular G a little while ago, and I loved it, so this should be exciting. They're also the smaller sized ones, which is great because I have this weakness where I only buy torpedo or robusto cigars. I don't really know why, it just sort of happens. It'll be great to have some short smokes now!
4. 5 Vegas Gold x2. I love 5 Vegas, and have never gotten a bad stick by them. It'll be awesome to try one of their main lines! I have heard nothing but good things about the gold, so I'm very excited to try it.
5. CAO Black, CAO VR x2. I have yet to try the VR, and I'm very excited to do so. The wrapper is very enticing.
6. CAO Gold: Another cigar I've never tried, I've generally stayed away from milder cigars until recently; as a result, I have nothing good to smoke early on; this solves my problem, with the perfect after breakfast cigar!
7. 5 Vegas Cask Strength. This is the cigar that first wowed me, one of the very first I got in a trade from Rob or Joe. It was an eye opening experience, and I'm amazingly excited to get to open this bad boy up.
8. Tierra Del Sol. Never heard of this stick, but it's a big boy with a great, earthy smell. I'm going to try this in a few days when they get all settled.
9. Cu-avana Intenso. I've heard about this one, and I'm excited to give it a try. Looks gorgeous in it's cello, with a fantastic construction.
10. The nub habano. One of my top three cigars, so far anyway. Along with the don pepin cc, this has a great, spicy, taste. I can never get enough of these.

All in all, Doug is a fantastic trader, and if anybody gets an opportunity to trade with this guy, take it! He's fantastic.

Just got my movie trivia pack in from Garen, had some nice sticks in there. Among them was a RP Renaissance, which I am stoked about, and a Perdomo Lot 23 Natural. I haven't tried the natural of the Lot 23's so I'm looking forward to that as well. Thanks again Garen, I appreciate it!

No problem man, I was browsing through my B&M and spied an odd band in the RP section, lo and behold it was a Renaissance, bought one for the pass and one for myself :) Oh and put some age on em, they can't be more than a few weeks old.

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

Good deal, thanks for the heads up, will do.

Got my package from Betasynn via Alienmisprint. Nice selection from Beta and thanks to Alien for relaying them my way. ;) Nothing like a little teamwork to keep things going smooth.

Got my end of a trade with Betasynn today as well. We traded for 10 Padilla's and some extra's He included a RP Decade, A Man O' War, A Vibe ? (B&M Local stick?) and one other that I can't remember right now. Thanks Beta and your name is secure on the good traders list, IMO.

Got the trade from robert69165 for some Gurkha Park Aves and several extras. Good stuff, super quick. Thanks!

My Band

Bass sent me a "sorry" package for being light on postage with a pass, I told him not to worry about it but he went a head and sent one anyway. Very generous and another reason why people on here are fantastic.

And then there is Rob, knowing my Birthday was May 19th he surprised me with a package and it was a nice little package with a few goodies, a opus X (fan-freakin-tastic), a padilla burberry, limitada 08 and some others which are new to me. Again, a stand up crowd we have here!

Glad it arrived safe and sound and you were happy with what I sent. Happy belated, dude. I think I was an idiot and left the price on the opus (the only one I got in a b&m). Thought about that as I was going through cigars last night....so, just ignore that.

I just recieved my end of a trade with Bryan (brsmith21) that was supposed to be a 5 for 5 trade. What I recieved were some very premium sticks oh and instead of 5 he sent 7 which are : 1 Camacho, 1Verdadero, 1 Cigar.com house blend Cameroon, 1 Oliva series G, 1 Partagas, 1 Padilla series 68, and 1 box pressed CAO Maduro. Thanks Bryan for the great smokes, I hope you will enjoy what I had sent. Thanks for the great trade!

Got a mystery cigar pack from Tumbler today, a couple of nice extras too, an RP Decade (I've been getting a lot of those recently, keep 'em coming and I won't actually have to buy any) and a DPG My Father robusto, I've been wanting to try another size of that smoke. Thanks for the pack Tumbler, I'll have some reviews up...shortly?

I'm not sure who or what I've traded with, and without internet at the house (thanks to a certain housemate) it's been tough to keep up. I've made very good trades with alienmisprint, laker, brsmith, and got a killer package from brc81. Just making sure I got everybody, as they're all fantastic traders who fully deserve credit.
