I have more pipe tobacco then I can smoke, I get more joy out of bombing people to let them try then I do letting it sit in my cabinet.:skew:
I know we have requirements for the sponsors but I cant find them right now, one of them for sure is that you have to participate in the cigar noob trade to get your trade rating going. If Javajunkie or grrrr reads this and can find our sponsor specifics I would apreciate the repost or edit in the first page.
I can't see his profile, TR or time on botl, from tapatalk. So will give a ruling when I can get onto a browser.

Basically a 100% TR and some time on BOTL before becoming a sponsor.

Newbie cigar trade and 1 positive TR to be sponsee.

Well I must post my story here first,,,

I have been on a bit of a bombing spree Muhahahaha, and started bombing brothers at random just for things they had said on the forum, it doesn't even have to of been said to me, so I came across a post and GenTimmy sliped up and said that his Birthday was on the 28th witch is now today So Happy Birthday Gentimmy,

So I went on the hunt for some of his post to find out what he likes, I found that he was a pipe smoker, witch I personally am not, so I went to my local B&M witch has some local made Baccy, so my plan was coming together, so with that in mind I also picked up a couple recommendations from them while I was there,

Well last night my package was delivered, and then gentimmy PM's me last night, I found out I really hit him at a perfect time! and with his story that he told me really hit home for me because I am in the same boat as him,

Now I am an Ex cigarette smoker, but still really enjoy my cigars now and then, but with the baccy I picked up for him OHHHH how they smelt So..... Good, I slipped up to him and said it almost made me want to try out the pipe,

Grrrr I would like to thank you for being the Bus Driver on this one! This Bomb really means a lot to me after hearing back from Gentimmy

So he told me to post here and request him to be my sponsor! So I figured what the hey I will give it a go

Yeah I read a article that said to start people off with stronger full flavored blends. The reasoning is that even if you don't pack or puff corectly you are still getting alot of flavor with a lower chance of tounge bite. So I gave mostly english blends and a couple of aros, I think 3 nuns is a vaper. Enjoy

good ideas, sir! i spent ten years f#@king around on and off with OTC aros, and it was finally a tin of Nightcap that helped me figure it out.

Do you guys have any recommendations for full strength tobaccos I can go try this weekend? One of the things I have been struggling with is finding a tobacco I like or that even comes remotely close to cigars in terms of flavor. None of the tobaccos I have tried have been bad but I dont think they hold a candle to the flavors of my stogies.

I have tried everything you send me utah plus the guys at my local b&m have been sending me home with at least a few samples everytime i swing by. Next on the to try list is orlik golden slice, they gave me a tin of that last sunday but I have yet to crack it open.

Okay, because I need another slippery slope to start careening down, sign me up as a pipe n00b, please!
You got it. And I'm going to take you because ur on my list anyway. Just haven't had time to do it. I won't be able to pack it till probably middle of next week cuz I've been working 12hr days. I already picked up ur pipe and a couple of things i needed for ur box. I'm just so far behind. My apologies.
