Poll for future Bum Events

[omahaorange]

Having only been smoking cigars regularly since January, even at my age I'm a n00b. I signed on here because it seemed like a friendly, and more importantly, very informative site. It's not that I'm shy, but I don't post alot because all my questions are answered somewhere on the board. The generosity you all show here is tremendous. As far as my participation in something like this, I just don't feel confident enough in my abilities to pick adequate sticks to justify a fair trade. I know that doesn't really matter, but that's just the way I feel. I know what I like, and what I'm waiting to try. I just don't feel comfortable trying to determine what somebody else likes. I'm here to learn. Keep up the good work. This is one of the friendliest sites (on any subject) that I have had the privilege of being a member.

On what planet does a year of smoking cigars make one a Vet?

I'll run it just trying to see if we need to do 1 for just noobs 1 one for Vets, or combine them all into 1. There will be a sign up in the events section. Last year it was a last minute thing and we started Sign ups late November with a ship date of the Friday before Christmas I believe. I'd like to get started a little earlier this year. I want to give people more time to plan, and buy things if need be. I'd also like to bump the ship date up a little so all packs are delivered before the mad rush for USPS/UPS. I know a couple of packs got beat up pretty bad last year because of the USPS holiday rush. Maybe do sign ups the First week of November with a ship date during the 2nd week of Dec.

Not talking about the smoking end of it brother. Talking about the fact that usually after a year in a lot of people have started feeling their way through the higher end sticks. If you do a Noob SS the FTBs would know not to expect an Opus, Behike, Tat Monster, and bottle of Macallen. If you're in a normal SS and everyone is sending around stuff like that but you have one Newer Member/smoker they are not going to be able to give away that kind of stuff because it simply won't be in their stash. Although we are all happy with anything we get and most enjoy the bombing part more then getting bombed...It can make the person sending it feel kind of awkward. Even the Noobs tossed out some awesome bombs last year, I had a member PM me a week before the ship date saying he felt like his pack was inadequate and asked if I could sell him a few higher end sticks to put in his pack. Don't want to have that issue again, I felt horrible for him.
