Hello everyone, glad to finally get this back up & running. Below are the rules.

The Newbie Sampler trade is a place where a New Pipe Smoker (NPS) can trade with an Experienced Pipe Smoker (EPS).

The EPS will send sampler of tobaccos to the NPS for a tin of one blend of premium tobacco.

This objective is to allow an NPS to try many different blends and types of tobacco to help them understand what they like.

The EPS will get a 2oz. tin of tobacco in exchange for 5 samples of about 4 bowls worth each.
The EPS will pick the samples of tobacco that the new smoker might enjoy. However the EPS should not send 5 samples of the same tobacco like 5 samples of Balkans or straight Virginias, rather the EPS should send a good variety.

If you’d like to set-up a “double batch” sampler, go for it.

Process:
- Post in the thread to indicate if you are an NPS or an EPS
- First NPS will PM the first EPS to exchange address information. And the EPS will request which tin of tobacco he wants.
- The NPS will send his end first and post in the thread when it is on its way.
- The EPS will then send his end and post when it is on its way.
- Then each will post when their package is received.


NPS: The NPS is someone who has limited smoking and tobacco experience and knowledge, and someone who has less than 6-8 months of pipe smoking experience.

EPS: The EPS is someone who has been pipe smoking for at least 6 months and has good knowledge in Tobacco blends and types. The EPS should also have enough open tobacco to send out a good variety of samples.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions that may come up, I'm more than happy to help!
