Just the simple fact of what you say, led me to believe you had fewer than that.

A large scale bombing run? Hmmm. And yes, compared to some, that is a small number. I know I have more, but exactly how many? Good question!

Yes, he is. He has moochin' down to an art form. When he is bantering, he's really moochin'.

Love you, brother.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

That's when my cigars can be regifted, but my gifted cigars will never go out in any maws pifs or bombs.

This pretty much the gist of it for me. Most of what I smoke was gifted to me from everyone here. In turn, much of what I buy is gifted to others here. I find a time and a place for each of the sticks given to me.

Meh. They exist to be enjoyed. If someone's gonna enjoy them that much more than you, I say go for it. (with the "first taste" caveat.)

mosesbotbol · 04-30-2010, 05:21 PM

I would not "re-gift" them, but I would give them to a guest to smoke at my house.

I don't have too many people gifting me cigars, because I'm basically an @sshole. But on the occasions that I've had somebody hand me sticks, and there are some included that aren't what I'd smoke...I just tell them on the spot. I thank them for their generosity, and suggest that they hold onto whatever sticks I know I won't smoke.
If it's a bomb...then it's a different story. I have a hard time parting with something that was given to me. So if there are sticks included in a bomb that aren't what I prefer...they'll go into my 100 count desktop humi for safe keeping...until the day I'm open minded enough to try something different, or somebody visiting chooses it out of that humi.

Sending them to the troops is the best use of cigars you know you won't smoke, in my opinion.

I have handed out cigars that were gifted to me but I have always tried to share where it came from.
Like for instance I got a couple of mild cigars that gifted to me that I have already tried and I knew Bill (my neighbor who is on here somewhere) liked the milder stuff so I passed them on to him.

I am very grateful for everything I have gotten from everyone here from knowledge to cigars, I hope I never upset anyone in doing that.

I only re-gift things I have tried or have multiples of. I don't get offended if my friends give away ones I gifted them. We all have different taste and sharing makes all of this fun.

wayner123 · 02-24-2011, 11:49 AM

I was pondering this very question recently. I see nothing wrong with re-gifting. If I gave you something with stipulations it wasn't really a gift.

Now what do you all say about selling gifted cigars??

TheLostGringo · 02-24-2011, 12:00 PM

Personally see nothing wrong with re-gifting at all, selling a gifted cigar is another matter.

I have many times re-gifted cigars someone has given me if I know I will never smoke them(especially good place to gift them is to the troops)

Agreed.

I don't re-gift unless I ask the person that gave it to me if they mind. Only happened a few times.

Pretty straight forward. I am saying I do not believe you should sell a gifted cigar.

cmitch · 02-24-2011, 02:12 PM

I would hope the question of selling a gifted smoke was a joke.

As for regifting sticks you've already tried or don't like, I wouldn't find it inappropriate to do so.

I say no way in hell would that be appropriate.

Re-gifting cigars so that others may enjoy something you are not going to smoke is more than appropriate. I do this -- and not necessarily because I don't like the cigar. It's more a case that there are other cigars that I enjoy more.

As others have said: selling cigars that you have been gifted is totally inapproriate, wrong, and downright slimey!
