Gauging interest in a TOM club

01-30-2009, 10:46 AM

Hey guys,

A lot of us had decent rep and trader feedback going on at the other site. I thought a fun way to build rep and trader feedback as well as an opportunity to get some good reviews going would be a Tobacco of the Month Club.

I was thinking something along the lines of getting twelve (or even 24) members to commit. Then we would run a poll on either a bunch of baccys or maybe a category of baccy (vaper/virginia/english/etc). Assign one to each month and have each participant sign up for a month.

On your month, you would be responsible for distributing the baccy to the other members. I think if we have twelve participants, that would require about two tins to cover your month (100g or 4 oz total).

Part of the participation would also be posting a brief review of the baccy received by the end of the month.

Anyone interested in getting something like this going? I would be willing to facilitate the signups and keep everything organized.

Maybe criteria for participation should be 2 or more trader feedback here or have good rep/feedback at Puff?

If there is interest in this, I will get a little more coherent set of participation guidelines.

Suggestions also appreciated.

I started a monthly tobacco shakedown which is along the same lines as this. If you want to merge that in with this that would be great, if there is enough interest.

If you want a Tom club, I would be in, but you have to start it.

The only difference is that in mind you are responsible for getting your own baccy and it simply promotes more reviews of tobacco for people to read. Let me know what your plans are so we can figure something out.
