You were joking about having no time even though you logged on for other reasons and according to Eric did not respond to PM?Hell, would not be the first time I was wrong. My sincere apologies.

No, I was joking about the Bad Traders List. I don't always think to check PM's because I am used to forums that give you notification of PMs. I was camping with my family all weekend and just saw his PM tonight, then I realized that the ish had hit the fan.
Not saying anything about you being wrong. Hell, I know how it looks. It's just not something I am going to get stressed over. There are way more important things in life.

This issue is settled. I would welcome another trade with phishstyx. A number of extraordinary circumstances led to this discussion including an office move due to promotion on his part, which is a good thing (congratulations btw), me being out of town, him not realizing he had a pm and unusually long shipping time for Priority Mail. Hell, I wouldn't even check my pms if I was camping with my family. All is good. Numerous cigars arrived in good condition...more than I gave out.

It’s unfortunate that I have to resurrect this post but
after 13 months of waiting on a trade to get completed, I feel that the member
won’t honor his part of the trade. I did a trade with Dwayne @ back in November
2018. As of today he still hasn’t completed his part of the trade. Here are the
PM’s to give you some history:
·
November 2018
The CAO Stingy Scrooge is just
an ok cigar. You can find them (box of 10) for around $40 on best cigar
prices website. Like I said just an ok cigar even with 1-2 years on it.
Ok thank you my friend. I am trying
to play catch up on everything that has came out in the past few years. I was
in a coma and had a long stay in the hospital, and was not able to get out and
smoke afterwards. I just started back smoking regularly in the past 6
months
Wow I’m glad you’re OK. Can’t even
imagine what you’ve been through. Over the last few years cigar companies have
gone crazy and have released more cigars then they have over the last 10 or so
years. I was attempting to purchase and enjoy one of every new cigar released
in 2017 but gave up after about 20 or so.
I noticed you enjoy a pipe. I purchase several and a bunch of pipe
tobacco but it just wasn’t my thing. If you want to do a trade for a few
cigars let me know I have a lot of pipe tobacco that I would love to send you
away
What do you want for it? I don’t
have any of the newer releases, but I have a lot of well aged sticks similar to
the ones I sent cbuck. How many would you be looking for?
Cool! I’ll leave that up to you. I
trust your judgement. Please send me your info. Here’s mine:
ill ship your package this weekend and will send you the tracking number. BTW
If your not on the good traders list yet I’ll make sure you are after
this
I’m sorry that I haven’t gotten back
to you sooner. It’s been crazy stressfuand I still have tons to do and very
little time to get it done. I will get your package out in the next couple of
days
Good morning! I’m sorry that I
haven’t gotten back to you sooner. Moving out of the country is more work than
I ever imagined it would be. I had a LOT more stuff than I thought I had. Your
package came in at my mother’s house several days ago. I will get something out
to you before I leave for Turkey.
Hey my friend! I’m so sorry, but I
didn’t get to send you a package before I left for Turkey. When I sent you that
last message on December 5th, I was thinking that my flight was on th 6th and I
had time to pack something up for you...my fiancé informed me that my flight DEPARTED
Atlanta on the 5th and I landed in Turkey on the 6th! Needless to say, I was in
panic mode
I will I’ll get a package to you one way or another, and it will be well worth
your wait! If you can wait until I come back in February, I can send you a
great selection of aged sticks, or if you prefer I can have C.COM mail you
something...your choice.
All of the rushing and moving have have taken a toll on me, and since I got
here I have been struggling with my seizures. I haven’t been able to have a
cigar yet, and only had bout a half a bowl in my pipe.
Hey my friend. I’m sorry that I
haven’t gotten back to you sooner. I have recently had a rash of seizures
associated with the head injuries from 2016 and I’ve been a lil out of it. I
will be traveling back to the states in the next few weeks and I will put
together a package for you then if that’s ok. I wish I could have taken care of
this before I left
Thanks for getting back to me and
I'm sorry your going through all of this. Focus on getting healthy and just
keep in touch. You getting better is the most important thing
Good morning my friend. I just
wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten about you. I got your package
together before I left but never got it to the post office. I’m coming into
Georgia later this month and I will re-pack a GREATER selection for you with
some extras for your patience.
Hi Dwayne. Great to hear from you.
How are you doing? Hope you are getting better. Great that your coming back.
Will be great to see you on the forum again 👍🏻
Don’t worry about any extras my friend.
I’m doing pretty good all things
considered. The seizures continued, and along with a few other symptoms until
my fiancé (the doctor) ordered me to have an MRI. Among other things they found
a large cyst between and into both of my frontal lobes, as well as a large
“mass” at my left inner ear. I am due to have a follow up MRI before I return
to the states to see if anything has changed, and I will bring the scans there
to consult my doctors in Georgia on what to do.
Otherwise I am just smoking my pipes
and cigars and enjoying life.
Hi Dwayne. Hope you had a great
Thanksgiving. Just say your post that you are heading back to Istanbul soon.
Just wanted to check in and get an update on the trade
Good morning Allan. I’m sorry that I
haven’t gotten back to you sooner. That trip took a lot out of me and I’m just
starting to feel human again. I have not had a cigar or pipe in over a week
now. We were running behind going to the airport and my mother was supposed to
take it by the post office on Monday. I will message her when she gets up to
see where it is. I put one “unicorn” DPG Blue “A” (9.5”x50) with 5 years rest
in the box for you. If you’ve never had one of the “A” vitola’s, you’re in for
a treat. When I can spend 2-3 hours on a cigar, that’s one of my favorites...it
seems to hit a real sweet spot between the Toro and Churchill that no other
vitola can achieve. I hope you enjoy all of my selection for you. If for any
reason you are not satisfied, please let me know and I will have cigar.com fix
you a sampler.
Again, I’m very sorry for the delay
in getting this to you. I’ve always known that moving was tough, but moving to
another country is really beyond my definition of “tough”...and I still have a
lot to do before we can get married.
Hi Dwayne. I haven't received your
part of the trade yet. Will you be mailing it out anytime soon? Would like to
finish this trade up by the end of the your
Alan I’m working on it. It’s hard to
get something shipped from 6,000 miles away. I locked my debit card twice
trying to use my usps account. I have asked my sister to take it to the post
office for me on her first day off work. She’s a manager at Walmart so as you
can imagine, her hours are crazy this time of year.
I also plan to send you something
extra straight from cigar.com after the first of January (money is a bit tight
due to the holidays and travel).
Hi Dwayne. Hope you had a great
Christmas. I just want this trade to be done. I've spoken to several forum
members about this trade and they agree with me that this needs to be completed
ASAP. Please complete your part of the trade by the first of the year.
So that’s it. At this time I don’t think Dwayne will ever complete his part of
the trade. Once Dwayne completes his part of the trade I will remove him from
the Bad Traders list.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt

You sure? A lot of similarities in language used in posts, plus the last name.
My foggy memory says they were brothers.
I believe Rbeckom was supposedly the older, Dbeckom the "baby brother". I know that I personally got fed up with R, who was at times creative and intelligent even to the point of being brilliant; and at other times quite manipulative and callous. I have appreciated D's contributions to the Pipe thread.
I have also wondered if they could be one and the same person / people.
Don't quite know what to think of all this, except to say D, you owe, do your part. You were just in the States recently, right? Do the right thing.

I mean, it's only 556 cigars. Yes, I counted them. It's not everyday that someone buys more than me, so it was easy to remember. However, I'll caveat those statements by saying that the last pic was full of Gurkahs....
@dbeckom , are you planning to redeem yourself? It is certainly evident that you have the means. Packages are sent all around the world everyday.

No, @Patrickbrick dbeckom is not RBeckom...that is my brother as many on here will tell you. It is true that he had issues with a few people on here, but that had nothing to do with me.
