I'm VERY interested in what you're doing and very curious as to how these taste?!?
Would you be interested in selling me some?
Sorry in advance if that's not allowed on here.
Can't sell 'em. Feds got nothing better to do, ya know.
But shoot me your addy via PM and I'll gift you some.

Out of curiosity, is trading allowed legally? Like if you send someone cigars and they give you some tool that they have 2 of? If that's allowed, would someone be allowed to send you silver in exchange? Or gift cards? You know what, nevermind, the whole thing makes my head hurt, and the ATF probably doesn't know the answer themselves.

I appreciate the offer, I really do, very generous of you but I'm not looking for a hand out.
Don't think of it as a hand out, this forum has lots of generous members and tasting a home rolled cigar is a great experience. You can always pay it forward to another member in the future with a bomb if you like. @VegasFrank has the nachos. (addresses)

I dunno. People have sent me ashtrays, pipe baccy, & such.
All's I do know is I HAVE been visited by the ATF. Agent came to my home in DullAware pretending to be a customer and tried to convince me to sell him some FX Smithj's Sons gars. Long story pretty funny. I didn't fall for the bait.

I'll bet that really caught you off guard.
You know, sometimes you have a sixth sense about people, if you only listen to it. We smoked a couple gars and had a good visit. Now, here's a friendly fewllow told me he lived in DullAware before he came, but told me he lived in Philly area after he got here. Wanted to pay me cash, I said pull out a card and I'll put the order in on line for him, cause I couldn't sell direct. At which point he claimed he hadn't brought a card; only cash. After I repeatedly told him I couldn't sell to him, he even suggested that if I gave him some gars then he could leave a couple twenties on the table, and "that's what a lot of guys do."
So, I hear that if a prosty suspects a john may be undercover, or vice versa if a john expects a prosty may be undercover, then they will ask, and the sneaky fink has to admit it or else the case gets thrown out. Figured it might apply here. So I asked.
"What kind of work do you do for the ATF?"
"Undercover work."
Anyways, it was all good entertainment.

Any idea how you became a target?
My totally unsubstantiated notion is that the CEO of Phillip Morris plays golf with one senator and went to Yale with two others plus sends a very attractive young lady with a low cut blouse to lobby several reps (upon whose credenzas plain manila envelopes containing cash magically appear later that afternoon), etc.... whereas I am merely a pauper running the internet store of a 170 year old American cigar factory which was driven overseas by onerous regulation. Given that background, and the fact that they have to bust somebody or other in order to justify their bureau's existence, which target do you think they would choose?

Gosh, @peter4jc , that sure was a great looking cigar you posted the other day! I've never had one of those, but I really wonder what it tastes like. All they have at my shop are White Owls and grape Swishers. I know you don't have my address yet, but if you PM me I'll give it to you. If you think you could send me a couple of those, I'll be glad to send you something in return, the following Tuesday! Thanks in advance!
We also get ATF guys trying to buy Cuban cigars from members here. Of course, the only Cubans we know about are the ones that guy in Puerto Vallarta sells at discount prices on the beach. Wrapped in plastic. Filler content is questionable, however, so if you take a Caribbean cruise, beware. I think somebody found toenails in one once.

Also, some of the guys like Webmost who roll their own have had ATF agents try to buy the cigars they roll for themselves. An arrest would surely follow. Some of them aren't even subtle about it.

Thanks for the info. It was never my intention to beg or ask for a freebie.
I now understand the risks, involved.
I posted before I realized Web had told the story, still, forewarned is fore-armed. And I doubt anyone thought you were actually dry-begging.
