New to the lifestyle

I'm new to cigars and have a few friends who are into smoking. They told me that people would send me samples. I was just curious as to how to get free samples. Any advise would be appreciated Thanks.

    Asking to be bombed, or for free samples is considered "bad taste".

    If all your here for is free stuff I'd politely ask you to leave.
    Seriously though - if you're not going to contribute to the forums and all you want to do is "take" ..... please GTFO and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Otherwise see this thread: http://www.cigar.com/cs/forums/thread/17975.aspx

    Some Guidelines:
    3. Don't beg to be bombed. It's annoying and look what it got Saddam.

    Q and A:

    Q: I begged to be bombed. Does everyone hate me?

    A: No, I don't think so. But to be sure bomb someone quick!


    Q: I've just started smoking cigars but I want to get in on the games. My Humi selection is kinda lame. What should I do?

    A: First of all don't worry. If its a bomb you can return fire now, later or not at all. Remember that Golden Rule? If you like the cigars in your humi, play with those. Send a note saying why you like them. You might be surprised to learn that others may never have tried a cigar in your collection. You can also go to your local B&M and get a few sticks you know the target would like.

    well, read Newbie Thread ASAP and apply context immediately. I would like to say free stuff you can ask the POTUS for that. here it is about friendship, camaraderie, and giving more than receiving. I am new also and samples are just that, it is better to be an example for other to follow . But I could be wrong :)

    Are you new to any other hobbies? Maybe some gold coins to start a collection? It would help us send everything in one package.
