I realize the chances may be slim but I would like to take advantage of this forumn and ask if there are any cigar traders risiding in the Calgary region?
Thanks everybody.

well.. I'm from montreal, and that's probably the closest to a canuck you'll find around here... oh, and I used to like the vancouver canucks hockey team when I was growing up.. so maybe I'm part canuck without really knowing it...

If you check out the PIF section and other similar posts we are trading with others all over the globe.

Nope, I'm from Saskatoon!

I may be new here and you could probably take unfair advantage but I figure there are a lot more Canuks Cigar Connesseurs (CCC's) closer to Cow-Town than Montreal.

Bobcat,
I don't think CrazyCanuk would mind me telling you that he is from "Saskabush" as well.

PADRE,
I've scanned the PIF section and that is one of the reasons I've posted this inquirie.

Thanks Guys
BTW how do you post a quote that you are referring to?

i don't know what you think that I want or am, but let me tell you, the last thing I want is to take advantage of anyone.. Rest assured, I'm not looking to trade with you or anything like that... I'm not looking for anything from you; neither do I want to give you anything... I was just telling you that there aren't that many Canadians on this board (or at least way less than the Americans).. that's it...

I think you've probably been taken for a ride a few times before, and are suspect of anything and anyone....

it's funny.. I was born and raised in the middle-east, where we are always taught to never trust noone.... and somehow, I've learned to trust people, especially on this board...

But rest assured, you don't have to trust me, as I want nothing to know of what you have to offer..


Sorry, if I'm a bit rough, but I really don't like your comments nor your attitude.... I think it has no place on a friendly board like this one

Sorry Salibas,

I guess the written word can be read in ways not intended.
I sincerly opologize if you were offended.
Please re-read my post noting the above.

Geeez, another newbie spankin'

please explain to me what you mean then.... seeing how English was the 4th language I learned, I'll assume I misunderstood...

I also took your message that you were looking for people to trade with.

Caballeros,

I re-read the post and appreciate your comprehension.
I now comprehend how you read mistrust.

However I didn’t mean you “would” take advantage, I wrote that I am so new that you “could”.

I’m also hoping there are other Canuks a lot closer than the 2300 miles or so to Montreal.

One word that should have been changed from “but I figure” to “and I figure” could have spared us this confrontation.

Allow me to apologyze not only to salibas and PADRE but to the whole forum for what was written, not what was meant.

I am a standup guy, I am sure I can get my mom to vouche for me. (I think!)

A little closer 1879 miles to Windsor, Ont.

Now we're cookin'.
Thats 421 miles closer.
Do I hear 1800??

Raol.. consider this water under the bridge.... and I'm sure you're a very standup guy... after all, if your mom would vouche for you, then I'm game

welcome to the board... and hopefully, you'll find some tarding partners in the 1-1800 mile range

Salibas,……….thanks for the vote and the welcome.
I know I’m going to like it here.
PS I’m glad my mom’s vote swayed you over.

moms are always right.... (now that should make my mom proud of me )

Salibas,
Can you shoot me an e-mail?

done

LOL, you definitely sound like a stand up guy. This post has gotten pretty humorous

thanks PADRE,.... it was a bit edgy there for a bit but we're all warm and comfy now.

Just completed my first trade today.
I sent 6 RyJ Belicosos to a new contact in Saskabush and today received a Sir Winston – H. Upmann Churchill, El Rey Del Mundo – demi tasse (11 years old), Trinidad Reyes, H. Upmann Corona (about 3 years old), Quai Dorsay – imperial (about 5 years old), Los Statos deluxe cedar wrapped corona.
The problem is I can't light 'em up.
Is it wrong to wanna look at 'em a while longer?
