Good Traders and Standup Guys Book III by rastacat
Updated by Tres Patines
Thanks to all great traders and standup guys that made the first [and second] thread[s] such a success. It wouldn't be La Famiglia without ALL of you.
I now submit a condensed version of the original thread as of August 14, 2003. Each person on the list was voted at least once. One or more asterisks following a name indicates additional votes. The mo' stars, the mo' better.
Those with five or more stars are truly generous and distinguished individuals, and I hereby induct them into the brand new Cigar Trading Hall of Fame for their heroic deeds and dedication to One Love.
First, the Cigar Trading Hall of Fame: [5 or more stars]

One for the most recent PIF I got from him, and at least 1 more from past PIF's, trades and box passes. He always sends packages out quickly and are received in excellent condition. If I count correctly that would be 4 times he acted outstanding.

Right back at ya, Plume. You sent some tasty sticks.
And coincidentally, JRBoriqua gave me one of those unbelievable custom Salomons a couple months ago. I think that may have been the best cigar I've ever had.
So a vote for each of you guys!

I think ClaudeWilliams should receive his 5th star and be promoted...He's truly gracious and helpful....A thoroughly honest and stand-up guy.
Castle has another vote as well.

i really need to give credit where credit is due. my first trade with sbynyc and he has gone above and beyond the norms of generosity. i simply said that i hadn't had an opportunity to try a specific cigar and that i'm not too concerned with numbers so let's just do this trade...well maybe next time i should specify numbers so i don't feel like i just got buried. i know, it really was my fault.
anytime sbynyc!
