Rant: Cigar Bums

I worked at a construction company where everyone mooched from me. Pissed me off because no one ever reciprocated. So instead of giving them decent cigars, I started giving them dog turds. They didn't even know the difference.
My favorite is someone wants some sticks and then promises to bring me back a gift from Florida on their vacation. Guess what never arrives?
They can afford to go on vacation but not go to a cigar store or even offer to pay me.
That gets my short hairs up.
I finally told all them "Go fish."

Here's the best part... a LOT of people and manufacturers sent him cigars but he wasn't happy with the quality, now he's trying to trade up to get ultra premium cigars. Also, Xikar sent him some cigars and cutters and he's trying to trade at least one of the cutters away. Here's his post on the other forum. MODS - If you want to know where this was posted PM me.

I got Thomas' address and sent him a nice 5 pack in a an old travel humidor with a little humidification disk in it. They were basically mild cigars.
I hope he enjoys them. Yes. I'm a hypocrite and S.O.B. Thank you for pointing that out from your perch of righteousness. I apologize to everyone for being such a jerk. I'm having a f*****g nervous breakdown here and I'm acting like an idiot and moron. My apologies. I won't post anything until I feel more like myself.

Anybody can be down on their luck. There are guys here that wish they had your problems, you wouldn't know it because they dont constantly complain.

But your attitude that really stinks. Even when you are apologizing, you can help but spit in somebody's face. My

OK. Here's the deal. all you guys that are down on your luck and can't afford cigars, send me a PM and explain your situation and I'd be happy to send you a few sticks of what I've received lately from clients.

You really shouldn't re-gift. Just move forward

What Moe was trying to tell you is that every time you apologize you have to throw one finally jab. A true apology leaves it as 'I'm sorry' not 'I'm sorry but...'

I've on cigar boards for just four years. In just this short time I've seen scam after scam. I am not calling you a scammer but because of those with sob stories that preceded you you have an uphill battle when trying to defend mooching.
