A Question of Etiquette - Page 2

I only re-gift things I have tried or have multiples of. I don't get offended if my friends give away ones I gifted them. We all have different taste and sharing makes all of this fun.

You have a 167 total cigars in your humidor/humidors? You animal! And here, I figured you were struggling to have cigars.

WOW, only 167 SEE-GARS? Looks like we might have to get a large scale bombing run together

By the way, thanks for all the comments.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

That's when my cigars can be regifted, but my gifted cigars will never go out in any maws pifs or bombs.

This pretty much the gist of it for me. Most of what I smoke was gifted to me from everyone here. In turn, much of what I buy is gifted to others here. I find a time and a place for each of the sticks given to me.

Just the simple fact of what you say, led me to believe you had fewer than that.

A large scale bombing run? Hmmm. And yes, compared to some, that is a small number. I know I have more, but exactly how many? Good question!

Yes, he is. He has moochin' down to an art form. When he is bantering, he's really moochin'.

Love you, brother.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Walt is one of my favorite people to "gift"

I was pondering this very question recently. I see nothing wrong with re-gifting. If I gave you something with stipulations it wasn't really a gift.

Now what do you all say about selling gifted cigars??

TheLostGringo · 02-24-2011, 12:00 PM

Personally see nothing wrong with re-gifting at all, selling a gifted cigar is another matter.

I have many times re-gifted cigars someone has given me if I know I will never smoke them(especially good place to gift them is to the troops)

Agreed.

I don't re-gift unless I ask the person that gave it to me if they mind. Only happened a few times.

Kinda, sorta.

I have never re-gifted but it used to bother me when others did. I got over that pretty quick.

02-24-2011, 12:30 PM

I don't see a problem with re-gifting. I have not tried them all, so that has not been an issue for me

I have a tendency to keep stuff(not cigars) that individuals gift me. They were thoughtful enouhg to think about me so I keep it.

Cigars are ment to be enjoyed by all......
