Huge possibility for SPLITS!

So... This post is two things in one - a question and an offer... I will be buying a variety of samplers and boxes, etc and for cost effectiveness and because I do NOT have enough space and do NOT want to buy yet another humi, I wanted to see if people here would be interested in "helping me out" and doing some splits with me... When I have a list of everything that I want to get/split - I will post it here. For example - I might be looking to get a certain sampler with decades, cask strength IIs, nica libres, etc in it and then I can split the sampler with somebody. Evenly or unevenly... In any case I can get some good deals and would be nice... So.. Now to the question:

What is the procedure for a split? How does one go about it? Its different than trading because it actually involves money. How do you do the exchange? I trust most people here on the trading list so I guess mailed check is fine.. But also - what about the shipping? When I mail it to you - do we split the cost or you pay for your shipping? If I get free shipping on my purchases I do not mind splitting shipping costs because it is a fair deal - u help me out and I help u out... anyway... Thanks!

    I'd definitely be interested. Running low on Decades and I'm sure there will be others I'd be interested in as well. Let me know what you end up deciding to buy.

    I know exactly the sampler you're talking about, it was hard for me not to jump on it as well. Unfortunately, I'm not really in a position to be picking up too many more smokes right now, otherwise I'd jump all over your offer.

    As far as your questions:
    Generally one person will procure the cigars. The other particpant(s) in the split will send their money to the procurer, either by check/money order or PayPal, depending on what works best for everyone involved in the split. As far as shipping, that all gets worked out between the splitties, I don't see an issue with helping to cover the costs of shipping though.

    I have only done 1 split and it was a 3 way! Maddy, Luko and I went in on a box of Nordings. It was real easy. Maddy told me how much my third was, so I sent him a check and a few days later I got the sticks. However, now that I think about it I don't remember anything about the shipping. I hope Maddy didn't cover that out of his own pocket. Maddy?

    I don't know the sampler you are talking about but it does sound good with the cask strength and Nica Libres. I would be willing to split with you

    I would be willing to help with the split if you are still looking for people. I've been wanting to try the Nica Libre

    I think he added the shipping cost to the total and we each paid a third. At least I'm pretty sure he did, I hope so. That was a good split...I don't have room for a whole box, but 8 nordings was just what the doctor ordered. I love those.

    Ok... So here are some of the "deals" or whatever you want to call them... Now... Some of these go "together" apparently because they are in a sampler.. However, if enough people are interested we might be able to plan the combinations in such a way that everybody gets what they want - a little from here, a little from there... Apparently I will not post links to actual things on here.. Some of them are from CCOM.. Some are not.. some I'll bid on, etc...

    The following are what YOU can get. I keep what's left (pretty much its a 50/50 split hahaaah). If you want the details on the actual sampler = PM, I guess money should not be listed here cause this would look like a bazaar

    Rocky Patel Mini-Salomons - 2x ITC 10th Ann, 2x Fusion, 2x Signature
    Mild/Medium Sampler - 3x Fonseca Vintage Robustos, 3x Verdadero Ogranic Torpedos
    Medium/Full Sampler - 3x Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robustos, 3x Camacho SLR Robustos, 3x 5 Vegas Relic, 3x Perdomo Reserve Maduro Robustos, 3x Padilla 1932 Robustos
    RP Sampler - 2x RP 1990 Mini-Belicoso, 2x RP Decades Toro, 1x JAVA Corona
    Box-Pressed Sampler - 2 of each of the following - Rocky Patel Decade Torpedo (6.5" x 52), Gurkha Avenger G5 Torpedo (6" x 52), 5 Vegas Cask-Strength II (6" x 52), Cuba Libre Magnum (5.5" x 55), Nica Libre Exclusivo (5.5" x 50)

    More will probably be added... Interested?

    Cheers!

    That RP sampler is looking pretty good...... :-) Send me a PM if I can have dips on this and then can deal with the money and shipping.

    Oh, and I don't have any fonsecas, but I have had them before and I am not wild about them. Plus, I still have a lot of Verdaderos left. But, that Decade is looking mighty fine!!

    I wouldn't mind getting the rest of the medium/full if Goldy gets one of each. Just PM me if it is okay since I am new here.

    Ok... ALL people have been PM-ed! Check your messages boys and tell me what you think about the splits... After last night I also want to get some more 5 Vegas stogies... So I did a "custom" (over the phone) sampler with... some other site and I have this also to offer:

    5 Vegas Stan's Nickel - 5x 5Vegas Miami and 5x 5Vegas "A" all in toro size with the A being a box-press...

    Also, I still seem to have the RP Solomons sampler and the Mild/Medium sampler available for splits.. Interested? Some of you might be familiar with the solomon sampler... this is the only one which is not 50/50 when it comes to the actual brands listed... from that sampler I keep - 1x ITC, 3x RP MM, and 1x Fusion and 1x Signature...

    Cheers!

    Just to clarify cause I don't know if I mentioned it in previous posts - half of the "samplers" listed here are actually things I have made "custom" at a certain retailer after calling them and bargaining... They may not last for too long... And as far as freebies - i will not be getting any because of the fact that they are giving me good prices on these "customs"... But I will send "freebies" along with my packages lol... Anyway... Just FYI..
