Brothers, I come to you, cap in hand, head bowed in shame, knees bent in supplication, to throw myself upon your mercy.
A bit like 'Princess Leia' in Star Wars - Episode IV (the first one), when she says 'Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope' - except she's a girl, in a dress and isn't wearing a cap, but you get the picture.

For you see my brothers, I have a great need, a need that only a fellow 'BOTL' could possibly begin to understand, or help with.
I'm seeking salvation from despair, redemption from damnation, etc, etc, yada, yada.

Namely I'm after a couple of (or even two) empty Cohiba Siglo VI Tubos. Don't ask me why, it's for a medical condition too embarrassing to talk about on an open forum.

In exchange for such bounty I am offering the lucky sender their choice of reward for their generosity, and have (below) included a selection of 'Primo Smokes' from which they may choose.

As any discerning seegar aficionado will confirm, these are treasures to behold indeed, and I would like to draw your attention to one particular fine example: The 'Trinidad' on the right hand side of the picture.

This fine stick (the centrepiece of any serious smokers collection, I'm sure you'll agree) was purchased in February 07 from a delightful 'Seegar Girl' in Miami, Florida (South Beach to be precise), on account of the fact that while I studied her tray of smokes, she kindly afforded me ample opportunity to admire her awesome rack, which she proudly displayed alongside her wares.
Unable to resist temptation (who is?), I purchased a pair of the said 'Trini's', and enjoyed one right there and then, with a wistful smile. The other I brought home as a treasured memento of the day, and it has been quietly ageing in my humidor ever since. Well until now anyhow.

It was indeed a fine smoke, though my memory of the event may be clouded somewhat on account of the 'skinful' of Margarita's I'd earlier consumed. However, should anyone decide to select this particular 'Puro' they should be aware that, like most things American and from Florida it's completely 'Mickey Mouse', but hey, if you pick it, it'll save me having to palm it off on some poor SOB in the 'Stick a stick in it' game. Along with the gawd awful 'Guantanamera' seegars and the 'Santa Clara' tubo (which was a present from my mother, God bless her).

Anyhow, assuming anyone is still reading this and has a couple of empty tubo's and a mind to play along. Just pm me what you'd like and consider yourself done (I mean consider it done).

P.S. In light of some recent apocalyptic bombings, I would like to assure any participants that should they inadvertently forget to remove the tubo's contents (whatever they may be), I will of course smoke them before they realise and ask for them back.

Many thanks 'Muchachos', that is all! :cowboyic9:

Saggel,

Gawd bless you, you kind hearted soul!
But, I couldn't possibly accept your kind and generous offer, on account of not being able to live with the guilt!

I knows for a fact that you've only just received them there tubo's, and that they is most likely 'full' of seegar-y goodness, that you haven't yet had the pleasure of enjoying.
My conscience wouldn't let me sleep at night if I were to even contemplate removing you from an empty tube (or two)!
Stick them in your humidor (caps off) and save them for a suitably memorable occasion. You deserve it.
When Leeds Utd lift the FA Cup f'instance!

But the fact you even offered ... has brought a tear to these world weary, cynical eyes.
Bless you and efharisto!

If anyone else might have an empty Siglo VI Tubo (or two, preferably) though, even a slightly battered and scratched one .. I would be eternally grateful.
Well perhaps not eternally, but certainly for a period of time commensurable with the value of said items.

I'll even chuck in a second, maybe even a third stick? Name your price.

Blimey its like 'Swap Shop' ... but without Noel Edmonds and his unfeasibly, unfashionable jumpers. Thank Gawd!

B'Jesus Cat, don't be givin' away yer age man!

Should be starting on their journey across the puddle on the morrow.

You see, I also suffered from the medical condition you allude to, but which is far too embarassing to discuss on any forum. Given the same advice, I rapidly procured two VI's from the neighborhood REEL KYUBIN SEEGAR SHOPPE which had them in a vending machine that accepted hundred dollar bills of United Statesian real moneys. Unfortunately, the tubos turned out to be... ummm... errr... well... to be blunt about it, both too short and lacking sufficient girth to accommodate my... ahhh... errmmmm.. well, shall we say "friend?"

So, I pass them along to you gladly, Le Felinemeister, and may you use them to restore your good health.

I kneel in supplication at the feet of a seegar master.
No, wait, are those ... sandals your wearing?
Excuse me, you want me to what now?
Well at least give me a washcloth and some warm water, and if you think I'm giving you a pedicure as well ...

Wow, Siglo vending machines! Imagine that! Yours is truly the land of the free/home of the brave.

I once saw a vending machine in Tokyo that dished out, worn panties. You could even get a photograph of the teenager who'd worn them. Never saw anybody trying to smoke 'em though. Guess it takes all-sorts.
(Said the giant liquorice man).

I wouldn't mind an empty tube, but not one Rok's friend has been near! Not that I would wear it in my jacket top pocket and parade about Canary Wharf pretending I could afford to smoke one mind!
