My Stogies No Longer

[JordanWexler]

Wouldn't be the first time - i think some people are just wary of those who take advantage of the CS community. Lookin out for each other is all.

Something is odd here. A person who was staying with you took your last 20 sticks and you know who it is but there is nothing you can do? There is a lot you can do, like go find his ass. And the guy smoked 16 sticks of his before he left? And he knows exactly what and the count of everything he has left.

As you will note in this persons first post in 2006 he stated he smokes 5-8 cigars a day. How does someone who had 20 smokes left, smoke 5-8 a day?



Not trying to judge if this really did happen, but sounds like something fishy. Did he rob you or walk off with your stuff? How is someone who was staying in your home unreachable?

Don't know, but most people could carry something that is 22" x 18" by themselves.




Just wish we could get some more information or atleast something clear here.

Umm, yeah. Taking advantage of the community is quite a stretch from what has transpired in this thread so far. All of you calling BS need to back off the guy until he actually posts something that is considered trolling IMO. He hasn't asked for a damn thing. So he doesn't post much, if at all...big friggin deal. I know a lot of people here who rarely post. Hell, I don't post as much these days with all the BS/political/piling on type threads. Could he be leading into something trying to troll for freebies?? Maybe, but until he casts that line into the water....Get off his back!

What he said.

As for the OP - Bummer, hope at the very least that said individual is no longer welcome @ your house.

Call the police.

OP doesn't make any sense. Either he's making up a BS story for no good reason (or for a sinister reason), or he was tired or drunk when he made this unclear post.

I don't post here much, but I do read CS a lot. I'd tend to give the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter is true, but keeping in mind that the former is a possibility.

my apologies for making it seem like i was accusing, i wasnt - i was just trying to shed some light on a common issue - i don't doubt this actually happened, pure speculation and it wasnt meant to debase anybody on this forum.

20 plus sticks and a 300 ct humi??

Sounds like theft to me.

I am unsure as to why you would not be able to do anything about it, if the guy stole from you he stole from you. Allowing people to get away with that type of behavior just propagates the continued behavior in my opinion.

I don't believe in taking things into your own hands but society has rules and laws for a reason. Call the police and have him charged.

As for the comments about trolling I can understand the concern. CS members looking out for the community, maybe a little aggressively but in my opinion with best intentions in mind.

Tanz I think that what people are confused about is the clarity of your post, it is a little hard to follow and hence there is confusion. It is possible to view your post as fishing for some CS generosity given the post is a little unclear and you have not posted anything in 2 years, forgive the jungle Gorillas for looking out for their own, their intentions are good if sometimes there delivery is not.

Perhaps you can clear up exactly what happened and why you can't do anything about it.

It definitely sucks that someone stole your stash that type of behavior shouldn't be tolerated, especially if you opened up your home to the person. But given that they where there for a month I am certain there is something that you can do to either retrieve your property or have the guilty party held responsible.

Best of luck

I know I have not had the time to be here as much lately and not to be a total d*ck but have we not heard this story in different forms the last few months? Whether it was a party or someones roomates friend etc etc? After the first one, I was like "Man that sucks!" after the second I was thinking "Hmmmmm" and after the third all I could think was "BS, Blatent mooch attempt" Sorry I am questioning the truth behind this story especially with only 4 posts and his prized stick being such a rare high dollar smoke. Again, not looking to pile on but this story has been told all too often. Feel free to ding me as you see fit if you feel I am out of line but I honestly question the validity of this story.

- a very well-balanced post. I'm sure much can be cleared up (in whatever direction) with some clarification from the OP.

2 years 4 post. Than post about his humi being stolen. Smells funny to me. Just seems obvious that something is not right here. Sure I like to give a person the benefit of the doubt. But IMHO this is just to obvious to me. Hope I'm wrong. CS is a great place with very very generous members. God do I ever know. But most are wise enough to see through it if it's not true.
As far as what to do. Contact the individual, tell him he has 24 hours to return it or your calling the police or just call the police now.

I hope things work out for you, brother.
Good Luck!!!
