What Can I Win?
There are some great cigar prizes, including a selection of all of the cigars that we have smoked for the tier 2 portion of the contest. Think about that, you could win 32 different very good cigars. There are lighters and cutters, as well as t-shirts and posters. Finally, for one lucky winner there is a day trip visiting cigar producers in their offices in South Florida. Imagine spending a day visiting Gurkha, Aging Room, and El Titan de Bronze (where you will watch the expert rollers, hard at work. I’m sure that we’ll some place for lunch. And, of course my guess is you won’t go home empty handed. There are sue to be more cigars than what you smoke.
