    Exclamation MR5 Side Challenge #1

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it:

    Note: You can participate in the side challenges even if you were voted off.

    In this thread, post a picture of 5 cigars, side by side, on the counter of your local B&M.
    The 5 cigars must be one of each of these vitolas: churchill, lancero, perfecto, robusto, torpedo.
    The 5 cigars must be produced by a manufacturer whose name starts with the letter "P".
    The 5 cigars must be from 5 different manufacturers.
    The picture must be clear enough to verify manufacturer and vitola (i.e. a cell phone camera might not be enough).
    The first participant to post a qualifying picture wins.

    The team member who wins the challenge will have their points doubled for Round #2. If the challenge winner has not been voted off, their doubled point value will count towards the team total. If the challenge winner has been voted off, their doubled points will only count towards their personal point total (for winning the prize packs at the end).

    To post the image, first you will need to upload it to Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, or similar. Then post a reply to this thread, clicking on the "Insert Image" button and selecting "From URL". You will need to un-check the box for "Retrieve remote file and reference locally".

    Reading the rules I would believe that the vitola and brand names must be visible in both pictures. I would say that the only picture that you can be sure of the vitola in is so blurry that one can not actually make out the brands therefor not a win. I really have no chance of winning this myself however because I have no B&M. Judges ruling?

    The last picture qualifies exactly. I submitted the others just for fun.

    I still say the PM and Padilla are blurry as hell but I suppose the Blowholes need as much help as they can get. I don't predict Titan to get more than a 670 on the next review so he's not really a concern anyway.

    Care to put a friendly wager on that?

    Are you lodging a formal that I will have to actually consider, in conference with buzz, or are you conceding victory to the greek newblet guy

    Oh I would never concede victory to any newblet guy definitely not the Greek one, however I am certainly not going to quibble over someones obvious lack of quality photo taking abilities.

    Wow, nice! I didn't think we'd have a winner so quickly. Congrats TheGreekTitan, you will receive double points for Round #2.

    I can see the future side challenges will need to be a little tougher... and perhaps more embarrassing...

    Thank you very much! I'm sure you do realize that this challenge was a bit embarrassing. Especially when I almost dropped the Padron and he told me it was $38. Then I asked him to put it back, please.
