1. According to his host, how many matches should Mott have used to light his first Cohiba?

Three

2. On Youtube, what is the favourite cigar of a political Florida retailer who has a history elsewhere in the online cigar community?

This question, in addition to question 4, really have me stumped. Not being that familiar of other cigar communities, I wouldn't really even know where to start. I'm still doing some research today, but realize that today is also the due date for this contest, so I figured I would just guess, then if I come across something else, I'll edit the post, as allowed by the rules.

"Political" throws me off a bit. I would guess someone associated with the CRA. Reviewing the board members, and what little I know of where each of those retailers are, I am going to guess Rocky Patel's favorite cigar is the Olde World Reserve.

3. How many of his humidors does Doc show in his Stogiefresh Youtube videos on the subject? Did you count the humidors? If yes, why?

Paying careful attention to the wording of the first question: 16 Humidors. This is, of course, unless the Cigar Caddy he has offered humidification. He didn't say it did, but then again, he didn't say it didn't. The number above represents and assumes the Cigar Caddy isn't humidified, and therefore isn't counted. The tupperware, and three individual cigar cases aren't humidified, and shouldn't be counted as "humidors". He also mentions he has another LGC limited edition humidor, but because it isn't actually "shown" in the videos, this extra humidor was not counted in above number.

I did count the humidors. Why? Because I'm willing to sit through these videos to win this contest. A breakdown is listed below:

Video 1 (large cabinet humidor): 1 Cabinet
Video 2 (limited edition humidors): mini-cabinet, 2 LGC (and one not pictured), 1 full of bundles, one special "best of" Habana selection with special bands
Video 3 (travel humidors): Tupperware, Cigar Caddy, leather 2-cigar case, Xikar 3-cigar case, camacho 4-cigar case, some weird black box (with added foam), vangard humidors customized with "Team Stogie Fresh" logo, fuente fuente opus X limited edition, Road Warrior "You can throw it in the lake" !
Video 4(desktop humidors): Daniel Marshall, lighter storage humidor, Don Carlos limited edition humidor (with Xikar polymer crystal humidifier), ellie bleu humidor from France with "worthless" analog hygrometer, stogie fresh limited edition humidor made by his friend vangard humidors in Canada (made of solid wood), JC Newman Cigar co. Anniversary Humidor (wooden chest / doors / sliding drawers)

He does tell us at the end of Video 4 that he has one more of these videos to do. One can only assume he meant one more humidor video.

4. Which retailing icon uses his fingernails to break open a cigar during a lengthy video interview on Youtube? What country was the cigar from?

I have watched so many YouTube interviews. Can't find the answer! And I've been sticking to "lengthy" interviews only - > 10 min. Several of them only interview for a minute or two, then lots of crappy filler.

Guess? I could see Sam Lecchia opening a Mexican cigar, somewhere. I don't know.

5. Viddler hosts two cigar shows that feature young(er) and old(er) hosts. Name the two cities that the shows usually come from.

Las Vegas (Las VegASH) & Oradell, New Jersey (cigarTV.com)

6. Tiebreaker question: Walt or Jerry?

Absolutely, completely, without question or hesitation: Walt.
