I greatly appreciate the detail with which you explained that; I read up on the other guy mentioned and I understand the frustration there; I DO NOT want to be that guy. I honestly never thought that posting a free contest would generate this thread. The reason the contest links to the blog is because the contest was not just for this forum, there were also other people that were commenting and so, rather than pulling from various places, I chose to pull a winner from one place.

I apologize if anyone feels I've invaded the system at work here. I've read nearly every cigar review post since I joined and plan to continue to do so, but I would also like to post my reviews to get opinions from everyone as well as to get ideas about other cigars I should smoke from comments you may leave on the thread.

I am not on a self-promotion mission here and I do not enjoy having my character raised to question or obscenities made toward me. The only time I've asked anyone to leave a comment on the blog was when there was something free being given away. I would like to continue to do this if everyone is ok with that; we are giving away a box of cigars in a couple weeks and I would like to post that here, but it will link to the blog as others will also be leaving comments from places other than this forum.

Take care.
