Quick Trivia Question

[ndv21]

Thanks to all for participating.

The origin of this contest was an interview that took place on Sirius Radio Channel 99 (Playboy radio). The hosts were interviewing Aaron Sigmond who is one of the authors of the book "Playboy: The Book of Cigars". The answers to the questions on this contest are solely based on Mr. Sigmond's interview:

Answer to question 1:
The band should not be taken off because of the risk of tearing the wrapper. You may remove the band as the cigar gets shorter/hotter.

Answer to question 2:
The original history of the cigar band is that it used to be a simple ribbon. The purpose of this ribbon was to keep the white gloves of "Catherine the Great" from being soiled while she smoked a cigar. This is how the cigar band tradition was started.

Therefore, following the rules of the competition, the person who answered both questions right is the winner. (I did not expect anyone to get the "Catherine the Great" deal). So, Congratulations KEITH!
You win this contest. PM me your addy and I will send your prize asap.

Thanks again to all for playing!
