Finally, I can stop smoking these shit sticks and get back to something I'll enjoy smoking...... Just kidding. Thanks for this - looking forward to the next one. I really hope the bribe I sent was enough.

    Editor's Note:


    These cigars were purchased from My Discount Cigar. We picked them up for $89.90 with free shipping (bundle of 25). The cigars came nicely packaged, but were in a bundle despite the picture of a cedar box. I didn't see any damage to the cigars and the cello and bands came of easily.

    Irish79 held on and claims the title of MR5 champion of champions! The Blowholes finally were able to win a round by getting the identity of Irene correct. The Whiny Bitches have come out victorious, with a total point count of 51,149 to the Blowholes' 48,778. The Whiny Bitches will therefore receive 4 prize packs while the Blowholes only receive 3. The prize pack winners are (in order of cigar selection order): Irish79, logan37, Mizicke5273, heftysmokes, TheGreekTitan, badwhale, and VancouverMark. There are 34 total cigars available for the prize packs: 7 My Fathers, 9 Tatuajes, 4 Avos, 5 Camachos, and 9 J. Fuegos. Prize pack selections will occur in a different thread.

    Yeah awesome MR. most of these were smokes I had not had before so I was pretty worthless and not much of a help. Thanks to the rest of the Whiny Bitches for getting our team the overall win. Congrats to the prize winners and Congrats Irish for claiming the championship.

    Thanks Buzz and Ash it was really fun.

    Great Mega Review Buzz & Ash! We sort of coasted at the end, except for PJ. It would have been a lot closer if PJ & Logan didn't claim a few bonus points in the final challenge.
