Pop Quiz

**heftysmokes** · 03-14-2006, 12:48 AM

Allright, everybody, I'm making room in the humi, and instead of a simple giveaway, I'm going to make somebody work (but not too hard) for some free cigars.

Following is 13 hints for 13 different cigars...I'm sure some of them are out of production, but they were definitely around at some point in time.

You can guess as many times as you like, but not twice in a row (however, i'm guessing this won't be taking too long, there's not too much thinking involved!)

The first person to correctly guess all 13 cigars will receive a little package from Montana.

Good luck!

3 Wrong...you did catch me on a few, though. I checked some of your answers that I originally thought were wrong and they were, in fact, also correct. So I gave you credit for those.
However, there are 3 that I just can't find.

1.Davidoff
2.Evita
3. Excalubar (hoyo De Monterey)

5.The Griffins
6 Gurkha
7 Henry Clay
8 Torquay
9 CAO Brazilia Anaconda
10 Sherpa
11 San Cristobal
12 Sancho Panza
13 IT Fire

I'm guessing I have at least one wrong. But hey I tried.

Sherpa is a Carlos Toraño brand. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...em=CS-S9&cat=3

Lala Fuerte is an obscure brand.

And Henry Clay is a weird Havana now DR brand.

If those aren't the three, yah think you could give me a hint as to which 3 are wrong?

I actually looked up Lala, however, I couldn't find any relation to Agatha Christie...as far as the one's you got wrong...Lala, you gotta figger out the other 2

Basil hit it....

however, MC and Pro Joe, since in retrospect, my quiz had a lot of ambiguous answers, PM me your addy's and I'll get a little something sent your way, too!

My original answers...
1. Davidoff
2. Evita
3. Excalibur
4. Montague (Macbeth was also accepted, however RyJ wasn't)
5. Griffin
6. Gurkha
7. Henry Clay
8. Orient Express (but Cypress works, good catch Basil!)
9. Player's Club (but XXX and Anaconda both counted)
10. Sherpa
11. San Cristobal
12. Sancho Panza
13. Baccarat (Royale worked, too)

So, in all fairness, you're all winners in my book (just for taking the time to play my goofy game).

Thanks, guys, and get those addy's PM'd to me

I must say that quiz was a doozy. Apparently a problem with cigar companies is that the culture and history that they take their names from are very similar. And some of those questions were totally obscure :p

And excellent choice on the avatar, hefty.

Lol. Good show man.

Hey Hefty don't worry about it. I didn't really do it for the smokes I just wanted to win. Awesome little idea though. Good on you for setting it up.

Nate
