    Default Newbie Contest II

    Time for me to make some room in my humi so I'm having a little contest for Newbies - post count has to be under 100, but over 10 at the time of this post (asshat variable). Prize is 10 beginner smokes (mild-medium) of low-mid $. So if you're not picky (really) and want some free sticks:

    Guess what is going to be the closing number for the DOW on Tuesday, April 11 by tomorrow (Friday 5pm EST). Closest score (over or under) wins.
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    I'll take a stab at it. Lets try 11,307.21 :) I got a feeling.

    The tamper's missing from it's shelf,
    And one goes with one's finger poking
    Into the bowl and burns oneself.
    If in the pipe such pain doth dwell
    How hot must be the pains of Hell!

    Thus o'er my pipe in contemplation
    Of such things - I can constantly
    Indulge in fruitful meditation,
    And so, puffing contentedly,
    On land, at sea, at home, abroad,
    I smoke my pipe and worship God."

    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    Well seeing as how the dow would have to gain close to 200 points, it looks like that feeling I had was probably gas, now that I think about it.

    Well, Thursday was a big day here in Afghanistan. If you saw the news, or visited CNN.com I am sure you would already know that a huge bomb placed Bagram on the map....er erased it from the map.

    Mauied1101; your bomp/package arrived here in excellant condition, and upon opening it I was blown away with your generosity that accompanied the contest cigars. Thanks again for doing the contest, and for your support.

    Locard
