Thread: Cigar Draft III

  1. #1

    Default Cigar Draft III

    The Godfathers of Cigar Drafts ricmac25 & gatorsmg at Cigar Snobs came up with this idea and I want to run with it here.

    This is a pass of sorts but done in a fantasy football draft style.

    # of participants
    This is for new members of the board so any one who was in the last draft is out. The rest of you can be in. You just need to be a CigarSmokers member in good standing. I will allow as many people who what to play join as this will be the last one until after the summer.

    # of sticks to play
    5 value sticks. Value stick is a $2 & up stick that is a hidden gem. NO FLAVORED STICKS or DOG ROCKETS! You don't have to send just value sticks. If you wish to add better sticks feel free. Just remember this isn't quality for quality! This is a draft.

    How it will work
    Everyone playing will submit 5 sticks to the draft. These sticks should be posted in the draft thread that will be started (if there is enough interest anyway). All sticks will be mailed to me along with $4.00 ($9 for our Canada BOTL's. Books are heavy.) to help with my shipping costs back to each participant. Once all sticks have been received I will post a list of all cigars in the draft. We will make our selections just as in a fantasy football draft ie: if there are five players each player chooses any one stick per turn in this order 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 etc. I figure the only fair way to come up with a pick order is to have a non bias person here on Cigarsmokers put all of the participants names in a hat and draw them one at a time, the 1st drawn being first to pick in the draft and so on. After each selection is made it will be posted in the thread and the next person will make their selection. We will set some sort of time limit on this so it doesn't take forever to complete our draft. Once everyone has selected their 5 sticks and the draft is completed I will mail each player their selections.

    So it's basically a pass but instead of taking your turn and then seeing something you would have liked to try pop up later when it's too late you get to see ALL of the possibilities up front. Of course the hard part is deciding which sticks are a "priority for you".


    Time Table
    This is open to change if need be.
    All sticks must be received by May 5.
    The draft will start May 8 at 8:30am and run until finished. I hope by May 12. Once done I will mail them out hopefully that day if not then the next. If you can not be online during the picking time please PM me a list of all the cigars in the order you want to pick. When your turn comes up I will pick the first available cigar from your list for you. This is only if you aren't going to be around the time of the picking.

    It says minimum $2.... I don't think anyone would frown on someone putting 5 $2 well-known sticks up. I certainly wouldn't.
