    Default HOW MUCH!!??!! Canadian Edition

    Well I think it is about time I start a contest. It will run for the next 71ish hours, or end April 9th at 10 am my time (Alberta).

    The contest is pretty simple. You need to guess the closing prices of the following 3 auctions. Whoever is the closest between all 3 wins. For example if you are 2 dollars off #1, 5 dollars off #2 and 100 dollars off #3 then your total score will be 107. Player with the lowest score wins. (kinda like golf). If the ebay auction is cancelled, then it will not be included.

    NO POSTS CAN BE EDITED!! IF YOU EDIT A POST THAT GUESS IS AUTOMATCIALLY DISQUALIFIED


    Number 1

    Number 2

    Number 3


    The only stipulation is that the participants have to be a member in good standing with more than 40 posts and cannot be an asshat. The final decision is to be made by ME. I will let the winner know sometime in the evening of the 9th, or on the 10th.





    Oh yeah, and now the important part. The prize will be an Opus X of my chosing (I only have 2 right now, so that kind of narrows it down), as well as an ISOM Mystery Stick (I will leave the band on...it is just a mystery until the contest closes) and possibly a couple hitchhikers.




    Good luck

    Number 1 = $47

    Number 2 = $608

    Number 3 = $33

    I may get disqualified due to the requirement that you cannot be an Asshat and Drew has NOT made a determination on me yet.

    I'll assume you want the details in USD as all three auctions are American. Since we aren't allowed to edit posts, should you want the guesses in Canadian Funny Money, multiply all guesses by 1.18 (to cover exchange factor).

    Thanks for putting this on Drew.

    Trust me that 89 will be a lot closer as that auction was for a single cigar.

    I think GG wins since he called that it would be pulled and therefore did not associate a value with these.

    Read my first post. The pulling of the ebay auction was accounted for.

    Does that mean I win a prize?? OK, for my prize I award myself an Opus Power ranger for tonight. Sound fair?

    This should be interesting to see how high it goes......

    Cool contest
    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!"
