Hello all,

Sorry for the delay on this... a family crisis had me out of state for the past week and a half and I had limited access to the internet. Actually, I wasn't thinking too much about this with everything going on, but the situation is in hand now.

OK - So I have a little unfinished business here. Not too many entered and no one voted, so I've decided to change the rules. Let's make this a free-for-all!

I am changing the prizes because of the delay, so everyone who entered will make out a little better.

Here's the deal -- on Friday I am opening up the voting again (your names will NOT be shown but you can only vote once) but between now and then I want everyone to make a case for their favorite. I don't care if it has anything to do with the tips they posted (since no one voted in the first place I think I am free to change the rules!) Be creative! Lie! Cheat! Steal! Do whatever you want for your guy (or you) to convince members to vote your way. Post as much as you like! And, of course, the entrants CAN vote for themselves. Here is the new line up of prizes.

pick 2 of any of he following (1 each or 2 the same.) First place gets first choice, 2nd place gets to pick from what's left, etc. There are 2 of each available. (ISOM)


Bolivar Coronas
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2
Diplomaticos No. 2
Punch Punch

Since you will probably want to age these fro a while, I will include one of the following to smoke now (there are plenty of these to go around)

5 Vegas Series 'A' Artisan
5 Vegas Limitada '05 Belicoso

Both nice cigars.

Entrants are (in order of submission)
basil
BugMacFU
drew_goring
NullSmurf

Again, I apologize for the delay. Hope this makes up for it! Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

Have at it ladies and gentlemen
