    Default Another Newbie Contest

    Time for another contest. This is open to new people with 300 or less posts. Hopefully, people that are still experimenting with new cigars that are also short on storage space. I am getting rid of my desktop humis to family and friends, but still have a couple to work with...

    The contest: Guess the Winner of the Miami and Chicago NBA playoff series. As a tie-breaker, guess the number of games- e.g. Chicago 4-2. If an additional tie breaker is needed, I ask that you please post the final score of the final game of the series regardless of the duration in total games.

    The Prize:
    -One 15-20 count cherry humidor. It is the one in this picture (these cigars are not included)
    -One Cuban Crafters single blade cutter
    -One paperback book "Cubans- The Ultimate Cigars"
    -The cigars listed in the second photo consisting of: ITs, Sancho Panza, Baccarats, Amoroso, Baitoa, Cohiba Yellow Band -DR, AF Curly Head, Macanudo Portofino (sorry, BPP), and a Belmore.

    Miami will win.
    They will win the series 4-3.

    There's my not so educated guess

    Edited: Wasn't sure if you wanted us to take a stab at the score of the final game or just post the actual final score. So I am gonna say the score of the final game would be Miami-97 and Chicago-89

    Did I win ??
















    Nice contest SLC
    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!"

    Shit! I just received a PM from Bassfever declaring Locard as the winner, which he is. I do not know how I missed that being a numbers guy and all. So congrats Locard! Please, PM me your address.

    Bassfever, sorry for the mix-up. I have a little "something - something" coming your way as well.
