Ashstand contest (shamelessly "borrowed")

[drew_goring]

Well, I guess it is time for me to have another contest.

The prize will consist of:

1 Opus X (size TBD)
1 RyJ Coronas
1 Partagas PCE
a handful of my "dailys"

I borrowed this idea from another board. I hope they don't mind

The rules are as follows:

1) The stick must have been smoked between Aug. 1/06 and Sept. 30/06.
2) The stick must be free-standing on the ash with no support or assist, other than he ash itself.
3) Your favorite lighter must be present in the picture.
4) The top 5 will be determined by me and then voted on by the memebers of this site.
5) The poll will run from Oct.1/06-Oct.7/06 and the winner will be announced shortly therafter.
6) Any other rules decided by me will be implemented as I see fit. I make the final judgement .
7) Have FUN!


Here is my first entry. Although it would be disqualified for not including my favorite lighter .

Great contest Drew.

Announcing the contest early will give us plenty of time to practice .

WOW! I thats an awesome pic and cool contest. It gets too windy up here to try and get ash like that, but I damn sure am going to try!

It should be fun practicing for this. I saw some of the pics from the other contest, pretty amazing.

Thanks for hosting it over hear Drew.

are we looking for fully smoked, as your's is, or should there just be a good few inches of ash?

Hey Drew,

I think I know where this contest was originally posted.

Nice refinement of the rules. I'll have to consider some of those for the contest next spring.

Last minute entry




The ash on this baby was so tight I could have done an ash stand smoking it to the nub, but I was not sure I would enjoy smoking the label

So I actually made another ash stand with the same cigar. By the way cool volcano look at the bottom of the stand
