This month's contest is designed to draw attention to a very worthy cause...

All you have to do is guess how many cigars will be accumulated for the 6th Annual Cigars for Troops Drive!

Yea, yea, I know NWB has an active link to the humidor where he's tracking the donations - read on.

YOU MAY PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST IF YOU HAVE DONATED TO THE CIGAR FOR TROOPS DRIVE (or have committed to make a donation). You can visit this thread to make your donation: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=29268.0

Checkpoint 1 (fiver of ISOM's)
Guess how many cigars will be displayed in the virtual humidor on October 15 at 11:59PM (ET).
Your post with your guess must be received no later than 11:59PM (ET) on October 10.
Only one guess per Geek.
(Note: Any guesses received BEFORE the October 10th deadline will be associated with checkpoint 1).

Checkpoint 2 (fiver of Padrons)
Guess how many cigars will be displayed in the virtual humidor on October 31 at 11:59PM (ET).
Your post with your guess must be received no later than 11:59PM (ET) on October 25.
Only one guess per Geek.
(Note: Any guesses received AFTER the October 10th deadline will be associated with checkpoint 2).


DISCLAIMER: The checkpoint winners will be determined by the virtual humidor tally being maintained by NWB. He is under no obligation to ensure all donations are updated by the deadlines of this contest (which makes this a little more interesting).  And, if you feel the need to coerce him, send a few more sticks for the cause!

All guesses must be unique - if you post a number that someone before you guessed, you're guaranteed to lose!

I hope my enthusiasm is contagious then. Setting the bar high can only have a positive effect on the total tally, at least that's what a part of me hopes. The other part of me wants the prizes :biggrin:

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.
