Here's the deal, smoke a cigar that another Geek(member of this forum) has given you, complete a review for the cigar, post here with the cigar name and the Geek's name the gave it to you and you're entered. Easy right? Yep, that's it. Smoke, type, win cigars.
 
The nitty gritty:

1) This contest will run the entire month of March (Midnight Central time March 31st 2016)
2) You must be of veteran status by the end of the contest, I assume if you've been here long enough to have received cigars from another geek you'll have your 60 days in without issue by March 31st...and if you don't have 100 posts, get to it.
3) The Geek that provided the cigar must be a member of Cigar Geeks.
4) You must complete a review for said cigar in the database.
5) You must post in this thread by the deadline which cigar you reviewed and who gave it to you, minimum....if you want to acknowledge your undying love for said Geek, that's your choice.
6) Multiple cigars may be smoked and reviewed, limit of 5...but smoke em anyway, someone gave them to you for that purpose.
7) Random generator will be used to determine the winner, each cigar reviewed and posted in this thread is worth 1 entry, you may enter up to 5.

The winner will receive a handsome fiver from me...and if you didn't know already I don't smoke dog rockets...though I may go buy some to provide as a prize

*I reserve the right to modify the rules of this contest at any time and my say is final.
**No purchase required, alternate entry may be made by sending a postcard(to my mailbox), arriving no later than the contest deadline.

Any questions? No? Good, go forth and smoke those gifted cigars!   :dancing:

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

Great idea for a contest, Brian.  I've sent out a few Pineapple White Owls to members over the years, but I've never felt the love.  :lmao:

This is a terrific contest idea. I love seeing what people have to say on cigars, and need an excuse to smoke what people have sent me. :biggrin:

Just smoked a Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No. 5 from ThinBlueLine as part of a blind 20 sampler.  You will find my review has been posted!  Not enough good words to say about Scott.  The sampler was out of this world, and from what I've tasted so far, I'm looking forward to burning through the remaining *24 sticks  :shy:

Reviewed the Marco V Gigante Gold Label sent by millarddj from the Christmas Carol contest.  I expected something much different judging from Neal's review, and I'm guessing I just didn't get a good one.  Glad I got to try it though, thanks again Daniel.

Just reviewed a Tatuaje Limited Release Cojonu 2012 Sumatra that I got from Brian (nirab) in a blind trade for a handful of Liga #9's.  Damn, that was an amazing cigar.  One of the best I've had recently.  I had a different, better experience with this smoke than the prior reviewers.  I can't recall if this was one in the trade proper or in the BOMB that came with the sticks.  Either way, Brian is the man.  Appreciate it brother.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure what sticks were what, but that is a great smoke. That one had some age on it too.  :biggrin:
