As you may be aware, I had the opportunity to go to the Drew Estates Cigar Safari in February. Part of the Safari is to blend your own cigars at both the Joya de Nicaragua and Drew Estates factories. So, I thought it would be fun to run a little contest for someone to get one of each of the blends that I came up with at the Safari (as well as a couple of ride alongs to fill out the prize package).

I'm going to keep it simple. Post a still picture that you think I will like the best. It can be captioned. It can be a comic strip. It cannot be a GIF or video. Everyone gets one, and only one, entry. Choose carefully. I will pick the image that I like the best on April 30th and announce the winner.


See below for blend information, and pictures of the sticks.

The Joya de Nicaragua blend is a Nicaraguan Habano Wrapper, an Ecuador Sumatra Binder, and filler from Esteli, Jalapa, and Condega in Nicaragua. It is a Robusto, 5x50.

The Drew Estates Blend is a Flying Pig shape, 5 3/8 x 60. The Wrapper is Brazilian Mata Fina, the Binder is Ecuadoran Connecticut, and the filler is a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos (including a full leaf of Ometepe Ligero).

Wow those sound delicious!

I am looking forward to them being old enough to smoke. They are residing in my Ratzilla humidor, and will be ready for smoking in the middle of May. (Three months of age post-rolling.)

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.

Very cool Rebecca.  I remember from a long time ago one of your other "interests" and a creative project you had with it.  This totally made me think of you.  :biggrin:
