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.

Last year's winner got 60+ smokes out of the deal.

Hey all!

I've been AWOL for quite some time and don't think I ever posted this picture of last years winnings.  Shame on  me!

Better late than never I suppose.

Anyway.  If you're on the fence......the picture says it all.  An Epic display to be sure!

I'll play again if I'm welcome, realizing  I've relegated myself to "Lurker" status

Right on! Can you confirm your bracket name, or rename it RDF?

 I think you make 11, which means 50+ sticks to the victor. :dancing:
