Ok geeks.  Seems our pals, Bruce (Brlesq) and Dave (gitfiddl) have never smoked A Rocky Patel Decade.

Now, after this revelation, I was prompted to gather bubble wrap, packaging tape and have at it.

But Kens latest post on the " What happens when 4 geeks have 30 bucks burning a hole in there pockets"

Gave me the idea for a contest.


So here it is.


Simple:

Wayne sends Decade cigars to Dave and Bruce.

Dave and Bruce smoke Decade cigars by the end of the month. (Both cigars have over a year on them, they're beyond ready)

Dave and Bruce review Decade cigars based on the 100 point system.

(Now the kicker) The Geek who correctly guesses the total of combined scores wins a prize pack from yours truly.

EXAMPLE: Dave: 85  Bruce: 90   Total 175.


Rules:

One Guess per Geek in good standing. (100 points or better)
Guessing will end St Patty's Day, March 17 11:59 pm. Submitted reviews posted by the 31st.
If no one guesses the right number, closest wins.
In the event of a tie, I'm screwed.
Dave and Bruce are ineligible. (They're already getting free cigars)



So Bruce and Dave, stand by to receive....And Geeks: Happy Guessing!

You're sending me a cigar?  How can I say no?  Feel like I've already won.  Thanks, Wayne!

Dave and I will have to hold our reviews until you call the date that the guessing is over.  Can you make that during the last week in March so we have at least a couple of weekends to get this done?

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Wayne says "(Both cigars have over a year on them, they're beyond ready)" above, so not ROTT, if that's what you thought ...

These must be phenomenal cigars, Bruce, judging by the guesses.  Most so far have us giving them an average of 90!

I've been noticing that too, Dave.  They must be freakin' awesome!  Sure hope I don't let these guys down if the review score is less than stellar.
