Title: Cigar Geeks Band Winner
Post by: SenorPablo on 07/02/2013 09:04 AM
Hi folks.  Well it seems after all the rounds of voting we have a pretty clear winning design.  This one was a concept that junglepete had and nebnorse did the graphics work on.  Very nice indeed!  So it seems we have 2 co-winners.  So it makes sense to me to give a 5er to each when they come out.  Thanks for both guys in creating the design.

I need to find out now exactly how we get it produced and what kind of format the graphics need to be in.  I expect nebnorse will have to make a few tweaks to get it in a format we need and maybe he wants to do a touched up version for the printer.  So let me work on that.

Thanks to everyone who put forth a design!
-Paul

My part was very very small.  I just did some fancy computer work to make it clearer.  Pete did all the hard work and all the credit should go to him.  Congrats Pete!

Cool  :biggrin: ...thanks for helping me get that posted clearer Erik. My images are crystal clear even if the Publisher software was older, it just just loses a lot of definition when changing the file to something else. I wonder if the printer guy has Publisher.

 Pete, I can help with that.  I have Publisher as well as several drawing programs that are used by printers or can save files in formats they need. Not to mention a world of fonts and such if you want to tweak.  Plus it is going to have to be sized and such....so I would be happy to help if wanted.

The thing about cigars is that they take a while to produce...
Title: Re: Cigar Geeks Band Winner
Post by: SenorPablo on 03/20/2014 12:47 PM
Hi Folks.  I can't remember the last update I provided.  Here's where we are at - We've decided to work with a different manufacturer than the first one due to typical long distance relationship issues - they are located in Estali and it was just too hard working that angle without a physical presence there.  Tim has forged a new relationship with a reputable factory in Miami earlier this year.  They make some nice cigars from some well known brands.  Last I talked to Tim he was working on blends at the new factory.  I'll try to get another update from him now.

 Great job. Let get this wrapped around a great smoke. 

Most printer will work with PDF format now. Be happy to help if needed
