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).
Sounds like fun.Thanks for the contest.
very generous!
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.)

Sorry about the delay on this, I was pretty sick this last week, and this contest had slipped my mind.
I am declaring Daniel, aka Kid Montana, as the winner of the contest. I will be shipping your prize out early in the week.
Thanks to everyone who participated.

Holy cow, where the hell have I been? I didn't even realize I'd won until I got a package in the mail! Thanks Rebecca, having been on a Safari, I'm always excited to see what other people have done. If you'd like to share a picture of your blending cards for the Joya blend and the DE blend, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to hold off smoking your custom blends until later this summer, to give them an appropriate amount of rest. Thanks so very much!!!!
