Haha!   Then we would all look stupid.  That's a near impossible one unless you get a Genesis, a lot 23 or an LP   Or something else that just isn't similar to others.

I sent all robustos this time around, and I received the same.  It makes it very challenging (hence my 1 point), but it is a lot of fun. :biggrin:

I too sent three robustos and the confusion seemed to work....But, Longhorn's three identical colored wrappers didn't help! :-(

Thanks gents.  But I have to give it to blgove.  I'm not sure how many folks that have been around a while would have missed the LGSB 5...  Sorry Bruce. And anyone who has a perdomo lot 23, look at their wrappers compared to others.  They have a very Perdomo lot 23 look and texture.  I lucked out on getting those two, almost to the point that it wasn't fair.  Brian, you killed it...  If we'd swapped cigars you'd have pounded me. :shy:

I did manage to guess that it was an LFD, and that it was the most expensive!! :biggrin:

Regarding your comments about the LGSB series. I found it interesting that you didn't find the #5 as satisfying as some of the previous editions. I thought the #5 was a great smoke, and your observations  make me want to try the others - availability not withstanding.  I like the suggestions recently mentioned on this forum regarding possible changes to make it more fair for everyone - including Rookie Geeks like me :smoker:

My bad ^^^

In that case... You still didn't win.

To the winners, I've had these in ziplocs in the humi for a couple weeks but still have not sent them. Hopefully you have something to smoke while waiting on me to remember to pick up some flat rate boxes.

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.

So, I got my prize package earlier this week.  Awesome!   Thanks Mike.  Only have had one, the 88, and it's one of my faves!    :dancing:

Great idea to require same sizes and bo distinctive features. Will definitely level the playing field and make for a great challenge. Maybe too much of challenge? Maybe we could do one requiring distinctive features and sizes for the rookies?

Very nice prize pack!

Michael - It might make it more difficult, but it would definitely even the playing field.  We could always do two levels - one with similar cigars (difficult) and one where anything goes.
