Over the last few months it has gotten increasingly more difficult to get into the top ten.  I was quite surprised when I checked today and found that you now need over 130 points to get into the tenth position and it is only ten days into the month.

I am sure that this will be the highest scoring month ever.  Any guesses to what the scores are going to look like?  My bet is that you will need at least 400 points to qualify.  :hitme:

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

We've been saying that for six months now!  With the influx of new members and an increase in reviews, the number of points being awarded has definitely risen.  Unless your talking about a particular member's point total (I won't name names, but it rhymes with mfuss)!  I'm starting to get a little left behind in a number of categories.  Looks like I need to step up my game a little!

What I find interesting is the number of new entries to the cigar database. It seems like several new-ish members have added quite a few recently.

I mean, you'd think we'd run out eventually...

Fun Fact:
Groucho Marx suffered from insomnia, which he claimed was due to a financial loss in the stock market. When he suffered from insomnia, he used to call people up in the middle of the night and insult them. In the 1950s Groucho was invited to take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. While in the observation booth, he grabbed the public address system handset and began singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady". Upon hearing silence coming from the trading floor, he walked into view, was given a loud cheer by the traders, and shouted, "Gentlemen, in 1929 I lost eight hundred thousand dollars on this floor, and I intend to get my money's worth!" For fifteen minutes, he sang, danced, told jokes, and all this time, the Wall Street stock ticker was running blank.

I thought I was hot stuff by adding 20ish new cigars this month; I was going to take the rest of the month off.  After looking at the leaderboard, doesn't look like I will be able to  :confused:

The amount of points racked up so far is unreal.  I have a fair amount myself, but running out of cigars to review.  I am going to smoke some of the ol faithfuls and watch this from the sideline!

I need to get some points built up, too. Not so much for the points contest, but so I don't have to miss out on the passes!!  :sad:
Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most.

Just keep in mind that the points are most useful for the monthly drawing.  To get staus (such as mmber, regular, expert) you need posts.  Also, posting helps us to get to know you.
