I swear you have only made 2 posts this week - 1 a day!

This is a busy time of year for me, not taking into account the holidays, so yes...I have slowed down recently...someone must have magnificent prognostication skills to win this contest!!!    OR....I might change it at the last minute and just pick a random geek...or maybe I will do both!! Who the heck knows what will happen...I surely do not... :biggrin:  :angel:

Getting close to the cutoff...I will allow for edits up to me posting #9950, but 9951 is it, no mas after that...I will refrain from posting to give a few more geeks the time to put in their guesses. Life has been crazy busy these last few weeks, so posting up has not been as frequent as normal. However, I am off work for 10 days starting on the 23rd, so I may be able to be more active on the site...maybe! If ya wanna git sum free ceegars, or at least a chance at em...post yer guesses ya geeks!! Git yer prognostication skillz fired up!!!  :biggrin:  :angel:

Me thinks with all that time on your hands you will post a bit more often and should reach the illustrious 10,000 mark by December 31 at precisely 11:59pm~! :shades:

 As for the cigars you will offer, I am sure one will be a Le Bijou probably in Petite Robusto size, as well as a PDR Small Batch Toro, and probably one of them thar Crowned Heads La Caremes you got in Robusto size from a recent trade, plus a La Palina Kill Bill Diaria in Corona size and the last cigar should be a Flatbed Black Maduro Toro, or something along those lines......  :confused:

OK, so here is post # 9950...big whoop, eh?!  :shy: I'm gonna hold off posting until I can't hold off any longer! The #77 Shark post has been tough reading without posting, so I'm gonna address that here. I'd love to find a box, or box split at a fair price. It is a great cigar, but not at the elevated pricing seen now. Tried to buy a box on Holt's and Atlantic, which has absolutely great pricing, but they were gone lickety split! Anyhoo, I look forward to seeing some more guesses...or not. I'm only trying to give away cigars, nothing to get excited about...or is it?!  :biggrin:

Thanks to all the geeks who have posted their prognostications...y'all are top notch geeks!! Talk with y'all  sooner...or later!  :shy:  :biggrin:  :lmao:

Great contest. My guess is the 10,000th post will January 29th at 7:20 pm CST.

As for the cigars you will offer, I am sure one will be a Last Call toro, as well as a Montecristo #2 petite, an Opus X Churchhill, Room 101 Payback and a Crown Heads toro....  
The secret word is cigars!

Welp...I hit 10k...but not until I realized I was over by 4 posts! Anyhoo, Bruce came darn close, missing the win by a few hours. Since it was closest without going over, the winner is my brother E! He guessed Jan. 16th. Congrats Emerson, I will get your 5pk out sometime next week. As for what I am sending, no one guessed all four, but honestly, I wasn't expecting any one to do so. I was hoping for everyone's participation, as I had a plan for this portion of the contest based on all the guesses...so, no winner there. I'm guessing I may just toss a few extras in for E...or not...who knows!

Thanks to all who guessed, and thanks to everyone for making Cigar Geeks such a great family to be a part of...Namaste y'all!!  :biggrin:  :angel:

 :?: Maybe its your Chinese math skills that have me stumped.  If the contest is "closest without going over" and today is 1/12, and E guessed 1/16, isn't his guess "over"?  :confused:

If I'm right about this, then I want you to send my prize to E anyway, so that the outcome is the same. Just puzzled when I read this and wanted to know that I wasn't losing my mind! (Which, after this week, is quite possible!)  :loser:

perhaps its just my simple logic which has you perplexed!! You guessed Jan. 10 @ 7pm, I hit 10k on Jan 12...so, you went 2 days over the date of the actual moment...hence, your chance of winning was "over"...basically, at 7:01pm on Jan. 10, your guess had expired...it looks as though I could have explained it better...but it wouldn't have mattered...you were close...but no cigars!!!!  :angel:  :shy:

The contest is real simple...guess what date and time I cross the bridge to 10k posts...and here are the rules:

 You must enter your guess by the time I hit 9950 posts...9951 and up...no soup for you...
 Closest to exact date and time wins...you go over, you ain't closer...
 Hit the date exact, and within 1 hour of time...bonus sticks...
 There is absolutely NO editing your entry...
 Only 1 entry per geek...

Thanks for the winnings Brian! The selection looks delicious to me! I was going to pick that uncle Lee out of the pass when it got here to try, but now I don't need to, thanks! I love those reds, and the Curivaris as well, great picks!

Thanks again,
