Rob gave me the approval to run the contest this year, so here we go. It has been a challenge to fill up all the squares, so I came up with an idea that may limit the number of contestants, but assign more squares. Here is what I propose:
First set of squares sold is (10) at one time, and the requirements are:
(1) $15-20 cigar
(2) $10-15 cigar
(3) $5-10 cigar
So, each contestant must purchase the 10 square / 6 cigar package first. After that, you can buy individual squares. Cigar value determines how many squares you get. Here is the value of each cigar:
$15-20 cigar = 4 squares
$10-15 cigar = 2 squares
$5-10 cigar = 1 square
Once all the squares are sold, cigar prizes will be awarded as follows:
1st quarter winner - 20% of total cigars
2nd quarter winner - 20% of total cigars
3rd quarter winner - 20% of total cigars
Final score winner - 40% of total cigars

Winner of this contest will get a 5pk from yours truly
Send cigars to me, and please label each cigar with the dollar amount you are assigning it. Include $2-4 to help cover shipping to each winner, and I will cover the rest. If more money is collected than postage costs, I will donate the money to our local blood collection center.
I am leaving town on Thursday Feb. 2nd. so if y'all wanna do this, ya gotta act fast! If everyone posts what they are committing to in this thread, that will speed things up, and we can get all the cigars together and sent out after the Superbowl. Once we have 100 squares committed to, this thing is closed...first come, first served... so act fast!!
