One Year Anniversary Contest

So my one year anniversary on this awesome forum is on 10/06. To celebrate this and to thank the forum, I have put together a contest. I have taken close-up shots of ten cigar bands. The contest is to guess the name and blend of the cigar (e.g. 5 Vegas Miami) Whoever gets the most correct wins.

Some notes:

Contest ends midnight on 10/06
All cigars are non-ISOM
The cigars only feature a single band.

    PM'd my guesses, one of the bands is still kicking my ass but i SWEAR i've smoked it before. Great contest!!

    Sweet idea, I think I got a fair number of them but I'm sure someone nailed them all. That old cigar box full of bands sure did come in handy.

    See? There was a reason why you were collecting them, haha.

    10 seems so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

    Ok, hints for #7 and #10:

    The name of #7's brand is named after it's creator.

    Cigar #10 was released this year.

    Hope that helps. It was hard thinking of helpful hints that won't give away the cigar outright.

    Alright, here's a couple more:

    A "cousin" of cigar #7 has a "flowery" reputation.

    Cigar #10 was released with a Habano or Sumatra wrapper.

    Hmm...cigar #3 is often discussed on this forum (i.e. numerous threads have been made, and they typically revolve around one aspect of this cigar).
  • sightunseensightunseen Posts: 2,130 ✭✭
    Want to make sure everyone knows this. You can edit your guesses until midnight tonight when the contest ends.
  • kaipocruz1kaipocruz1 Posts: 61 ✭✭
    Whoops...I just looked and I was in need of help with #4 not #3...I'm an idiot! (The greenish one)

    What a great idea for a contest! I don't stand a chance as I chuck all my bands immediately and the old memory ain't what it used to be.

    I tallied up the score and it looks like kaipocruz is our winner! PM me your addy and I will get something out. Once again, thanks to everyone that played this game. It's been an awesome first year on the forums and I look foward to many more years to come.
  • kaipocruz1kaipocruz1 Posts: 61 ✭✭
    Right on, that was a really good contest idea. Number 4 got me!!! I thought it looked like a vintage cigar, so I figured I had no chance...funny thing is that I tried one of those for the first time last month. Thanks for the contest.
