Once again it is hot and muggy outside, perfect timing for another Summer Heat Giveaway! For those of you who weren't around for last summer's heatwave, won by our very own Sniper doing a little Pug Sailing, this is a photo contest. Last year's winning photo:
This year's contest will be set up the exact same way:
THE CONTEST: This is going to be a picture contest. Post a photo of you escaping the heat however you do it (local swimming hole, relaxing under a shade tree, working like a dog up on a scalding hot roof pouring thermos hot nalgene water over your head, etc.) and then give a little explanation of the picture. That's it. It's that simple to enter.
THE WINNER: The winner shall be chosen on a completely subjective basis by yours truly. Extra credit will be given for: picture quality, humor, aesthetics and boats. The picture does not need to have a cigar in the frame to enter just an 'escape the heat' theme.
THE PRIZE: Why, free cigars of course! I'll send a nice package to whomever posts the winning picture.
posting pictures: For those of you unfamiliar with how to post pictures you'll need to create an online account at a picture hosting site. Most of these are free and easy to use, I like Flickr. Make sure to look at the size of the picture you are posting and choose one that is no wider than 790 pixels. On Flickr this is the medium size.
For more information on posting pictures go to this cigar thread. If you are still having difficulty give me a pm and I'll try to help.
So let's see some great summer photos! Feel free to use anything from the 4th of July weekend to present. I'll post a winner sometime in the near future, giving everyone ample opportunity to take some photos. So the next time you're planning to escape the heat don't forget to grab that camera and snap a few, you might just add to your humi in the process!

Nice pictures fellas, keep 'em coming!
Beaging the sweltering heat with 52 pounds of fresh wings on the grill while enjoying a Diesel Shorty!...and some Natty!

Thanks for posting for me Lakota72.
Have to say, it's some good picks in here BIGHARPOON, Skweekz, Lakota72, Jsnake, DennisKing, MTucelli. But Danielruas has my vote. Prop or not, still way cool....
Haha, thank you. The girl is my best friends wife, the other blonde with her back turned to the camera is my wife, we are both very lucky men.
I love the phrase "We are lucky men"..... Basically that means the women are very UNlucky... Good for you, but bad for them, your father-in-laws must either be very disappoint or you bribe them with nice cigars
Danielruas, you sir are a WINNER!!! This photo oozes with summer heat refreshment, comedy, originality and hot chicks. What else can you ask for??? I've cracked up many times looking at that shot. Very well done.
There were a TON of great photos submitted. The PBR shot with no explanation needed...fishing...grilling...relaxing...lakota burning himself with a hose and pooping out a grill...all were excellent contenders. Thank you all very much for entering my contest, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Danielruas, you have a pm.
And as a thank you, heres another picture of girls in bikinis that I was going to originally enter before I decided to jump in the pool. It's a month or so back hanging at little sebago lake in maine. My wife on the left, her friend on the right.
