Boredom = Contest -- Winner is Vision!!!

in Trades, Passes and Bombs
I was bored today, so I decided to do a contest. I was looking at my humidor database and noticed that I have 142 different cigars listed. They are listed alphabetically by Brand, then Line, then Vitola. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to guess entries 1, 30, 80, 120, and 142. One point will be awarded for correctly guessing a brand, line, or vitola. If all three parts are correctly identified for a particular entry, you will be awarded 5 points (instead of 3). Sample answer: #80 - Oliva Serie V Lancero If #80 is some other lancero, but not an Oliva V, then this guess would get 1 point. If it was an Oliva V, but not the lancero, then it would get 2 points. If this guess is perfect, then it would get 5 points. Easy enough? So be sure to guess all three parts for each entry. For cigars that have special vitola names, I will accept the standard (generic) names for them. For example, the Ashton Magnum vitola is a 5x50, so robusto would be the generic name for the size. Contest runs until Monday night when I announce the winner. Good luck!!!! Couple hints: I picked entries that are rather normal, no weird cigars that you haven't heard of. 4 of the 5 entries are available here at ccom and the fifth is not an ISOM. Three of the entries were gifts from you guys. It should go without saying, but since the list is alphabetical, the first and last should be easier brands to guess.

    Yes, you answered the questions in the proper way. I can't say if they are right, however. You can also edit your answers at any point, but don't give more than one set of answers. You might want to read the hints at the end of the post and change one of your answers.

    Nice guesses Peter. Your fifth entry doesn't have a line name, however. I think the Zino Platinums have three different lines, crown, scepter, and z-class. I'm not saying it's right, just that it is missing a part of the answer.

    Hard, but doable. The first and last should be easier and just make educated guesses for the rest. You do get points for just getting the vitola, so who knows? Give it a try. You might be surprised how well you do.

    I dig it. A contest without a stated prize.

    1 = 5 Vegas Classic torpedo
    30 = Diesel Unlimited d6
    80. Oliva Serie G Cam toro
    120. San Lotano Maduro churchill
    142. Xikar HC Criollo robusto

    For extra credit, I guess the five correct guesses comprise the prize.

    Honey-do day today. The blizzard completely missed us, so I go to fight the squirrel wars. Squirrels nesting between the porch roof and ceiling. Then clean up the garage while smoking a couple cigars. Overhaul motorcycle rain kits. Install a wheel chair ramp. Dive into a programming project. Roll some cigars. No time for boredom here. Good luck with yours.

    I would send the 5 correct answers, but as I already stated, 3 of them were gifts from members here. So those are off limits. Don't worry, however, I will do a nice 5 pack of sticks that I believe the winner will enjoy.
