Well I see that I am only a couple of posts away from my 1000th.
So, just for something to do, I am going to think about a trivia question or something and run a small contest. The winner will get bags and bags of labels I have removed from the sticks I have smoked.
No?
$hit, I thought I figured out a way to get rid of those things... I just can't throw them out !!
Seriously thou I will put together a nice package for the winner which may include a "hard to find" stick or two in it.
I can say for sure it will include a CAO America Anthem in the Coffin Box, and a couple of other forum fav's.
Now all I have to do is come up with something for a question. Hmmm.

Too inticing ...now I'm hovering over my keyboard ...:)
So instead I am thinking I will do something a little different for this one.
I am interested in what other BOTL here like to smoke as "everyday" smokes. So... for this little contest anyone who wishes to play will have to list five of there everyday smokes and just to keep things interesting the five selections can NOT exceed $25 in price.
that way the sticks will really be everyday smokes and not just a list of the usual high priced Fuente's and Graycliff's and such.
Also because I purchase my sticks exclusively from C.Com all listed sticks must be something that I can purchase from them.
that way I may (Very likely, I am a ****) purchase this "sampler" from C.com to enjoy myself.
I should warn you here that I am looking for sticks which I am not familliar with, so Padilla's are out. I know their lines very well.
I am hoping to find some new selections, not re-visit some old favorites.
The winner will be the one who's selections seem the most appealing to me, and I will send out a little package with a half dozen or so sticks and at least a CAO AMERICA ANTHEM in the coffin box will be included. I will also include one of the new RP Dos Cappos barberpole, and a very tasty (for a Gurkha) Gurkha Barberpole.
The others will remain secret for now.
So that's it... my 1000th post contest. Hope it isn't as lame as some of the questions I thought of asking LMAO.
1-La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero-Sumatra-Chiselito-- $6.00
2-Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet Robusto-- $5.00
3-La Vieja Habana-The Early Years- Wavelle Deluxe -- $5.00
4-Cusano 59 Rare Cameroon Robusto -- $4.93
5-La Herencia Cubana Robusto -- $ 4.00
All good quality smokes coming in at a total of $ 24.93
Cusano P1 Robusto, $2.86
CAO Black Storm, $5.60
Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso, $4.55
5 Vegas A Archetype, $4.50
La Aroma de Cuba Robusto, $5.35
Total: $22.86
I'd go with these....
Padron 3000............................$4.92 (undoubtedly one of Jozer's picks too)
Oliva G Maduro Belicoso..............$4.55 (can't steer away from them)
Punch Rare Corojo Rothschild......$4.20 (they keep getting better and better)
Camacho Coyolar Puro Rothschild.$5.35 (Great cigar with all tobacco from the same farm)
Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles.........$5.50 (worth the wait, they are currently on order for good reason)
Grand total.............................$24.52
I can't think of 5 better cigars for under $25
Flor de Oliva churchill ---------------------------------- $2.50 (cheap, but good)
Oliva Serie G cameroon double robusto --------- $5.10
Oliva Serie V belicosa ---------------------------------- $5.90
Perdomo lot 23 toro ---------------------------------- $5.50
Total ------------------------------------------------------- $25 (<----how's that for hitting the mark??)
I guess I should do a tiny adjustment here looking at some of the entries.
I will change the $5 per stick rule to say that no one stick can exceed $7 but the total must stay the same $25. This is due to several entries being above the $5 mark and when checking a little last night I found it would be pretty hard to put together 5 under $5 each without the possibility of there being at least one Dog Rocket in there.
The only other rule is that this contest will close for entries on Friday of next week.
Thanks for playin' guys.
RP Decade Torpedo - $11 MSRP - $5.50 (call CCOM)

Nub CT 460 - MSRP $5.80 - $5 max (Call Ccom)
Ive ordered all above at the called upon prices.
So total is $24.50
Boy are you pushin' it Four.
While we all get deals when ordering from C.Com in the spirit of the game I was reffering to listed prices not the individual deals we each get. Also the Decade is NOT a listed stick.
Nice list... but it can't be the winner, so if you want to try again go for it.
Actually, there should be no problem with putting in more the one list. If anyone wanted to.

Nica Libre Principe - $5.00
Cabaiguan Petite Cabaiguan - $3.50

Grand total of $24.65 and a nice selection of sticks if I do say so myself. Or you could go drop $24.00 on a big Opus in a B&M then buy ya 4 lil Swisher Sweets to total out around $25 for 5 cigars! haha
