Leaving for Florida tomorrow night! 2 1/2 weeks away from work! Driving down! How many hours will the trip from CT to Vero Beach take? And contest 2, how many cigars will I have on the way down? Winners will be announced Friday evening! A Forum Fiver for each! Shipping will take place in about 2 1/2 weeks! One guess per person. If no winners by Friday, will go another guess after that. Good luck!

    Enjoy the vacation! If you can find an excuse to get to Tampa be sure to stop by Arturo's shop. I hear Ybor City is amazing with a ton of small cigar shops.

    4 cigars each way...make them good ones!

    You good sir are looking at 23 hours and 6 cigars
  • GuitardedGuitarded Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am thinking you will not attempt the trip in one driving session, so 34 hours with a stay in a cheap motel, 5 cigars. 
    Have fun! Sounds like a great vacation! 
    Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.

    But your bladder's even older than mine, so we gotta factor that into.


    21hrs, 22min.   Zero cigars because Mrs. Buck is in the car.

    Thinking Charlie’s wife flew down. Only way he could get away with smoking cigars. Brilliant @cbuck!!
  • cbuckcbuck Posts: 8,697 ✭✭✭✭✭
    We have a winner! For the how many cigar portion! @Vulchor wins with a guess of 6! Addy up! The trip time is still open! If no exact winner by 9 pm Eastern time tonight, I will go with the closest without going over! Remember, shipping will not happen until I get back in2 1/2 weeks!

    She was with me! Otherwise it would have taken me twice as long! She splits the driving with me! I do about 70%, and sleep while she drives, a feat that took me many years to master! The cigars were all Muniemakers, gifted to me by a salesman. I smoked half, clipped off the cherry and relit next pit stop! I didn’t feel bad clipping Muniemakers! So 12 pitstops, including a 45 minute breakfast! I did have one Oliva G, just to remind me what I was missing!

    savin' the good ones, good, they deserve better than a pit stop.
