Thanks for the contest Robby. It turned out to be a dumpster fire as we expected, but it all came together. Also good to see the 2 Enclave ranked very similar.
Wow, congratulations, what an epic unbanded cigar contest. We'll be telling our grandkids stories of this one to be passed down through the oral traditions of each of our clans. One hundred and sixty-five days in the making, fifteen men came forward and smoked sixty cigars, each given a detailed evaluation to determine the winner. This process was so long and arduous that the identity of one of the cigars is lost to time immemorial.
Congratulations Sherm, through this trial of time and pain the Enclave Salomons you sent bested all comers. You chose wisely. Tony M. who sent the same sticks ranked for steps below, bad luck there. Alas, I chose poorly, the Oliva V Special Figurados I picked to send came in last. I had high hopes, but not being a regular figurado smoker, I guess this misstep in judgement is to be expected. Duke who also sent the Oliva V Figurados fared better, ranking four above the floor.
Finally, thanks Robby for the time and effort putting this together. I know these past five and a half months have not been a walk in the park but you persevered and conquered the task. Your name will go down in the annals of time for the biggest, longest, and ugliest unbanded contest.

Alright I’ll spill for John. “His” cigars were Opus X Fuente Fuente Super Belicoso’s. I actively dislike these cigars, I think they’re bad, and I was waiting for a contest where it was a size that someone had in stock so I could enter, and this was my chance. I gave John the cigars, and had him enter for me, to avoid any shenanigans and because we thought it would be funny. Sadly, “he” didn’t lose, but at least they didn’t win either. I was really hoping to have the most expensive cigar also be the losing cigar because that would have been unbelievably hilarious, but sadly my losing streak is over. It looks like it’s just me who dislikes these cigars, but I stand by it.

You broke the rules. 10 dollar max. I think you're in last place.
Even with the penalty he's still in the middle of the pack.
But I'm guessing the cigars did so well because they touched @IndustMech 's humidor which we all agree has magic properties that counter act the @CalvinAndHobo effect.

I'm mostly referring to those who haven't told me and preferr via pm.
For obvious reasons Peter Doesn't count
I sent in the Eiroa First 20 Years salomon. You already have my scores.

I sent you whatever Frank says I sent you.

Same here but from Peter @Vision
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
@d_blades sent in Ave Maria Argentum Morning Star
I predict that mine came in near the bottom of the pack. Maybe neck-and-neck with Calvin.
I sent two… I didn’t know Peter was sending in some .. so Peter can place TWICE
The old guy might have been pulling Robby's leg...
Ditto

Congrats, Sherm!

Congrats, Sherm. Thanks for the contest, Robby. Now I'm going to have to order some enclave to try. Funny the Padron did so poorly.

@NorCalR1 I gotta ask, why did the burgundy and silver seem so different, one getting a 9 and the other a 7?
also @IndustMech tell THAT person to do that as what has been agreed. I have fulfilled my obligations. Thanks,
Well, you only posted the results 16 hours ago...
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
What does it matter if John spills the beans? The dog-rockets he sent in are of no consequence. Maybe.
