One Year Anniversary Contest

So my one year anniversary on this awesome forum is on 10/06. To celebrate this and to thank the forum, I have put together a contest. I have taken close-up shots of ten cigar bands. The contest is to guess the name and blend of the cigar (e.g. 5 Vegas Miami) Whoever gets the most correct wins.

Some notes:

Contest ends midnight on 10/06
All cigars are non-ISOM
The cigars only feature a single band.

    Sweet idea, I think I got a fair number of them but I'm sure someone nailed them all. That old cigar box full of bands sure did come in handy.

    10 seems so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

    Ok, hints for #7 and #10:

    The name of #7's brand is named after it's creator.

    Cigar #10 was released this year.

    Hope that helps. It was hard thinking of helpful hints that won't give away the cigar outright.

    Alright, here's a couple more:

    A "cousin" of cigar #7 has a "flowery" reputation.

    Cigar #10 was released with a Habano or Sumatra wrapper.

    Hmm...cigar #3 is often discussed on this forum (i.e. numerous threads have been made, and they typically revolve around one aspect of this cigar).

    Want to make sure everyone knows this. You can edit your guesses until midnight tonight when the contest ends.

    What a great idea for a contest! I don't stand a chance as I chuck all my bands immediately and the old memory ain't what it used to be.

    Right on, that was a really good contest idea. Number 4 got me!!! I thought it looked like a vintage cigar, so I figured I had no chance...funny thing is that I tried one of those for the first time last month. Thanks for the contest.
