A forum for cigar lovers.
Goldy:Registered. I have got to say I am pretty pumped to win a bunch of 5 packs! Let the smack talk begin.
sightunseen: Goldy:Registered. I have got to say I am pretty pumped to win a bunch of 5 packs! Let the smack talk begin. Me too. For some odd reason, I think this is better than playing for money.
Hayblet:May the Beard's shade provide you with a hiding spot.
sightunseen:I know this may seem a little early, but an idea occurred to me that would combine cigars and college basketball. Instead of chipping cash into a pool, how about we chip in cigars? Participants can initially send the cigars to a single individual to hold in trust until the winner is determined. To keep track of the brackets, we can probably use yahoo sports. Thoughts? Suggestions? Update: Alright, guys, I just created our Yahoo group for the bracket. I will be PM'ing participants the sign in info. You'll need to set up a Yahoo account to play, so please take a moment if you don't already have an account. When you join, the Group ID # is 4798 To be part of this games, please be on the Good Trader List. So far, here are the people that will be participating: Sightunseen Lilwing88. Lilwing's father-in-law will also be creating an account and joining. He's not on the Good Trader's List but Lilwing is vouching for him. ejenne87 Goldy Sandman1am kingjk729 Vulchor Matt Marvel bandyt09 Quick Rules "Buy-in" of five sticks. Sticks should be handmade premiums only. I know it's tempting to throw in some Swishers or White Owls. Winner will be determined by the scoring on Yahoo Sports. Now the good part, what the winners will get: There will be 1st and 2nd prizes only. Based on the current list of 9 participants, 1st place winner will have 5 5-packs sent to him and 2nd place will have 2 5-packs. Senders will be determined by the whoever is after the winner on the above list. For example, if I won (highly unlikely), then the next 5 people after me will send me their 5-packs. 2nd place winners are exempt from sending. So for example, if I was 1st place and Lilwing comes in second, then the 5 people after lilwing will be sending me 5-packs and lilwing will receive a 5-pack from Vulchor and Matt Marvel. I think I got this right. Vulchor, if I am wrong, please let us know. Note: Depending on the final number of participants, the number of 5-packs for 1st and 2nd place may change. Selection begins on 03/14 Brackets lock on 03/18. Please finalize your brackets before 03/18. When registering your bracket, please use your Ccom handle as your name. I think I've covered everything. Please let me know if you have questions or other suggestions.
bandyt09:That's what happens when dad "worked" for the post office for 40+ years.......... I know no other way. Hopefully you remembered that the 2 pack was for you and the 5 pack was for the game. LOL
Choba: Hey Tony, I know you've been asking me to join in on this, though I'm sorry to admit, I'm not much of a NCAA fan; no TV and little media influence in my life. You know how weird I am. Though I know this is your lil baby so I'm willing to help and throw in some sticks to help with participation. Feel free to market the sticks out. Best. Choba. BTW, do I send these to Goldy or just bring it on Saturday?
