This will be pretty simple. I was inspired by a thread from last week that I'm sure you'll remember.

Tonight I'm going to cap off my labor day/ birthday celebration with an LFD Celebration 1994 Rumba which is a pretty good sized toro.

Guess how long it takes me to nub it.

Guess using minutes and and seconds. ie: 93min 28sec.

I'll use a timer on my phone and take a screencap. Guessing will be open for 2 weeks unless someone gets it exact.

Closest answer after 2 weeks (9/14/14 @8pm) gets a 5er. An exact answer gets a 10er.

One guess per day. Good luck!

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Isn't it a Rumba?

My guess is you'll smoke it in 102 minutes and 25 seconds.

I presume it's one guess per Geek, right?


Thanks for the contest Mike, hope it's a good smoke, no matter how long it takes. LFDs usually don't disappoint

Thanks for the contest, and happy belated birthday!

110 minutes, 30 seconds

It's not belated yet. My birthday is actually on the 4th, but since we all had Labor day off, we celebrated a little early.

By the way, I'm finished with the smoke. So you can rest assured that it took less than 10 hours.
