Came home yesterday evening after enjoying a beautiful day off from work to find my house ransacked. I'm sure other people here have experienced that before but after 20 years in this house, this is my first time. LUCKILY the women were out of town for the week as I would hate to think what that encounter could've been like. Of the many things stolen, one was my tablet used for Google Herfs, so I will have to be on the lookout on black friday for a replacement quick because they are not going to keep me from enjoying a stogie with friends! Lol

But F it, one of the stops on my way home happened to be a cigar shop and a liquor store so I made a night of it with friends as you can imagine. So to stay in the spirit of thanksgiving, a prize will be given away from my untouched cigars. Although they took all my tools including a Xikar with my name on it!! Hah!

So THE CONTEST will be simply to guess the exact number of ounces left in my 750ml Crown bottle this morning, to the closest HALF OUNCE. There were other bottles as well so it's really a crap shoot for you guys.

Have fun with it guys and enjoy the holidays everyone! And please no sympathy, everything is alright, I just needed to vent. Good Luck all!!

If you drank it by yourself 200ml. If it was with friends it was bone dry.

7 oz. left. Sorry to hear about the break in, and taking a man's cigar equipment, that's down right mean. Lousy bastiches.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

2.7 oz...and man, that sucks.  I'm glad everyone's ok.
Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

5.5 oz... Sorry to hear about the break-in, but as others have said, thankfully it's just "stuff" that's replaceable. Thanks for the contest!

Appreciate it guys. Ok so they left every last cabinet door in the house open, which is fine I guess. But you know what really offended me is that they left the freezer door and the car doors open too! I mean WTF?? My foods melted and my battery died, I mean c'mon, isn't it just instinctive to close fridges and cars??? lol Oh well.

Keep guessing guys, I'll leave this open one more day.

Saurabh, do you mean we can all go on guessing until one nails it?

 If so, my new guess is 10 1/2 ounces.

Oh and I hope the shameless fools who robbed your house get hit hard by Karma, there has to be some kind of justice, somewhere.
