| The top 5 members with the most reviews between 12/24/2007, today, at 6:30pm EST and Friday 12/28/2007 at 6:30pm EST will be sent a free Cigar International Legends Yellow - Pepin Garcia cigar. The only catch is that a review is to be posted after you enjoy your prize to our Cigar Geeks cigar review section. Ties and conflicts will be decided by me, the prize donor. Everyone is eligable and Larry has decided to sit this one out and will not be considered as a contender, which is probably good news to other participants.
This cigar may be the best of the Legends series. If events like this work out we may enjoy the rich resource of our review library to a fuller extent.
Thanks to Paul for allowing this experiment here.
Good luck to all!

| Cool contest Rack! Thanks for setting this up. My problem is I was in the habit of bidding on boxes and don't have anything I haven't already reviewed. This will inspire me to head to my B&M.

| No problem - Maybe you could re-review any of the smokes that you now appreciate more or less than when you originally reviewed them. Maybe like a friendship you have discovered something you have not shared before as your relationship with a particular stick has aged. I hope this is the case and more experienced smokers are not at a deficit. However, by all means, get to the B&M.
Seasons Greetings

We can edit our reviews, but not post two for the exact same cigar. It would be interesting to post a second review alongside the first, and maybe change the rating a notch. |

That would be cool, maybe note on the edited review the addition of the most recent change one has detected. Would this show on the recent review portion of the home page or how could I track an edited review to add new information for contest purposes?

I have noted you are up to three. A terriffic effort considering. I guess security is pretty tight around your compound, eh?

Well, I might have an unfair advantage in all off contest hoopala. I am visiting my cigar smoking brother in law this weekend and I should huff down quite a few choice smokes. Good luck to all.

I usually don't like surprises, since people seldom know what you really want, but even lousy cigars count as review credit. |

| Larry, you must have been quite the charmer since it sounds like your wife is none too happy with your resumption of smoking. I hope she picked out some great sticks for you to enjoy and to share the experience with us. |

If I gave you the impression that she ever bought me a cigar, I apologize. |

I certainly agree! This is a very cool contest! I just rated a second stick, so hopefully that'll put me in a decent position to acquire one of these lovely smokes. Thanks for running this contest! |
