Do the winners get random 5 packs (best choice i think) or is it going to be overly complicated with a draft of some sort?

Anyway I'd like to be in for 10, I will get them out tomorrow afternoon.

Brian ,I will send you the sticks after we know its a go.

Brian I played in one of these a couple years ago and we sent the list of sticks in ,the co-ordinate approved the sticks and a list was made.The different groups of sticks were then  picked by the winners and the person who's group they picked sent the cigars directly to them.The picking order was randomly selected.

These rules seemed to work well
Yep this is the one I'm talking about seem to work well

clami

I will jump in for at least 5 squares - will take 10 if needed.  I agree - with the short time window we can submit the list of cigars and mail directly to the winners.


Chrism305

Here are the sticks I pulled. I will post the particulars later tonight.

Sorry, that resize didn't go as planned. I can regroup if you think they are out of balance.

be like Chrism305! post a pic, and ship away!  as long as the squares get filled up, and the cigars are here when I get back, this can work. if not, no worries. I know its a bit rushed, but it can be done. it ain't life or death stuff. lets keep it open until next Saturday to fill the squares, and get the sticks out any chance you get. I plan on putting names into a hat and randomly assigning squares, and then using a deck of cards to assign numbers.

if cigars arrive while I'm gone, my wife is trained in proper cigar storage!

First, Brian can we update the square count?
How are the squares picked?  Are you going to post a Google Doc we can quickly fill in?
I am happy with the posting a pick or sending a list and have the winners pick by fiver.  I would suggest the overall winner pick two, then each quarter pick one, rinse and repeat.

Guess I am not smart enough, I should be a mind reader or decoder to know that your wife would not be going with you
