America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I'll be in this year.

I'll be your huckleberry

Guys if we can get at least 15 players then I'm going to do a top 5 payout with the 5th person at least keeping their ante!
It's been great for the past few years and I'd like to see it continue.

And as always I will be adding a xtra prize for the top 2 and a legit Dead ass last finish (actually making valid picks )

Damn .....is it me or has it been dead on the board here lately?

After the last few years I'm surprised we dont have more participation. I had another member offer up some awesome extra smokes for a grand prize.. We'll see how it goes

Gotcha Whizz..... Thanks

Z is a TURD....can't get him to do chit ........ he must be too busy trying to lure camping victims in!

I'm really questioning this trip at times

At first I was a little hesitant........then I firmed up and just let it happen

I've got two noobs wanting to play and I told them they'll have to send to me to hold the ante.

I'm going to post their ante list on here anonymously and if you guys have any imput to changes Just speak up.....if not then I'm gonna let it ride.... I know the quality of the cigars we send so don't hesitate to say something guys!

Thanks
Chris

Thanks Al, That's the type of response I was looking for and I wanted it to come from the group of players and not just me.
I want new guys to play as well and we've all been there when we haven't had a great stash...but going to a local B&M shpo and picking up a few premiums is pretty easy.

I would say think Don Pepin Garcia, My Father, Tatuaje, Liga Privada T52 or No. 9's, Illusione, Ashton , Padron, .......... stuff like that

I wanted to say this yesterday but I knew Al would come along and be the azzhole.

Thanks Al............you took a load off my shoulders.

agreed.... I was going to put Anejos, Hemi's and Don Carlos... no lower Fuentes

Thanks for the input gentlemen I just switched back over to 3rd shift so I'll be in and out but I'll set up the pick group in the next few days so we can get everything rolling.

I'm also working things out with the new guys and I'll let you know when it's done.

David,
I've got 1 noob in line to send me his ante so we should have at least 8 and if we don't get more than 10 I'm probably gonna do a winner take all this year...... I've lowered the cost of the sticks needed to play so more might be interested but some people still don't understand why they can't put up their 10 smokes worth $50- $70 (somewhat generous on cost there) when we're putting up $100.+ In our ante..... it's not that hard to got to the shop and buy a few good premium smokes

Chris

I sent my ante to you.

9505 5124 6237 8234 3035 92

I'm in

Got you 2 in fellas!

If we can get one more we ca do the same payout as last season or we can vote on a different scale, I personally like this bc it gets more winners in the end and the other 2 are getting a good bit.


1. Keep ante + win 5 ante

2. Keep ante + win 2 ante

3. Keep Ante + win 1 ante

Got it today Lance... You're in and good...when I set up the group I'll PM you the info along with the other guys.

Wanna give a quick update and shout out to a very generous BOTL.

1st off I wanna thank everyone that keeps this contest going every season......Over the past few years I've not been very active on the board (except for this contest) due to life in general ,trying more here lately though because I do enjoy the banter between most of ya'll! Between a full time, part time job and family life it doesn't leave much for anything else so I sincerely thank you guys!

This makes the 3rd year that I've been running it so to speak and I've tried changing a few things about it to get more participants involved (it's honestly like pulling teeth at times) with lowering the "High price and Aged cigars" ante stipulation and adding the prizes I provide, It has encouraged more new guys to play but not near as many as I would like, bc the more we have playing the more interesting it becomes week to week.

With all that being said, if you guys have and recommendations or any input on what ya'll would like to see change or improved, please don't hesitate to PM me so we can discuss it!

I'm running out of ideas on what prizes to personalize for the winners so if you have any request on what you would like to possibly see, please let me know ...it's almost like I'm getting writer's block lol

1 final but absolutely not last subject , Please let Whizzy1(Kevin) have a round of thanks for his amazing generosity!
I got a package with his ante (which is worth playing for by itself), 6 incredible sticks for me (which I told him not to send)
, and to the winner goes an additional 14 count sealed box of ceegars! I'm not putting what the box is but rest assured I would be happy to win it lol!

Kevin you are an absolute class act brother, Thanks and Cheers!

Thanks for hosting again and glad everything landed ok.

10 is a decent number.

There is still time to add a few!

KGB

Thanks to the game **** for hosting this and whizzy for adding to the pot . I really enjoy it I am in another pool where it's 100 bucks buy in for the year and it uses point spreads which really is hard to pick that might be something to consider cause the leader is always changing .

No it's just straight picks...... there's a few ppl that don't care for spreads ,so I keep it simple.
There are a ton of games though....the 1st week is 34 games, I made most of my picks last night.

Even without the spread the last few seasons came down to a game or 2
