the Shirts will be available for ~ 13 more hours. Good news for you all is that this will extend the CAT until then to get everyone a chance at the raffles. and to get more shirts.

i will draw when it ends tonight and post the results by tomorrow at the latest.

the classic hat with pulling post it notes will be the methods utilized.

Hope everyone had a successful independence day and enjoyed it fully.

Christopher Walken..?? Huh
115. Author: ypetrynaDate: Fri, 7/6/2018, 10:36AM EST
Some numbers for your thoughts ( disclaimer -- these are the reported numbers to me)

28 total donors - only 2 were possible non-cibidders ( good job guys!)

26 shirts purchased by 22 people.
14 monetary donations
6 packages sent
4 people signed up for NEW monthly pledges totalling $30 - so $360 pledged if extended for the year

now some over achievers :

a lot of people got shirts, sent packages/donations, some did all 3.

so my totals for all monetary donations are 1330 .
the TShirts state that 900 was raised


so at the very minimum, we raised over $2k for OpFTH - (i deducted the additional amount raised from the t-shirts to not overcount, i'd rather under estimate then over)

this is not counting any donated cigars, which with this group only makes the sky the limit.

Nice Job guys, i will quote schmitty from a email this morning of "overall a great success".

i was happy to run this again this year.

Just went through the prize offering from Don. I must say as always I’m humbled with the generosity of the guys on the forum and the continued education in the world of cigars I seem to get every time I receive a package. 10 never had and only 2 I didn’t have to look up.

Nomad fin de los mundos
Foundry Worm Hole 2014
1502 Black Gold
Cigar Federation Emilio Cavatina 2016
Cigar Federation the Collective
LFD La Nox
EzraZion Eminance
Don Francisco house blend
Castro’s Back Room house blend
Unbanded house blend from Delaware

That was the cherry on top. Box also included
Undercrown palio cutter
Zederkoff portable ash tray/cigar holder and 2 cigar travel case
Black ops folding knife
Berry wine from dragonfly
Trappist blackberry jam and blueberry preserve
Little lads herbal popcorn
Black sheep spherical ice molds
A little pot (actual very small glazed pot) since apparently it’s legal in Maine now
My wife’s favorite moose poop and deer dropping earrings that will be worn
And of course pure Maine maple syrup. My son already wants some pancakes to sample it.

All will surely be enjoyed and is much appreciated. Thanks for offering this and I’m glad we were able to support a good cause.

Well done Mandobro!
138. Author: MandobroDate: Wed, 7/11/2018, 5:43PM EST
You're welcome. The unbanded is from the Big Humidor.

SPECIAL OpFTH BOMB - Must get a T-shirt to be in the running.

This is a special prize put together by Schmitty which includes:
atleast 1 unopened box of cigars
OpFTH swag from Michigan
Bragging rights
Righteous feelings.


Humbled more than anything.

Thanks Schmitty/OpFTH for the great BOMB Bomb

Upon carefully opening the overstuffed LFRB I found an opFTH 'T' in XL as well as some cutters AND TWO boxes of Sindicato cigars!! Bomb

Evolucionado's and hex; wow thanks, really kind of you and all of you guys.

Very nice hit indeed.

I will let them rest for a couple of weeks and fire them up with my herf buddies on my birthday bbq in August!

Thanks again,

Waldo

Corey's LFR box arrived earlier today, but I just now got a chance to open it.
HOLY COW !

Joe Kem's BBQ Rub
Smokin' Temptations Championship BBQ Sauce
Hogwaller "Blue Heaven" Blueberry Gourmet BBQ Sauce
Lauri Jo's Mayhaw Pepper Jelly
Lauri Jo's Georgia Peach Salsa

Can't wait to try these delicacies !

Now, on to the cigars . . .

MUWAT Night Crawler
Diamond Crown
LFD Double Ligero
Four Kicks
Headley Grange
Laranja
AF Rosato ? (green at the bottom of the band)
La Zona Sunsets Sensational Sarsaparilla
Aquataine x2


CC's
Diplomaticos toro
Por Laranga Montecarlos
RyJ Short Churchill
R 1845 robbie
San Cristobal DE
Hoyo de Monterrey epicure


EXCELLENT prize, Mr Sellers.
It will put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces.
Thank you so much !

jes
