Continuing on because BGZ didn't give all the facts ^^^^ see his excuse above.
Anyway, it would appear that Chewmaize is in the hopper. He stated he would pick up Namidio. We haven't heard back yet as to whether that has occurred.
BUT, if Chewmaize did in fact send the cigars to Manidio, then Chewmaize would then put up a list of cigars that interest him. Since Chewmaize didn't read the rules either and posted his list of wants BEFORE he picked up Manidio, some may not know of his list.
Chewmaize's list is:
Gonna throw my simple catalog wish list.
Punch Signature Robusto
Room 101 Daruma Sucio
Nub Cafe
Any Arturo Fuente
CAO Brazilia
Any Montecristo
H. Upmann The Banker
Or, to make it easier, any Sampler. Just curious what would be sent. Makes the experience that much more fun.
Now BLG, you look at Chewmaize's list. The idea behind the whole thing here is trying to satify Chewmaize's desires...in cigars...not his other desires, which will get you kicked off here by Da Queen, who monitors these forums and expecially Chewmaize's post.
The general rule is if you can match about 3 of what he is asking for, you jump in and send what he wants and you have. It is supposed to be between 5 and 7, but some of us, including myself don't always follow the rules, and may send an extra.
Now Chewmaize has made it easy for us. He gave us a list of specific cigars at the start, but then opened it up to most anything by acepting a sampler of anything.
If you want to get involved, say "I'LL DO CHEWMAIZE." You then PM Chewmaize and ask for his mailing address. How you package the cigars is up to you. I usually put in some type of humidifying thing. Not required. Once you have the package in the mail, you get to put up a list of your secret desires...again, keeping it to cigars. and to cigar that are in the $7-8'ish range. If we like your list, one of us will jump on you.
