Thank you everyone for your nominations and participation. Not only has it been great fun but I've learned about the cigars that members feel most passionately about.
Cabaiguan Juanto was tied up at work, so I had my deputy draw the winner, Cultured Hick. All of you who nominated the Londres were in the pool.
Knowing how favored Padrons are in this community, I anticpated the Londres getting the most votes. So, I've already got the Londres on-hand. I also got a box of Padron Executives, one of each of the Olivas series in the Churchill vito, an AF King B box and a bundle of JR Alternate to the Monte Cristo #2.
I plan to get a box of the runner-up Little Monsters as well. I was inspired by IronPeddlers story about his Uncle Nick who taught him to gift the first cigar out of every new box of cigars. It may be a couple of weeks,but when I get the Little Monsters, I'm going to gift the first one to one of you who nominated the series. You've convinced me that I should try them while I can.
Also, I'm sending Ironpeddler a smoke out of one of my new boxes in honor of his Uncle Nick. Per his suggestion, one of us will call the other, then we'll grab our favorite beverage, light up, and then swap stories about favorite uncles and other subjects.
And also, as a continuing tribute to Uncle Nick and IronPeddler, I plan to try every smoke you nominated. If I like it well enough to buy a box, I'll send the first smoke out of each box to the person who nominated it. It may take some time but I'll try them all.
Finally, I owe the group a bit of an apology. As many hours as I've spent on the forums here, I didn't notice until this morning that one is dedicated to contests. So, technically,I should have started this thread under the Contest forum. I apologize for the off-topic post and thank you for not bashing me about it.
Going forward, I may do this again but all nominations will go in to the pool, rather than pull from the most popularly nominated.
Note: I edited this thread to adjust the tally and to reflect that the winner was selected. On re-count, I found 7 rather than 8 votes for the Londres. It didn't affect the outcome and in any event, someone will get a Lil Monster.
Thanks again.
P.S. Any suggestions for the best way to ship a single cigar would be welcomed.

Not A Nice Person
Pink.
USPS Priority has a small media box that will protect it well. They're free! Put it in a Ziploc and stuff some paper or styro peanuts in there to keep it from rattling around. If you're really OCD about it, fold the Ziploc over and tape the whole thing down to a sheet of cardboard cut to fit.
Whatever you do, don't just stick it in an envelope! :laugh:

I received mine as well and they look fantastic. Thanks, Steve. I'll be sure to pass the kindness along. :thumbs:
Enjoy!
If you feel so moved, please consider smoking one in honor of Iron Peddler's Uncle Nick and sharing a couple of tasting notes with us. You might recall, his Uncle Nick taught him to always gift the first cigar out of a new box, in order to promote and demonstrate BOTL generosity and maybe just for the joy of sharing.
BTW, for me, gifting a cigar out of a box isn't a big deal. Mastering my own appetites and exercising the self-discipline required to gift the FIRST stick out of the box, before smoking one myself, is a lot tougher.
