Good morning, Cigar Pass!

bigwhiteash was kind enough to make a Bingo card that pertains to CP, so, let's find some winners.

gallery_4289_250_8302.jpg


The rules are fairly simple:
  • Must be a member who has posted an intro as of the time stamp on this post.
  • No previous unforgiven asshattery
  • Standard Bingo rules apply - 5 across, 5 down, or 5 diagonal wins
  • First to fill the card also wins

So, how exactly do you win? Each box has a pretty common saying or theme from cigar pass. Your job is to find an example of it. Now, it would be no fun if we left it at that... it would just be a race to see who could search the fastest.

Since the contest starts now, so does the searching. In order for you to mark off a box, the post that phrase is said in has to have a time stamp AFTER the time stamped on the top of this post. And to keep everything on the up-and-up, you cannot use a post that you, the entrant, has made. Let's not just post this stuff for the sake of finishing the contest up. You also cannot use the same post to fill 2 spots. If you have 5 in a row, you must find 5 different posts.

In order to show you have won, you have to post your results here, in this format: (let's assume you found the B-line)

B1 - Cello On [link to post]
B2 - ISO Cuban Davidoff [link to post]
et cetera.

A slight change has been made to the card: I've kept only the middle square free, like a regular bingo card.

Any questions?

Let the games begin!
 
Dude, too easy! I'll sit back and watch. My guess is this gets done in less than 10 minutes. :thumbs:
 
All those "in between" better hope for Pittsburgh to win. Detroit winning is in rows that you'll never be able to win. :)
 
Man! I am really offended by this post. I was 'in between' at certain points in my life, and it is insensitive for you to bring that up without considering that people who have suffered being 'in between' would read this and get upset.

Not cool.
 
I had a question from a poster about whether or not he qualifies as a newbie for the "newbies only" square. It's not whether or not you're a newbie, or in between, or a FOG (even though that space is free), it's finding a post that says newbies only. I think a contest just popped up that's along those lines....

This one's borderline, but the guy didn't post anything for 4 months, then posts a sale. That should have been a red flag right there that would scream, "send your end first."

And of course anyone could have spoken up and given him the, "You're not really an active member" line.

Does anyone in the usual crew that gets upset at Gary or myself for calling out non-active members in the trading room want to speak up?

first of all, my name's emmett and I'm a newbie here, but I've been reading the forums a bit and this seems like a great place to learn and meet other cigar fanatics. I hope to eventually be part of a pass, but all things in due time.

anyway, here's my situation:

I'm pretty new to the world of cigar smoking (6 or 7 months), and in my inexperienced ignorance early on, I made the all-too-common mistake of purchasing a box of cohiba esplendidos (or what I thought was a box of cohiba esplendidos)...ok ok, everybody get their sighs of annoyance and giggles out of their systems...
since I live in the US, and purchased the box from somebody also in the US, I now know that that is already a red flag, but now that I've done a bit of research on authenticity vs. counterfeiting, I've got a pretty good idea of what to look for...and I've got to say, if this box (and/or cigars) isn't authentic, then the counterfeiters deserve an award for their effort. everything seems to check out; seals, stamps, hologram sticker, serial numbers etc. etc.. the cigars look and smell good and have consistant color and shape with what looks like good construction, nice triple-caps and such. but since I've never smoked (or even seen) an esplendido, I wouldn't ever know for sure if these are real or not.
I haven't smoked any of the cigars from this box either, so I don't have an opinion on them yet, myself. I guess I've wanted to wait 'til I know what it is I'm smoking. even if they are good, I'd still love to know whether I'm smoking a real esplendido or not.

here's what I'd like to do:

I want to send one cigar out of this box to two different people who consider themselves experts of esplendido authenticity (experts with actual experience in smoking esplendidos, not just others like me who have done tireless research online, and know how to spot an obvious fake). I'll send photos of the box, and anything else required to make a determination on authenticity. all I ask is that the experts check out the cigar and any photos they request, and let me know their opinions.

all I can say is that I wouldn't waste anyone's time if there were something about the box or it's contents that indicated obvious counterfeiting. I'm asking this favor because I feel that it deserves further scrutiny by the real experts- namely, the ultimate test of seeing, smelling & smoking the cigars themselves.

please, I don't need a "talking to" about how dumb I was to buy them in the first place. I've not since even bothered with trying to obtain anything cuban. for that I'll wait 'til either the embargo is lifted, or I make a trip to havana, myself.

so then, feel free to respond here if you're an expert with experience on authentic esplendidos, and you're sure that you can give me a definitive assessment.
part of the reason that I'd like poeple to respond here, as opposed to e-mailing me directly, is that I don't really know people here yet, and I wouldn't know if some other newbie was e-mailing me saying that they're an expert (when they're not). on this forum, I can sorta rely on others to vouch for the expertise of those who will help me.

my regular ISP's mail server has been down for a week (and what an absolute nightmare that's been!), so until that is fixed, those who wish to e-mail me directly can do so at- emmett09@yahoo.com

thanks for reading, and thanks in advance to those who will help me on this.

I'm glad to have found the CP community, and I'm sure I'll have numerous further questions to ask of the experts here.

have a good one.

emmett.

Congrats to the Red Wings! Detroit is definitely Hockeytown once again. Not many weak spots on that team, that's for sure.

Congrats also to the Penguins, who will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come (if they can keep the core of their team intact). For your sake, I hope your ownership doesn't let your superstars escape like the mental giants in Buffalo did last year.

Guess I needed to read the part about linking the posts huh? :rolleyes:
