[sir-smokes-a-lot]

well, 1,2,3, 6,7,8 appear to be right from everyone so far, but some might want to re-check their answers for 4,5.

remember, need all correct to be eligable,

now if you'll excuse me, must go lick my wounds from a rescent close beating at a contest here. - congrats to wildcard tho for the win.


BONUS:
if you get at least 2 of these 3, will throw in an extra stick. :thumbs:

1. What was the significance of the C1492 pass? what was so cool about it?
(hint: it may not be on this board as I also am on CigarDivan, CigarWeekly and one or two more...)

2. What are the dimentions of the Diplomatic Trinidads? (hint, not the same as the current run Trinidads.)

3. each ISOM vitola has a separate number to it. complete this:

Numbers beginning with:

4,5, or 6 are always ______

2 are always _______

7 are _______

 

[sir-smokes-a-lot]

sniff, sniff, only one guy has all right so far?

hint, everyone has everything right except for #5, only one right for this one so far (so you can really just cut and paste most of the ans. and look up one of them, P.S. it can be found in MRN's book.)



I promise mine [prize] will be cooler than Moki's. I will send more than twice the cigars! (so at least 4).
There will be at least 2 ISOMs, and one will be aged from 1998.
