I rarely play the Lottery but with the prize so high, I decided to throw a few bucks at it.
My son asked me "What would you do with that much money?"

After the usual items, I thought it might be cool to try to get my own personal blend Cigar. Not to sell, but for personal consumption and buddies, etc.

Who would I ask? Would they even be willing to do it for me? What size(s) would I concentrate on, which tobaccos?

In my case, the obvious choice for tobacco and size would be Cuban Petit Corona, with a Lonsdale and Corona next. I love the smaller ring gauge Cubans. With the Embargo still in effect, I doubt that is a possibility.
If I had to pick blenders to develop a legal cigar I think I would go for those whose smaller ring cigars have impressed me.

I would concentrate on flavors typically experienced with Nicaraguan Tobaccos but would remain open.
Blenders whom I'd approach would be:

-Carlito Fuente (Has shown repeatedly that he can produce unique and tasty blends regardless of size)
-Abe Flores (I think he's a genius at making very flavorful cigars with enviable construction)
-Romay Endemaño (Raices Cubanas - Based on Original Illusione. Only time I've ever liked a whole line)
-Pepin Garcia (Based on The Tatuaje Noella and Angeles, but I think his best cigars are mostly Robustos)

And honorable mention to Frank Llaneza, who blended a lot of favorites in small formats.

What would you do?
 
1. Hire an attorney
2. Quit work
3. Give to family/friends
4. Buy land/build
5. Have AEV build me a Jeep Double Cab Brute
6. Buy cigars/beer

So many options.
 
I definitely wouldn't tell anyone that I won, would not want to be all over the media or have all these people or "friends" come out of the woodwork hitting me up for money. I would try so hard to live normally for a bit so that people don't realize it is me who won....then after a while I'd probably go buy crazy haha First thing I would buy is a house on a lot of property, I need my space. And guns, a shit load of guns, before the @ssholes try and ban them any further :D I'd help out my mom and then just live the dream :)
 
Best one I heard was the night before the drawing, call all your friends and ask to borrow a hundred bucks. That way, after you win, if they come to you and hit you up for money you can say "....well, you wouldn't loan me a hundred bucks, so what the heck...."....:D
 
I'm starting to get angry that no one has picked up on my Office Space reference.



Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.

Peter Gibbons: That’s it? If you had a million dollars, you’d do two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.

Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that’d double up on me do.

Peter Gibbons: Good point.

Lawrence: What about you, what would you do?

Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Well yeah.

Peter Gibbons: Nothing.

Lawrence: Nothing, huh?

Peter Gibbons: I’d relax, sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.

Lawrence: Well you don’t need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he’s broke, don’t do shit."
