So you know those Cigars International monthly sweepstakes?

[Cardinal]

Every new month when you hop onto CI.com to browse their fine wares you get that little pop-up message asking for your email address to win some prize, right? And they have my email anyway, so I always fill that thing out. I haven't bought anything from them in almost a year and a half, but I got a shipping message from them a couple days ago.

So it turns out they really do send out those prizes to "Billy-Bob G. in Prairie Grove, AR" and "Timothy E. in Fort Worth, TX".

Also turns out that April's prize was pretty solid. All La Palina stuff, including a heavy plastic ashtray, a nice indoor crystal ashtray, a tshirt, a hat, and then the good stuff...

- A 5er of Red Label robustos
- A box of Mr. Sam coronas
- A box of El Diario Kill Bills
- A box of Classic robustos
- A box of Family Series Pashas

All total it's 85 cigars, and I bought a new cooler yesterday to house these and the other CC splits I have going now lol. Pretty nice little Christmas in May for me. I have a feeling a couple of these might make their way out in bombs too, who knows...

Holy shit that's awesome!

[Hardheaded]

Well crap. You can't beat that. I guess if I had to lose at least it's to another bum!

I enter whatever it is pretty much every month. Like you said, they already have my email and shipping info from buying from them.

[Cardinal]

Holy shit that's awesome!

Haha yeah that was my first reaction!

I've had one Classic and all the rest are new to me which makes it extra fun.

[Bernardini]

That's f&@"ing awesome! Congrats

[fataman]

Score! That looks awesome.

[Ilroy]

NICE!!! I guess I better jump on there more often and start entering the sweepstakes...

[Nature]

Sweet! That's awesome Tim!
Great to see a bum get a little good fortune.

[Emperor Zurg]

Congrats on the epic WIN!

(I never fill out sweepstakes. I have some kind of aversion to them. I don't plan to start either.)

[cheaphumidors]

That is awesome! I am always tempted to enter myself, but I think that kind of ruins the point of it :)

[Cool Breeze]

Hell yeah.

I guess I should stop deleting those emails. ;)
