Mixture No. 79 Review Contest

[tmoran]

I've noticed quite a few new pipers lately. I've also noticed recent murmurings and musings about this notorious tobacco. I have to say, I have never tried it either, so I have been looking for an excuse to give it a go. Why not do a contest?

Some of you may remember my Ennerdale review contest from the old site. This one will work basically the same way. Sign up in this thread and PM your address. I will mail out samples to all participants. Participants will post a review in the review thread I create. Reviews will be judged on whatever criteria I feel like at the moment. Judging will be extremely subjective, but gifs, pictures, and the ability to make me laugh always score well . Winners will be handsomely rewarded for their bravery and poor judgment.

There are no restrictions to registration. FOG's and new Bums are all welcome here. If you are brand new to piping, let me know and I might even throw in a MM smoke-able second to get you started. There is no limit on the number of participants. I'll leave registration open until Friday of next week, 5/29. Once registration is closed, I will order the baccy and send out the samples. As much as I would love to expedite the process and order ahead of time, I don't want to get stuck with a tub of this stuff if only a few people sign up. Reviews should be posted in a relatively timely manner. I'm not going to put a firm date on it yet, but if someone disappears for a long time, I reserve the right to move ahead with the judging.

Awesome! If you only get a handful, Tim, you can buy it by the ounce from 4Noggins and not get stuck with a bunch left over.

Winner receives a 10 year supply of Mixture 79!
(That would be 1 pouch - to be stored in the glovebox of their car until discarded 10 years later)

Thanks for that, Tobias. Just to clear up any possible confusion, I didn't mean to imply that I would cancel the contest if there wasn't enough participation. I'm just trying to keep leftovers to a minimum

The g stands for Glutton-for-punishment (it's an old family name)

and I see @Emperor Zurg isn't concerned with resale value of his cars.

Are the terms "urinal cake" and "perfume counter nightmare" allowed, or is that plagiarism? Lmao...
