Okay, it has been a while since we had a contest...so I will step up to the plate. Here is the deal. I have a cigar sitting in front of me. It is one of my favorites, not exactly mainstream, but I enjoy them none-the-less. Everyone gets two guesses per day. I will attempt to give at least one clue per day. To win, you must give the brand, name and size, i.e. "5 Vegas - Series A - Artisan". The prize will be a nice, colorful coffee table book. The World Encyclopedia of Cigars, by Julian Holland with Consultant Neil Millington. It is a non-Cuban cigar! Good luck.

No luck so far, but great list of guesses. I love anything made by Padron and Joya de Nicaragua Celebracion can be found in my humidor. I haven't tried a Camacho Corojo Monarca yet, but it is on my list of must tries. I love the Cusano C10 Corona, but haven't got a hold of a Robusto yet. This could be a tough guess until I put out a couple more clues. To be fair to those who have used their two guesses, I will post the next clue tomorrow. What do you all want for the next clue...a pic of the cigar with the band obscured or the country of origin?

I do love those Perdomo's! I love La Gloria Cubana's also... but I haven't got my hands on one of those figurados yet. The clue for Sunday is...
It is a Nicaraguan puro with a criollo wrapper. (and it does indeed have a band hidden under the "?")

Nice call Axe! I really thought I was going to have to break out one more clue. Sorry RD, close but no cigar. Axe, pm you info and I'll get this right out. If you don't like Cupido Criollo Dobles, let me know and I'll ship an alternative.
