Karma Contest

Contest time! Since I won the contest Tanger had, I figured it would only be fitting if I had my own. So, here's the deal. There are 3 categories below. You're job is to guess what my favorites are from the list provided.

Now, here is where it gets tricky. There are 2 rules.

First - You get a total of 4 guesses. You can spread them out and use one guess for each of the categories, or you can do some combination - say 3 guesses for Category A, and one guess for Category B.

Second - there will be a sub-group for each item in each category as well. If you want to guess the favorite from the sub-group, it will use up one of your guesses as well.

When you place a guess, please indicate the category, the item number, and (if you're going for it) the sub-group letter.

Judging - each category will have one winner. The winner for a category will be the first one who guesses both my favorite item from the category, and my favorite item from the sub-group. If no one guesses both, then the winner will be the first person to guess my favorite item from just the main category list.

Prize - the winner of each category will receive 5 cigars. If the winner also correctly picked the sub-group item, then a 6th, special cigar will included as well.

Now for the categories:
