MCS's 1st Annual Noob Adoption & Cigar of the Month Club

[Major Captain Silly]

Here's how it works:

I want to adopt a cigar noob and be their cigar of the month club for a year. I'll send the chosen noob 5 cigars each month. There will be a mix of cigars I love and cigars I like and cigars I don't like each month. I can guarantee it will be a better selection than most cigar of the month clubs! If this goes well, I'll adopt a new noob each year.

I'll keep the rules & judging simple:

1. Must be a cigar smoker for less than 1 year.

2. Must be willing to post a review of 1-2 of the cigars I send on a semi-regular basis. If you love it or hate it, put something in the review section. I won't be enforcing this with an iron hand. You're on your honor here.

3. If you get banned from Club Stogie, the cigars get banned too!

4. Must be nice.

5. Send some cigars to the troops via Club Stogie channels sometime during the year.

Judging:

If you want to be considered, please just post here in the thread. I'll put all the names in a hat on this Sunday night and choose my first victim that way. If any of the group's elders/mods want to nominate someone, they can post the name here as well. Everybody is on their honor and I won't be doing any police checks or anything.

I consider this more of a selection/announcement than a contest but if the mods want to move this to the contest category, I'm fine with that.

Thanks,

MCS

I just want to say, you ROCK! Not putting my name in, I've been smoking for well over a year (although I'm understanding the whole thing better from being involved here!) but this is a great idea. This is another thing that makes this place awesome!

Ya' know ... This is one of the best idea's I've seen in a while ...
I might consider doing this myself once I get settled in .
I like the fact that it helps a real noob out a bit, and it gets a Cigars for the Troops Donation ... I like it ... I like it

My hand made Ritter Cowboy hat's off to you !

Great idea!!!

I'll bite!

I've been smoking cigars (seriously) for about 2months now. Technically i had 2 cigars in mexico 2 years ago when i knew nothing about them and to be honest they were probably fakes looking back on it. Some corner shop at a huge tourist trap.

I love writing up reviews about smokes i've had so that would be no problem, i would end up writing a review for every cigar sent probably.

I am already in for 1bundle to donate for the troops and would easily add to that.

I know i won't get banned, i love this place to much and i love everyone on this board to "hate" anyone.

If i'm nice, well thats everyones personal opinion, i hope people think i'm nice on this board.

Lets get this guy some RG for a unbeatable deal! i mean... jeez what a guy/brother huh?

MCS - great idea. It;s gorillas like you who set the bar high for noobs like me. I don't qualify, but I love the whole spirit of giving back.

Yep, he'd be a good candidate ... He took part in my "Trade for the Troops"
He's a newb for sure ...and a really nice one at that!

Well done Sir, this is the true spirit of Club Stogie (imho as it was meant to be). I am still amazed at the generosity from its members.

Well, i'll make it 2 Michigan brothers as the first two entrants.

I've been smoking cigars since the last Detroit MGM herf, before then i have had one here or there given to me while golfing, but i started to actually smoke and buy them after the MGM herf, which is coincidentally when i joined the jungle. I would gladly do reviews of the cigars received, although my tastes are not yet refined enough to be able to distinguish exact flavors, so they will be very newb reviews. Banned should be no problem, as i have easily made friends that i plan on keeping here in the jungle. Definetely down for the Troops donation, i sent a buttload of music for the 68Trishields last batch, and look forward to accumulating enough smokes to contribute to the smoky donation to the middle east. I have planned a few small herfs in the area, mainly impromptu herfs, and the first Detroit "Shoot-n-Herf" this winter(Duh, outdoors in the michigan winter, but hey we had to smoke.) And i currently am setting up the Feb.2nd Detroit herf. My first big one, and wow is there alot to setip and think about, but i do it for the fun, and the friends that are made and kept during the whole experience. It would truly be an honor to be in the "MCS's 1st Annual Noob Adoption & Cigar of the Month Club"

Very generous gesture BTW MCS!!
