Gotcha... makes more sense now... Now I gotta figure out what 4 possible permutations I missed. Dammit, this is gonna frustrate the he77 out of me...

Edit: typo in formula.

I'd say this CSI has taken a bit of a turn.

H. Upmann - Habana too thick/font off
Punch - bad wrapper, no triple cap, band is off center and off up/down

BAM!! WINNER Damn Lummy nails it in the end! You guys made this one a little controversial... i had to stop and get my wife envolved for some advice. Back on page 3 or 4 ShawnGar won, but he forgot just one freakin explanation for one of the smokes.. AGGHHH!! i wanted to give it to him (...take it easy ) but all the other posters followed the rules so closesly i couldnt do it!. Then StogieFanatic won it seconds before Lummy, but he posted like 4 answers at once (that did in fact call them all fakes with a reason) so i couldnt do that either. SO lummy, you numbers crunching ompa ya won BOTH CSI: CLub Stogie contests! good on ya mate!! now just give me about 5 min. and ill post some 'other angles' of the real smokes


THANKS FOR PLAYING EVERYONE!!!

Stogiefanatic, when you get back from practice, drop me a PM with your addy, I'm gonna put together a "consolation prize" of sorts... No cremosas or tamborils, I SWEAR!

dude that comment just put my underware in the wash

Heres some fancy English camera tricks! (thanks for the pointers Lumpy )


Okay well like i said i played around with some angles and rotating the bands (though the Bolivar & ERDM band was solid on-there). see at pne point i was affriad this contest would be too short... (the last CSI:CS was won by Lummy as the 2nd post) so i thought id make it interesting. It turned into more of a 6 page novel but all in good fun!

the Bolivar- heres a shot of the triple cap on the Boli. the front did a good job at hiding that 3rd cap...


The RyJ- Shot of the triple cap on the RyJ. I had spun the bands around to the side showing what looked like only 2 caps...


and for the ERDM (the last real one) i dont have a sneaky angle- the roller decided to keep that particular stick with only 2 caps.

So i do promise all 3 fakes were fake. No cigar was ever substatuted for another cigar and the 3 real ones of course were real, all from the same retailer which is very reputable and a favorite of many Gorillas on this forum thanks for playing, im out of fakes so i dont know when CSI 3 will come out but i should think of something for a good contest again soon!

You think of it, and I'll think of a way to win it! Thanks for having these contests! I'd hit ya with more RG, but I've given out too much for today (plus, I think I've given it to ya too recently too) Someone take care of that for me, please?

nice win nick, I told you that your too good at these contests and need to be banned from the next one.
