We ran two contests this week and according to the comments you guys liked it! I’m sure you are waiting for the winners’ names, and the Randomizer just gave me those:
Congrats to the winners! I will e-mail you tonight, so make sure the e-mail doesn’t end up in the spam folder :) As usual, stay tuned for more contests!
As I stated in my best cigar books post, proceeds from sale of books would be given back to one lucky reader in the form of a gift certificate. Here is the first one, for the month of December. It is a gift card for $12.00 that can be redeemed on Amazon.com (doesn’t work on .co.uk or .fr).
Just leave a comment on this post to be entered in the draw. The winner will be announced on Friday, along with the winner of the 10-pack sampler (you still have time to enter that contest, too)!
A couple of months ago we introduced Cigar Stash, a service that lets you compare prices on cigars across different vendors with some additional perks like a page with consolidated daily cigar deals.
We’ve got a couple of minor updates for the site – first of all, the cigar reviews page now includes a search engine that lets you find reviews of a particular stick on several blogs. It’s better than Google as it excludes all the retailers and junk pages. If you don’t see your blog in the results, let us know.
Furthermore, CigarStash.com now has a newsletter, which will be released several times a month (4 times max) and will contain latest cigar news, sweet deals, site updates, etc.
Now the part you are most interested in, the giveaway. I recently won a contest run by Drew Estate. The prize is a sweet 10-pack that contains cigars from Davidoff, Avo and La Aurora, among others. Unfortunately for me and luckily for you, they can’t ship it outside the United States, so now you also have a chance to win it. Just subscribe to the CigarStash.com newsletter and leave a comment on this post to be entered in the draw. Obviously, you must be of legal smoking age and based in the United States to qualify.
Good luck! The winner will be announced next Friday. By the way, we’ve got another giveaway lined up for the next week, so make sure you are following our updates!
If you have been paying attention to the latest updates, you didn’t miss the secret link and entered the contest. One lucky reader just won a 10-ct Cigar Caddy, and the winner is… Robert! Congrats, by the time this is posted your package must already be on its way.
Didn’t win this time? Remember, we’ve got another 5 prizes to give away. So, if you’re not a subscriber yet, head over to this page and read more about the contest! And don’t forget to check out CheapHumidors.com who are generously sponsoring this contest.
Long ashes!
One week ago I posted about a very special whisky tasting event called The Single Malt & Scotch Whisky Extravaganza, during which one can taste over 100 different whiskies (sounds crazy, right?) and enjoy a cigar afterwards. We had 2 tickets to the event to be given away to one lucky commenter, and the winner is armayor. Congrats! An e-mail has been sent to you regarding your prize. Big thanks to The Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America and Gabby Shayne for making it possible. Remember, CigarInspector.com readers get a $15 discount on their ticket. More details here.
I promised you a lot of contests in 2010, and here is the first one. Its goal is to thank regular readers and visitors by offering them a chance to win quality cigar accessories every month. This contest is sponsored by our good friends at CheapHumidors.com, sellers of cigar swag at affordable prices.
The complete rules of the new contest as well as the list of prizes are available on the contest page here.
Thanks to everyone for participating in our new year giveaway.
The winner is Richard, who chose a Zippo Blu lighter. The item has already been ordered from Amazon, he should receive the prize shortly.
Stay tuned for more contests in 2010!
You probably noticed that there were less contests than usual last few months. Well, let’s remedy to this situation by launching a giveaway! The winner of the giveaway will be able to choose between 3 different cigar accessories that I carefully selected. Those accessories are: the Capri 50 humidor, the Zippo Blu cigar lighter and the Lotus Spectre Switchblade Cigar Cutter.
This will be my personal gift to one of our loyal readers, as without you this site would not exist. You begin asking yourself how to enter, and this is how – on the New Year’s eve, I will publish a regular “Happy New Year!” post which will contain a secret link, only visible to those subscribed to the site updates through RSS or e-mail. After clicking on this link, you will be invited to leave your e-mail address – and that’s it (please note that I only need your e-mail to contact you in case you win, you won’t receive any unsolicited stuff).
So, if you are already subscribed to our updates, you don’t need to do anything, just wait for the new year and enter the draw. If you are not subscribed, this might be the right time to do so. Please visit this page for details on how to subscribe.
Good luck!
