Stogie Guys Super Bowl Cigar Contest Winner
Monday, February 5th, 2007Despite the resentment of resident Bears superfan Patrick A, today we are crowning the champion of our first annual StogieGuys.com Super Bowl Cigar Contest. Congrats to Kevin from Arlington, Virginia whose entry won, and thanks to all who entered.
Nobody had the Colts by 12, but Kevin guessed Colts by 11 which proved the closest entry. Fortunately for Kevin, his guess of 65 total points scored was not needed as a tiebreaker.
For his skilled (or maybe just lucky) prognosticating, Kevin will receive five fantastic stogies: a Gurkha Class Regent Torpedo, a Macanudo Robust Rothschild, a 5 Vegas Series “A” Alpha, a Puros Indios “Special-Aged” Piramide, and a CAO Criollo Pato. Only the Gurkha, Macanudo and CAO have have been rated by Stogie Guys and they all received impressive four out of five stogie ratings.
Special mention goes to runner up Marc Kassin, whose prediction of a 14-point Colts victory (and 45 total points scored – only one off) would have won were it not spoiled by a missed extra point and missed chip shot field goal by Adam “used to be a sure thing” Vinatieri. Not including StogieGuys.com writers, your predictions were split evenly between the Colts and Bears.
You screwed me again Rex Grossman!
While it breaks my big Bear heart to give my cigars to a reader who predicted a Colts win, congrats Kevin.
Chicago Bears in 2007!

We’re pretty sure it’s a La Gloria Cubana Series R because, back in September, we wrote this article about various Mets players celebrating their NL East Title with cigars. 2) Let us be the first to nominate this Conoco gas station for the award of Best Gas Station in the World. Outfitted with sofas, chairs, a 48-inch plasma TV, and a walk in humidor, this Webster Groves, Missouri business is the first gas station/cigar lounge on the planet. 3) Here’s something new to us: TNT Cigars (a Stogie Guys sponsor) is now offering mobile ordering via text messaging. How it works? We aren’t really sure. But if you do order, don’t forget to claim you free torch lighter by including the code “stogie” at checkout. [...]
