"Dress Like a Habanos Insider" Contest!

Howdy folks,

It's been a while since I've held a contest so the time is ripe. This one is called the "Dress Like a Habanos Insider" contest.

Have you ever wondered what the people in the Cuban cigar industry wear as they go about the business of growing and fermenting tobacco, rolling those delicious forbidden sticks, and designing new vitolas? Well I have it on very good authority that every single person involved in tobacco wears the exact same Habanos-authorized uniform T-shirt! That's right, when the legendary Don Alejandro Robaina is out there inspecting the plants on his vega, he's wearing this shirt. When Hamlet and La Chine are rolling their custom sticks at LCDH's around the world, they are wearing this very shirt.*


By special arrangement with the highest echelons of Habanos executive management, I have managed to secure a few specimens of this exclusive industry livery*. Now you have an opportunity to be mistaken for someone in the biz, someone in the know, someone who commands respect merely because of the T-shirt they're wearing! I mean just look at the quality embroidery and how black the shirt is. Wow!

Ok, so are you guys ready for the rules of this contest? I thought you'd be.

1. This contest is open to all CigarPass members who have been registered for at least 3 months and have at least 50 posts.

2. I want you to compose a limerick about cigars. It could be about your favorite stick or brand. It could be about smoking cigars. It could be about anything at all, even those Cuban things that all of us have read about but none of us have ever seen in person :whistling:

3. The contest begins as of the time of this posting and will run until 8:00 PM on Wednesday, October 11th.

4. I will choose the limerick that best tickles my fancy and that most cleverly demonstrates a bit of wit or wisdom on cigar-related topics.

5. The winner will receive the Habanos T-shirt and a modest prize package of quality cigars.

Here's your chance to impress the fine BOTL's and SOTL's of CigarPass so put on your poetic hat, sharpen that quill pen and regale us with your hidden talent!

PS. Any limerick which mentions Moontrance will be summarily disqualifed.

* This story is a complete lie, but hey, it makes for a better story than the mundane truth. This product is not of Cuban origin or manufacture and thus American members need not worry about being in contravention of U.S. statute.

********************************************

After much consideration and bleary-eyed limerick reading, I hereby declare the winner of this contest to be:

LilBastage! for his two fine efforts:

There he sat with a Vegas Robainas
The wrapper was silky not veinous
Toasted the foot
Between the lips it was put
Ahh.... a flavor quite far from heinous

Oh what a wonderful smell
This one is blended quite well
Smells quite like the barnyard
Resisting is so hard
Habanos: so much heaven with hell

Special consolation prize for pumping out the most limericks with a total of 11 is:

Stew070

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who gave this contest a spin. I guess any contest that can drag verse out of Neal had ot have been a pretty good idea.

Wilkey

PS, for those keeping count, we had a total of 71 limericks submitted by 24 members. :thumbs:

Dammit :angry:

So I can't do...There was an old man from Nantucket, who took out his Moontrance and ........ :whistling:

:laugh: HAHA, Holy shit I just fell out of my flippin chair. Well done Moki, well freaking done.

You can repair a 'gar wrapper
By putting it in her snapper
Then twist the 'gar about
As your girl lets out a shout
And then smoke up your del mar tobacc-errrr!

ya ya ya yaaaaa... Wilkey rides bicycles without seats!

I've posted this before, but what the heck...


There once was a girl from Belize
For a cigar, she would drop to her knees.
When thehatguy said “Do it!”,
that chick got down to it,
but the next day she was covered in fleas.


btw, the CP member name in this little ditty has been changed from my original post to someone more appropriate...

Here's my first entry (if more than one are permitted).

I once saw a movie called Fargo.
A place further North than Key Largo.
They should send Castro there,
with some long underwear,
and be done with this B.S. embargo!

Here's another:

Cohiba, Cuaba, Quai D'Orsay
Partagas, Saint Luis Rey.
La Gloria Cubana
y Vegas Robaina
y Hoyo De Monterry!

Moki, you are a dirty, dirty man!

Leafy, not bad. Not bad at all.

Wilkey

My first ever limerick, also my first ever limerick about cigars and first ever limerick about CP...on to the show






I once found a place called CP
a place where I could be me
I learned oh so much
by reading and such
now I know more than Min Ron Nee*





Hey look it even fits all the aspects of a real limerick, Im so proud of my drunken self.

*This of course is a total joke and make no claim to have such ridiculous knowledge. Its all done in fun to win a sweet T-shirt.

My cousin went on vacation this year,
Came back with this great souvenir.
They were Cuban and cheap.
Smelled of swine and of sheep.
But the top of the box is too clear!

-D

Ok I was on a roll so now for a suck up one, none the less true one,



There once was a man named wilkey
no one more analytical than he
he always took his time
bustin counterfit crime
posting results of his work on C-P







CYG

a single cigar
and a full rich stout
I smoke till I nearly pass out
O my what a wonderful splender
Now I lay after my power ranger,
fender bender.

Brash

Hope I win

There once was a forum called CP
They'd let anyone in, even me
Someone started a war
And blew off many a door
He had balls, but didn't have an 'E'



There is a sweet girl from Cancun
Who sits around staring at the MOON
She will give you a glance
And put you in a TRANCE
And Ginseng will visit her soon

:whistling:

Yea, I know I shot myself in the foot... but I couldn't help myself.

:sign: :sign: :sign:

There once was a boy, first name Wilkey
He smoked fruity 'gars with some milkey
When you called him on it
He'd throw a small fit
And maintain "those Moontrances are silkey!"

LOL.

I'm starting to understand that some of you guys are talented...but that most of you are depreaved.

Keep 'em coming. I see a couple of nice ones already.

Wilkey

I am not eligible but here is one anyway.

There was an old man from Cuba.
Who rolled a cigar like a tuba.
So large was his cigar.
He got in his car.
He smoked all the way to Aruba.


Here's another:

There was a young man from dela-where.
He smoked his cigars in a yellow chair.
He liked his Habonos and played his piano’s.
Now he has not a got a care.

Moontrance cigars for every day
When Wilkey smokes he feels so gay
A lovely drag
He loves to brag
Cares not what others say!
