You guys are killing me. No perfect scores yet. Hint. Read the questions carefully.

Doc.
 
Just mark the AVO as damaged and continue on.

I'll have to check with Tone-ny to see about the Opus, maybe he took it and forgot to list it. If it isn't to be found and you want to use your 2005 for a surprise put that's OK with me. I do have one 2004 left if someone really wants it.

Alright,
Been through the pass.
There are two issues.
#4 Avo LE5 has substantial foot damage.
Easily fixed as I will replace it with an undamaged one.
#29 Opus Forbidden X 2004 is nowhere to be found.
I would fix this too but my Forbiddens are from 2005 and they have some slight foot damage.
Ray, let me know how you want me to proceed.

I am working out my T/Ps now.

That is my fault did a quick count on the inventory. I did not reconcile it with the list of cigars. Let me know what you want done and I'll add something.
 
Just cross #29 off the inventory and continue on. One stick isn't going to make or break the pass.
 
I'm going to end this contest Monday morning and announce the winner. I think everyone who was interested has had the opportunity to participate and I probably won't receive the pass for 7 to 10 days. There's no sense in prolonging it.

Doc.
 
Alright after a nice big breakfast I have my proposed T/Ps...

7. Cuesta Ray Stanford's Cameroon Reserve for 62. Avo Le05 re-release
33. Padilla 1932 Torpedo for 63. Cohiba MAduro 5 Secretos
42. Tatuaje HAbano 6 Aristas for 64. Don Carlos #4
58. Trinidad Ingenios 2007 EL for 65. Forbidden X 2005 from the Journey Box Set (no tubo)
46. Surprise for 66. AF Hemingway MAduro MAsterpiece 67. Hammengway MAduro Classic and 68. Romeo y Julieta Churchill from 06.

Thanks Ray.
Nice surprise!

Bill are you ready?
I shot you an e-mail.
PM me!
-Rob
 
very nice p/t there Rob.

The mystery of the surprise is almost killing me here... can't wait to see what it is.
 
Really REALLY nice P & T rob :)
 
The winner of the States Firsts Contest is jlada. Who's only error was one of omission, leaving out the town Shaftsbury in question 3

The question that seemed to confuse most of you was #13 "Who was the first American to win an Olympic medal in Nordic skiing and where was he from? Andrea Meade did indeed win an Olympic Gold in 1952. BUT, she's not a he and won her medal in an Alpine event. Fuggin' flatlanders. :laugh:

All the answers can be found HERE Except for the deer question which I found on a Texas firsts sight. They do indeed boast it, but I think they're full of it, because in all the hunting articles I've ever read, that distinction has always been attributed to Pa.

If the winner will kindly send me his addy, we'll get 'er done.

Doc.
 
Don't be so hard on them Doc, hell maybe they thought that was the surprise of your contest(she might be a he, being from Vermont and all...)!
