Jose Blanco Webcast - Contest!

So I figured I'd put all the details here in one post.

How the contest works -

Each person who registered to watch and checked the "Yes" box for entering the contest is given an entry, provided they watched more than 10 minutes of the webcast. I understand it's long, but no points for just registering.

If those users are also CW forums members with 1 or more posts of quality (and I'll offer up to other CW members to judge anything that's IMHO NOT quality and accept or reject those...) get a second entry.

Not to encourage new member participation in our little community, if they have 10 or more posts, they get a 3rd entry. Existing FOGS are not qualified for this, sorry guys.

The contest now officially closes midnight SUNDAY EST 23 November. I decided to extend this due to a recent rush of registrations.

The prizes, in no particular order:

1 winner gets a the hat/golf prize pack from Blue Havana II
3 winners get the tasting cigar. re-watch and taste along with us!
4 winners get a choice of either - 5 pack of Senorial cigars or Senorial polo. The polo's are mens sizes. tag says XXL, but it's an XL.
3 winners get a beautiful Senorial Scarf


Nice swag!!
Many thanks to Jose for his knowledge, his permission to webcast the event, and the fantastic prizes.

Make sure you've registered and watched the webcast!!

I am emailing all the entrants today. Any bounced emails will be excluded from the final drawing.
The drawing will be done with a random number generator tomorrow.
If you are notified that you won the 'five pack or Shirt" those shirts and 5 packs will go will go first come first served - there are 2 of each - email back your choice ASAP.

The emails are sent. The body of the email is this:
Here's how we do this:

Every person who selected the "contest entry = YES" option on the registration, and who watched the video, was given 1 'ticket'.

Every person who met the criteria above, but was also a cigarweekly.com forums member got 1 bonus ticket.

These tickets are assigned number, from a random generated sequence list.

Upon confirmation that your email address is valid, your ticket(s) will be included in the drawing. The drawing will use a random number generator from random.org to pull the winners.

Winners who are selected the "cigar 5 pack OR shirt" get to pick 1 or the other, and, because there are 4 such prizes (2 5 packs and 2 shirts), first reply gets their pick.


Because entrants are given 'tickets' randomly for fairness, the prizes will be pulled in the following random order:
tasting cigar
polo/5pk
scarf
blue havana prize
polo/5pk
scarf
polo/5pk
polo/5pk
tasting cigar
scarf
tasting cigar

The random drawing will be run using a list generator on Random.org later today.

I'm paying the postage to ship these all - so guys and gals, please use my amazon.com link this holiday season!

Oh, and due to the 'ticket' nature of the entries, it is possible - though not likely - that a person may win 2 prizes.

Passed out last night after helping wife prep turkey, bake pie, etc. (there was bourbon, baileys and coffee, etc. involved...)

So the drawing happened NOW.
If you won one of the "5pack or polo" prizes, you'll get an email tonight To be as fair as humanly possible on this holiday, I'm aware some may be traveling and away from computer, so I'll send that email out later - probably 10pm EST.
Again, those go first come - first served.

Thanks everyone.
Remember, if you win the tasting cigar, smoke it along with the recording!

The recording is open for registration and replay through the end of the year.
After that, I'll have it available here on the forums only.

Thanks everyone, and happy Thanksgiving.

John
