NOW it’s over. Seriously. No day 14, it’s time to put this puppy to bed. It was another terrific year of contests thanks to all of the sponsors and to all of you for following along every day, getting up early to enter, and all of the winners for getting to me promptly. I’ll be shipping the last two packages from here today, and I heard from Barry at Miami Cigar and Co. that he will be shipping today too. As always, I couldn’t do it without the support of my wife, she has to put up with a lot of my insanity for a good month straight. Over the course of nearly two weeks we gave away 245 cigars, along with some hats, t-shirts and cutters. That’s hard to beat!
This year’s sponsors were, in order of appearance:
Gurkha
Iconic Leaf
2 Guys Smoke Shop
Leccia Tobacco
Legacy Brands
Flor de Gonzalez
Kings Cigars
La Aurora
La Palina
Miami Cigar and Co.
Villiger Cigars
Drew Estate
Torano Family Cigars
Famous Smoke Shop
Please visit these companies sites and check out their great offerings and thank them when you have an opportunity. They don’t have to give stuff away like this, but it’s awfully nice that they do.
One last piece of business we need to get out of the way, then we can get back to business as usual! We need a winner for the two boxes of Romeo y Julieta cigars from Famous Smoke Shop. Don’t forget to use the discount codes to get yourself some great deals at Famous Smoke Shop through January!

OK, so the winner of the Capulets and Montagues is comment number 6, which I’ve determined belongs to irratebass! Mickey, please sent me your address so I can pass it along to Travis at Famous!
That’s it! Hope everyone enjoyed the ride and had a happy holiday! Now I have to start thinking of stuff to write about again!
Until the next time,

It was a great ride. Happy New Year!

Once again, kudos to the man whose name is an anagram for cigar. Excellent contest mang and many thanks to you and Jenn for your efforts. Gracious appreciation for all your sponsors in these days of cutbacks and shortcuts. May the new year be a healthy, happy, and prosperous one for you.
Craig – Thanks again! Have a great New Year and look forward to your insight on the new models coming out this next year!
Excellent contests, Craig. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for running your blog and running your 12 days of Christmas contest. I’ve always enjoyed your blog and try to get my buddies to follow as well. I’m still working on a few of my aforementioned friends to enjoy smoking vicariously through @CigarCraig as much as I do. Blessings to you and your family!
Craig thanks for your work in running this great contest. Its turning into a Christmas tradition so I hope it lives on. Thanks also to those that provided the prizes. Finally, congrats to the winners. I will look forward to your views on cigars throughout the coming year.
Thanks again for these giveaways !
I would like to add my thanks for the fun contests, Craig, and also to the great sponsors who participated with you. I hope you had a blessed Christmas, and I wish you all a Happy New Year! Stay safe over the rest of the holiday season.
Thanks for a great contest!!!
Great job once again Craig. Can’t believe someone would put all this extra work on themselves during this already hectic holiday. That’s one of the things that makes this site special. You always go the extra step to engage your readers.
Hoping for continued and growing success in the new year.
Craig well done! Happy New Year to all!
Thanks, Craig, for bringing us readers yet another year of your cigar journeys. All the best to you (and tell your wife thanks, too)!

With everything so good there’s always at least one negative thing. The only thing wrong with contest was I didn’t even win a darn pack of
matches.☺~~~ Of course I’m just giving you S@@T. Thanks again!
