The last month has been a lot of fun, three great contests sponsored by Fox Cigars!  Brought back some memories of the good old days of CigarCraig contests.  It’s getting harder and harder to give stuff away these days! I’ll keep sharing great cigars with my readers as long as I am able, and I know my partners are always anxious to spread the love as well. Thanks to Rob at Fox for helping out with this series of contests! I know that Chase received his Perdomo prize, and Narciso’s Oliva gift went out in the mail yesterday. Today we’ll be announcing the winner of the last present in the three part Welcome to the CigarCraig Family contest! I smoked an original El Güegüense Robusto last night to celebrate, since I didn’t seem to have any Illusiones on hand, I guess I’ll have to go on Fox Cigars website and order some! The El Güegüense was fantastic! I believe it was from the original release, and it burned well, although it did need a correction here and there, but the flavor was wonderful. 

I did make some Area 51 jokes in the original contest post, I don’t recommend attending that event. Also, I don’t think Dion has named any Illusione cigars Area 51 (yet), but he has used MJ12, which refers to a group of scientists who probably worked there. Anyway, through my random selection process, utilizing the random number generator on Random.org, and a spreadsheet randomize range tool, I’ve selected a winner from combined website and Instagram comments. That winner is Nate Martin! Please email me your address, along with proof that you’re of legal age so I can get all these goodies out to you. Thank you again to Fox Cigars! That’s all for today, until the next time,

OK, this is the third and final installment of the “Welcome Fox Cigars” series of Giveaways! The first two have been great, I think you’ll agree, but I think you’ll also agree that we’ve saved the best for last!  Honestly,  I probably could have stretched this out to four, but let’s not get carried away! First we have to determine a winner from last weeks giveaway.  Like last time, I made a list of the combined entries from he comments here and on Instagram, and randomized them, and had Random.org pick a number and that was the winner.  The winner of the Oliva prize is from the website comments this week!  Narciso Lopez, please send me your address, along with proof that you are of legal age, so that I can send you your winnings!

Let’s see what Giveaway numero tres, looks like! Illusione! Dion Giolito makes some great cigars, and has a cigar store in Reno.  Here we have an Illusione t-shirt in XL, perfect to wear to the big Area 51 thing next month!  And, since Are 51 is in the Nevada desert, you’ll need the Illusione 5 count travel humidor to keep your cigars in good shape. Speaking of cigars, there are some of those too!  There are two each of Illusione Cruzado Marelas Supremas and Cruzado Domenicos Extra.  There’s an Illusione Rex (the unbanded corona), and an Epernay. Since Illusione is  a boutique brand, there’s also a selection of boutique cigars! a selection from Aganorsa Leaf, Warped, Surrogates and Foundation add to the panache of this super-cool prize pack! I’m going to enter (not really, but I haven’t smoked some of these cigars! I’m going to have to order some from Fox).

By the way, I don’t recommend going anywhere near Area 51, I understand it’s not cigar friendly at all. So, leave a comment to enter! I’m going to post this on Instagram, and I’m going to include comments on that post as well, just to make my life more difficult, so you can get two chances.  As usual, you must be of legal smoking age in your jurisdiction to win (and even that’s getting to be a PITA these days!), one entry per person  (per site). I’ll select a winner next Wednesday, August 14, 2019. Once again, thanks to Rob at Fox Cigars!
