LordAnubis Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Hey folks. So lots of people do the challenges liek Movember to raise money for cahrity or what not. I would liek to do some sort cigar related challenge. At first i thought i'd smoke one churchill every day for a full 30 days. This is a pretty big time commitment i think and considering i only smoke one cigar a week normally, a considerable smoking challenge. I then thought i'm travelling in the next few months so i'll do it while im on my travels. i.e. take a photo of me with a cigar in front of pyramids, and london bridge and so on. Anyway, im not sure if that is "gimmick" enough to ask people to donate towards the challenge, so throwing out there if any of you guys have any ideas for challenges involving cigars. Mus
Smallclub Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 A cigar smoking challenge? I must have missed something; since when smoking fine cigars all day long is challenging? What's next? Chateau Petrus drinking challenge? Michelin guide 4 stars restaurant dining challenge? j/k…
Fuzz AI Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 How about smoking in front of a "No Smoking" sign in every country or town you visit? The challenge being not getting arrested or hassled by the public!
dangolf18 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Pick a brand and smoke every current production stick in that brand
Blakes Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The only challenging thing I could think of regarding cigar smoking is not to smoke any for a month!
potpest Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The only challenging thing I could think of regarding cigar smoking is not to smoke any for a month! This^ I tried not smoking last weekend, ended up having 3 in the end
El Presidente Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 A box of Monte Open Eagles in a month......now that is a challenge
Fuzz AI Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 A box of Monte Open Eagles in a month......now that is a challenge Followed by a month smoking Monte Masters, and then another month the Regata!
shlomo Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Hey, I enjoy the Regata and even the Masters once in a while. If I had the time, I would have no problem smoking a box in a month. Anybody want to be the gracious donor?
bogglor Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Pick a brand and smoke every current production stick in that brand A smoking "vertical" tasting, now that would be interesting. Would be particularly interesting with a line like the Siglos that have a ton of vitolas.
garbandz Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 smoke a lars tetens gorilla finger.............ONCE...........And not vomit or break out in a sweat..........There's your challenge..............
polarbear Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Depending on where you're going Smoke only the reigonals for each country you visit Making sure they are all from different years, if possible
Overproof Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Similar to PBs suggestion but to make things a little broader and maybe less expensive you could match your days location with the naming type (factory/common) or the brand...ie London=Lonsdale or LGC, Morocco = Monte or Marevas.. If your staying in the same place for a few days then you could find a famous landmarks...ie. Big Ben=Bolivar, you get the idea. Edit: Pics or it didn't happen
LordAnubis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 The only challenging thing I could think of regarding cigar smoking is not to smoke any for a month! Easy as mate, i can go 4 months without a cigar.
Hiroshiro Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Easy as mate, i can go 4 months without a cigar. Ahaha my best is a week
LordAnubis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Depending on where you're going Smoke only the reigonals for each country you visit Making sure they are all from different years, if possible My problem will be if i can't find quality cigars from the places i go. I'm going to Egypt, Israel, Jordan, London and Dubai.
LordAnubis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 How about smoking in front of a "No Smoking" sign in every country or town you visit? The challenge being not getting arrested or hassled by the public! Ahahah i fear the first 2 photos you'll see me infront of signs and the rest of the 28 photos will be me in prison.
TheCoach Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Pick a brand and smoke every current production stick in that brand Thats a great idea... Good challenge...
Fuzz AI Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Ahahah i fear the first 2 photos you'll see me infront of signs and the rest of the 28 photos will be me in prison. Well, you did ask for a challenge!
LordAnubis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Pick a brand and smoke every current production stick in that brand My first stop will be Dubai duty free as well, i can grab 3 packs of pretty much the entire Cohiba line up. This could be done. Still no added gimmick though for a non-smoker to worry about donating for my efforts.
Fuzz AI Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Smoke the entire CC range in order of size or alphabetically.
LordAnubis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 A guy today had a good idea... just do the smoking and then have a 30 picutres with a "spot the cigar" competition. I then thought, what i could do is post one pic every day on here, another forum (aus only forum i a member of) and on facebook. And for every like/comment/post/guess i get on all three mediums i will donate 50cents out of my own pocket to the kitty at the end. Others can also donate an amount to the cause if they so wish out of their own pocket.
Surucipe Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hey, I enjoy the Regata and even the Masters once in a while. If I had the time, I would have no problem smoking a box in a month. Anybody want to be the gracious donor? I agree, I also quite enjoy the Regata! The Masters on the other hand,.... not so much.
shlomo Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 My problem will be if i can't find quality cigars from the places i go. I'm going to Egypt, Israel, Jordan, London and Dubai. Israel, london and dubai will have excellent cigars with the the first two charging you like crazy for them. dont know about egypt or jordan though.
AhmedAloub Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 My problem will be if i can't find quality cigars from the places i go. I'm going to Egypt, Israel, Jordan, London and Dubai. For Dubai there are a lot of LCDH shops where you can buy and smoke fine cuban cigar. I am living in Dubai you can PM and we can arrange something when you are here. For Egypt it is there but in some hotels and it is expensive. Check jw marriott and four seasons
