Lee Elderton, you are the winner of the box of Canimao Robusto Extra signed by Mel Gonzalez! I appreciate everyone who stopped by the site and entered this great contest. I am jealous of you Lee. I would like to keep the box for myself.

This contest would not have been possible if it weren’t for Mel Gonzalez, president and CEO of Canimao Cigars. He generously donated and signed the winning prize. Mel, thanks!

For the time being, there are no contests scheduled. But some possibilities are brewing and I hope to put something together in early 2010. Stay tuned!

The Contest is closed. Thanks to all who participated!

If the answer is yes, then ignore this post. If you have answered “No, I haven’t entered the Canimao contest.” Then I have to wonder what is wrong with you. Do you not like FREE cigars?

Entering is easy enough. Simply click HERE and enter the raffle! In the very near future, I will draw a random winner.

I was at a Canimao event last month, and got to chill with the President and CEO of the company, Mel Gonzalez. His master blender Vincente Garcia was there as well, and he rolled cigars all night.

Mel really made us pay attention to the flavors in the cigars we smoked that night and demanded our feedback. It was great to see that he wasn’t just there to push product. He displayed a passion for his small boutique cigar company that was refreshing.

This gave me the idea of reviewing the Robusto Extra, and giving away a box on this site. Mel was all for it. He signed a box immediately and donated it for the raffle.

To enter, you have to be at least 18 years of age, and you can only enter once. Simply leave a comment here on this post. Please leave valid contact info, or I won’t be able to contact you if you win. Your email address will be kept confidential.

That’s it! In a couple weeks, a random winner will be drawn. And let’s not forget to thank Mel and Canimao for generously sponsoring this contest!

In the mean time, check out what Ed and I thought of the Canimao Robusto Extra in the latest installment of The Ed  & Tom Show. This video runs 22 minutes.

The first prize winner is Rafe. You get a Xikar Xi MTX Multi-Tool and a 3 pack of HC Series cigars. You get to choose which color Multi-Tool you want from the choices below.

The second place winner is Agent 86 from The Cigar Spy. You will be getting a 4 pack of HC Series Habano Colorado cigars. This is the cigar Matt and I reviewed here.

I have already emailed both of you for your contact information so you can get your free stuff! Again I can’t thank Xikar enough for sponsoring this great raffle.

Stay tuned, because my November raffle will be posted very soon. This is another contest you won’t want to miss! Trust me, this one is big!

You’ve seen me using the Xikar MTX Multi-Tool for well over a year now on every review I do. I also use it on every cigar I smoke. Although intimidating at first, I can’t imagine being without it now.

Awhile back I posted a quick video on how to use the MTX Multi-Tool. You can view it HERE. At the end of this cigar review, Matt shows his method, which differs from mine. You didn’t come here to read my ramblings… So let’s get to the part where you get free stuff.

This contest will run for a couple weeks, and have two winners. The first place winner will receive a Xikar MTX Multi-Tool, and a sampler of HC Series cigars. You will be able to pick whatever color Multi-tool you like, shown below.

The second place winner will receive a 4 pack of the cigar being reviewed, the HC Series Habano Colorado. One contest, two winners. You can thank Xikar for donating both prizes, and my pal Matt for helping me put it together.

Now for the important part… How do you enter? Well, the first rule is that you must be 18 or older. The second rule is that you can only enter once. Then you simply watch the 20 minute review below, where we explain how to enter. Easy! Click HERE and enter now!
