THE GREAT "HOMEMADE HUMIDOR" CONTEST!!

Okay, folks...for at least the last year and a quarter (which is as long as I've been scanning the posts over on Alt.Smokers.Cigars), there's been a constant flurry of both questions regarding the construction of home-built humidors, and bragging about the various cigar storage containers you've created. Well, now's your chance to show off the fruits of your labors, and maybe reap a little extra something for your efforts!

It's Cigargroup's first-ever "Great Home-made Humidor " Contest! And it works as follows:

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 30!!!

From now, until November 30th, Cigargroup will be accepting your entries either via e-mail at our web-site (homemade@cigargroup.com), for those of you with photo-scanning equipment, OR at my home address:

Barry E. Ottey
211 North Cedar St.
Lititz, PA 17543-1102

........for those of you who can't scan your own photos.

All entries will be displayed on our Homemade Humidor Album Page!
Winning entries will be picked from each of the following categories:

Biggest
Glitziest
Most Difficult Conversion
Theme-based (sea-chest, photon torpedo casing, whatever...)

Best Construction
and an overall, Grand Prize, winner will be selected from among the five finalists.

CONTEST PRIZES:

Each of the five finalists will receive an Official A.S.C. T-Shirt , and the Grand Prize Winner will also receive a professionally crafted Traveldor(tm)

I want to take this opportunity to thank Brian Samples for donating the Traveldor for our use as a Grand Prize in this contest.

CONTEST RULES:

Photos should be in color, for best viewing.
Each entry must be accompanied by a brief description of the materials used in the construction, problems you ran into as you worked, and your ingenious solutions to those problems.
The contest is open to amateur efforts, only.
All entries must be fully functional (i.e., capable of maintaining cigars at proper temperature and humidity)
Entries must be received at our e-mail box, or snail-mail postmarked, no later than midnight, October 31st, 1996.

LATE-BREAKING BULLETIN!!

From the webmaster, Bob Curtis:
Ever since cybersmokers "discovered" PG, we've been building all sorts of contraptions to hold our stogies. Big and small, these tupperdors, igloodors, tool-boxadors, and whateveradors range from practical to frivolous; from stylish to hideous. This contest is for ALL of our homemade cigar boxes - the more outrageous the better! Do you have a litter-boxadore with toilet-duck credo? A trashcanador with a milk-carton based humidity device? Simple or elaborate, send in your photos - You could be the winner of our first annual homemade humidor contest!

Perhaps you're just proud of your creation. Let others see how you solved the problems of cigar storage. Even if you don't win, your creation will be featured on our new homemade humidors album page. Get involved, and show other cybersmokers just how it's done... Entries will be judged for creativity and style - you could be our next winner!
