Exciting news - lucky and I have introduced a mini-game to the mix! Gentlemen, get ready for Dog Rocket Roulette! Participation isn't mandatory or anything, but we feel that offering it up for anyone who wants to play, really adds to the fun of the whole thing.
Here's how it works - Riding along with the main box pass and everything else, will be a very special bag of cigars with the factory bands removed, available for the bravest among us to smoke blind. Now, they're not all horrible sticks - 2 or 3 of them are really awful, yes - but 2 of them are 90-rated or higher by Cigar Aficionado. The rest are just kinda "meh"... nothing great but not disgusting like the turds. (In fact, some seem to be fairly popular, as far as lower-priced brands go.) But hey, there are a couple gems hidden in there! Yay!
Oh, and since most of us should be able to tell a decent stick from a dog rocket even without the bands, we made it a point to select sticks that all appear to have wrappers of similar quality. So the 90+ rateds don't really look as nice as most good smokes do, and the turds look a lot better than they taste. Some of them still look better than others, but if you choose to play, be warned that looks may or may not be deceiving...
Well, it's out of my hands now, and lucky will be launching this thing tomorrow. Let's do this!!!!
