Being that we are coming up on the 2008 holiday season, we at Stogie Review wanted to do something special for those that have supported us for the last couple of years. We have worked with a number of sponsors to bring you the biggest and baddest contest we have ever done!
We originally planned on giving away twelve prizes, but before I knew it, thirteen kind people were stepping up and offering us prizes to give away. As a result, we will be giving away twelve prizes, plus one, throughout the month of December, with a combined value of over $1,600. Starting on December 13th, 2008, we will give away one prize per day right up to the grand prize on Christmas Day.
In order to make this contest as big as possible, we ask that you please spread the word to all of your cigar smoking friends and family. We would like next years contest to be even bigger than this one, and the only way that will be possible is to get loads of entries. So please enter each and every contest and have fun doing so.
The prizes, sponsors, and contest rules are described below. We ask that if you ever have the opportunity to speak with our contest sponsors, that you thank them for their generosity.
