Contest: Win a Box of Pinar del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Cigars

PDR 1878 - 1


A few days ago I was on Facebook talking with Abe Flores of Pinar del Rio. We talked about a variety of things and Abe made mention of wanting to spread the word about his new line of cigars. I suggested that giving away a box would go a long way in spreading the word and he was more than happy to provide us with a box of PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Cigars to offer as a contest prize.

In the contest department we both drew a blank and I told him that I’d talk to the guys and come up with something. After talking to Jerry, he had an idea so crazy that I thought it might just work. With my wife and I expecting in less than a month, he suggested we run a contest to come up with a cigar related baby nick-name.

So for the contest, all we ask is that you head down to the comment section and suggest a baby name. My wife and I have decieded to pass on learning the sex of the baby early. This works in your benefit and allows you to enter twice. Suggest one nick-name for a boy and one for a girl. The two names that are off-limits are Petit Corona and Little Robusto

All entrants must reside in the continental United States. Two entries per person (one entry for a boy and one entry for a girl). All entries must be in by July 1, 2010. A winner will be selected and announced shortly after.

After entering the contest, please take a moment to visit the Pinar del Rio website and show Abe a little love for being so generous with a box of fine cigars.

  62. Hmmm…

    Wish I knew your prospective name list, so I could better tailor the nick… (for example, were the name “Anne” a contender, I might suggest “Anilla,” pronounced “un-knee-ya,” which is a Cuban word for the cigar band; fleshing it out: Anilladora is the girl who puts the band on the cigars!).

    Philosophically, a nick should be sharp, concise, a lil bit funny, and something you’d actually say. Also something you can play around with, i.e., play variations, associations (see above: you could yell, “Hey C’mere ya liddle Anille! My leetle Anilladora? I adore ya!” and so on… Plus, when she gets growed up a little–ALL chillun like to use cigar bands as rings, so you’d be able to involve her whilst playing with her nickname).

    But w/o further info, I offer the following:

    Nah: after all the above explanation, I offer up “Anille” as the girl’s nick (I was gonna go with Curly Head–a certain kind of cigar finishing and a nick which offers up all the potential noted above PLUS mebbe der bebe has some curly hair… I dunno… but I talked myself into Anille).

    For der boy? Punk.

    You’re gonna call him Punk anyway — and sometimes he’s gonna act like one! Punk in the combustible sense is something most often used to light fireworks (you know: smoldering tinder-type stuff an’ like that), but some folks I know keep a punk around when lighting a succession of small stogies… Also: Punk gives you some variation possibilities: Punkin’ (“Hey dere my little pumpy-kins!”), punk-o-rama, “Hey, d’jou just get outta Punkville? Get on over here a’fore I punk ya upside da noggin’!

    But, most importantly–it don’t matter WHAT you call ’em; just love ’em, wrassle ’em, lead ’em, and love ’em. Congrats!
