The May Workout Competition...

[cj121]

...colloquially known as the WADDAFCUKAMI Challenge:biggrin1:

EDIT: Just got back from the local stockists and the prize in question will be an H. Upmann Magnum 46 Tubo. Pic is on page 2 as I can't seem to add it as a stand alone edit.


I've carefully dissected a prestigious stick for your eyes to feast upon. Don'y worry, it was long dead before I got to work. There's no trickery, it's Cuban and you'll all know the brand.

It's a two-fold question:
What cigar is it, and how many individual pieces of tobacco made up this formerly beautiful smoke?:hmmmm:

In the event that someone gets the stick, but not the amount of leaves, it'll be the closest if that's ok. There may also be some clues dropped in along the way, but I'll see about that one.
Good luck!

[whisky77]

Crystal clear then CJ,after all this waiting, all my eyes are feasting on is what?

Or am i missing something here.Telepathy, ESP, cyberkinetic powers, the krypton factor.

Wheres the photograph?:biggrin1:

[whisky77]

Hold on CJ, it`s coming to me now,I can see it, Montecristo No2 and it`s in 14 pieces...............no hold on CJ, i am receiving another vision from the space cadet control tower.............it`s now a Partagas SD No4 in 7 pieces.........no hold on CJ it`s a fish supper.:der:

[cj121]

There are subtle clues in the construction smart-arse:41:

[Robusto]

Beautiful autopsy moment! :smoke:

[cj121]

Beautiful autopsy moment! :smoke:

I thank you sir. A bit of fun, and if it doesn't take off, I'll rethink...but not just yet:eyebrows::smile:

[Robusto]

It's astounding how much leaf goes inside one of our beauts!

[cj121]

It's astounding how much leaf goes inside one of our beauts!

Yeah, and the work that is involved in getting them all together to form a specific length and shape. Talented, them rollers.

[nicwing]

OK from here on I am going into CSI Miami mode, I did think I would be Calleigh Duquesne (crazy name, crazy gal) because she used to do that wonderful squeezed boobs together gun firing thing that brighted up many a cold winter evening by the Wing fireside.

But no, in the end there was really only one choice... Ever scince Shatner retired as Captain James Tiberius Kirk there has only been one swine capable of delivering a withering and halting one liner with such pathos (ham!!!!!).

Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight I am going to be Lt Horatio Caine.

R&J Churchill and 26 leaves..????

[cj121]

R&J Churchill and 26 leaves..????

Check me out....I am keen...:p

That's the spirit meduck! Nice one Dale.

No restrictions on entries either. But check out the construction which should help. I don't suppose this comp will get you all moist/hard (whichever end is applicable), but there's a fine stick awaiting for the right answer me hardies:smoke:

This is an opportunity to consider not only what we smoke, but how it's made, which is taken for granted: cut the end off and burn, baby, burn.

It'll run for a week or so, to keep you in suspenders.

[nicwing]

CJ, it may interest you to know that Deano and I spent a good time last night talking to Sam who invented the Nub brand and he described himself as a "Cigar Geek"

He said that he used to deconstruct Cigars, exactly as you have done. He took all this knowledge and went to Nicaragua and other countries to learn about different tobaccos and then started rolling the Nub in his garage.

So you could see this the start of a whole new career!

[cj121]

Sssshh. The wife keeps telling me to get quotes for the garage, and I keep forgetting. Mind you, if I had one, I'm not sure if I'd be rolling my Nub in it:rolleyes:

But seriously, we fire 'em up and stub 'em out. There's a heap of work goes into constructing the various sizes ans shapes. I'm not of geek stature, but was interested to see what went into "one of our beauts" (Robusto, The May Workout Competition, 2009, pg1).
To be continued Nic as we're out for nibbles.

I'll update about the prize tomorrow, when I've been down my local stockist. It'll be a nice stick:41:

I'm eyeing this up after a humdinger of a gig.
It's my come-down moment with Yeo Valley organic apricot yogurt.

I've been looking at these leaf pics and all those creases through my stage sweat and I've decided this is GILF cigar porn.

Now I'm off to bed after some Sainsbury's extra mature cheddar to dwell on what I've seen here.

[TJCoro]

Mates, Dudes, and Amigos,

:nerd: I sorry to report, but senor shyster is running a scam:motz:. Clearly the tabacco leaves shown in the pictures are from the infamous counterfeit - The R&J Perfecto Edicion Limitada 05.:mad:

And I should know, I have two resting comfortably in my humidor. A special thanks to senor Goldencigars, and those other two guys for exposing the fraud.:noidea:

Nice try, senor CJ, but no fine Habana puro for you.:damnmate:

:bandit: After all, I'm TJ, TJCoro Dang It! And I know fakes when I seen 'em.

:juggle:

Is snap 3 a pile of ladies' gloves?

[whisky77]

There are subtle clues in the construction smart-arse:41:

CJ, apologies for my bipolar rant yesterday;as you can probably guess I am not counting patience as being one of my virtues.

I have subsequently reviewed the subtle hints and I think I may have a maufacturer, but not the cigar, although I have a theory.:biggrin1:

Requires some more investigation!

[cj121]

No dramas Mr. Whisk (just a like for like response mate):smile:

Admittedly, a pile of sh!te which doesn't resemble anything like what we normally stick in our gobs will be almost impossible to visualize:wacko::confused: But I'll be dropping some stuff in to stimulate the grey matter. I'm not giving the stick away:tongue:
But remember chaps, lets not get too serious eh:smoke:

It isn't a panatella is it, or a churchill? Look at the size.

*Shit-tip No.1: I took this baby apart meticulously, are there any cap leaves in the picture? Is there fook:41:

Cryptic clue.

[Stevieboy]

Excellent compo Chris!! I'm lovin' it :)

Here goes : Bolivar BF - 1 x wrapper, 2 x binder, 9 x filler????

[cj121]

How did you get there Stevie? I've also popped the same question to The Dawg.


There's been a few entries and educated guesses, some very. What I would say chaps, is go with your instincts and have a play as there is the ultimate combination of stick plus leaves.

[cj121]

What makes you think that KDot?

[Stevieboy]

How did you get there Stevie?

Good gravy!! I've to show working as well :p

From the length, it's shorter than a piramide so seems to be either a belicosos or a short-belicosos. I can see the wrapper is one piece and what looks like two binder leaves, the amount of filler leaves is a guess:confused:

Hmmm?! What are you getting at?!?:rolleyes:

[whisky77]

This is absolutely doing my head in!I keep reading through the entries and everytime I think I have a lead it seems to go nowhere.!

OK, here goes, clue = Hot Dog = HD:wacko: = Hoyo.:der:

You said "Feast your eyes" and I`m thinking Hoyo De Gourmet and I`m thinking 18 leaves ,since I think the brand was founded in the 1800s.

Some quality deduction there Holmes!! Nice work....mebbe :p Who knows how CJ's brain works!??!:eek:

[Stevieboy]

CJ - how many guesses are we allowed? Has someone got it right yet?

[whisky77]

Another clue CJ? go on, you know you want to.

[cj121]

CJ - how many guesses are we allowed? Has someone got it right yet?


As many as you like Stevie:biggrin1:, no max

[larrysputnik]

A Dippy #2.

32 pieces. :849:

[cj121]

Another clue CJ? go on, you know you want to.

In time Mr. Whisk:smile:
Judging by the activity, maybe I don't need to!

[cj121]

As many as you like Stevie:biggrin1:, no max

Actually, I'll go with consensus on how many votes. What would people prefer?

[nicwing]

I would suggest 3 tries each up to the middle of the month, then if it hasn't gone, 3 more to the end of the month.
Hows that?

[whisky77]

CJ, a flash of inspiration there after lunch.

MC Sublime and only ten leaves?

Where`s that other clue?:der:

[Major_Tom]

From the 5.5" length and taper it's a Beliscoso.

Either the Bolivar Beliscoso, RyJ Beliscoso of the Ramon Allones Beliscoso.

Between 16 and 18 leaves?

And bamboozled by your clue, the only thing I can think of from it is either 6" length (when the ruler says no) or a havana-sandwich style manufacture. Bolivar was spanish, not german, so its not a frankfurter reference... erm.

Or possibly this stick should be smoked between a fresh bap?

[cj121]

Hey, nice to see some lateral thinking and showing your working out. That used to get extra points at school...if you were right:41:

The clues are part of the game, which will be down to interpretation ultimately. I want to play a game, do you? (in best 'Saw' tones:eyebrows:)

[whisky77]

Got it CJ, finally got it; its a........................bollocks, lost it again!

[cj121]

LOL, Mr. Whisk. You've definately got some b*ll*cks (as your first couple of posts illustrate!), but to lose it again, tsk tsk:smoke: Good on ya mate though:smile::biggrin1:

[Stogiedog]

CJ I think my educated guess was correct? You said no cap a Belicoso / Torpedo then!!! You then posted a picture of a Hot Dog for me, is that cryptic for the dog is hot for a correct answer????????????? or close but no cigar???

:confused::eek::rock::tongue::rolleyes::cool:

[Stevieboy]

Ok - send me that lovely UppyMag CJ...

...a BBF - 9 leaves. Thank-you :rock:

send it to my work address

[Stevieboy]

What the bloody hell does this mean? Is it some sort of ranking system as to who's the closest!?!?!?

Oops - missed that and, no you're not you weasel :smoke:

[larrysputnik]

It is a belicoso/torpedo. You can tell by the way the "cap" curls around. (At least that's what I would think an unraveled torpedo would look like.)

The red, yellow, and brown colors represented in the hot dog picture represent the colors of the cigar label. (A Diplomatico or maybe a Cohiba?).

I now have to venture another guess: A Partagas P5

And Larry's coming up on the inside there, with a cheeky, but authoritative, offering...
How many leaves Mr. Cosmo?:confused:

[larrysputnik]

1 wrapper leaf
2 binder leaves
28 filler leaves.

31 in all, because 32 is too many and 3o is too little. :41:

[Stogiedog]

I'm sticking with my opening gambit R&J Belicoso..................... However just to edge my bets CJ I also include the following below:

CAMPANAS - 5 1/2" x 52 (140 x 20.64 mm)
BO Belicosos Finos, RJ Belicosos, SC La Punta, SP Belicosos

:rolleyes:

[Stevieboy]

CJ - why did you chop up the cigar in the first place? Was it beyond saving?

[daverave999]

H. Upmann No. 2
25 individual pieces of tobacco

Just going through offerings now chaps.
With a beer and an SC La Punta for company:41:

[daverave999]

I'll be most interested to find out how many pieces it is. I should have probably done 30 seconds research before I took my guess.

[Stevieboy]

C'mon CJ - are we getting an answer tonight!!? I won't sleep unless I find out :)

:heeeelllllooooo:Right. After very careful consideration:toilet:, we have a winner:cheer2:

Things started hotting up with the Dawg coming in with a fine, and exclamatory guess, with the RyJ Belicosos. Great start there Paul, but even with the multi-spread bet (a lil over the three!!), you forgot to mention leaves:confused:.

Stevieboy. Wow, it was almost a winner mate. I was very impressed with your commited answer, from which you did not falter throughout. Only twelve leaves though:( I really thought you'd up the count as I think you knew you were onto it mate.

The spread bet thing cropped up again in the competition and I started to wonder if it was legit in this comp, but couldn't deny the inclusion of a

Bolivar Belicosos Finos, with the combination of

16 - 18 leaves:drum::drum::drum:(drum roll)

We have a winner:

Can you hear me ground control? It's time to leave the capsule if you dare..

Major Tom!

Nice one Tom - not jealous at all (ya bastich! :p)

Damn - so close...can't believe there's actually that many leaves :41:

How did the stick end up so knackered in the 1st place?

I should also say thanks for a hugely entertaining competition Chris. It's going to a hard act to follow
