Summer cigar picture competition - Results

[nicwing]

OK chaps, I propose a little artistic picture competition for the summer. I have three good sticks nestled in their little travel tubes for the very best summer cigar picture posted here by the 1st of September.

Hope Robusto manages to get off a good one before he sinks into the moray of depravity that is festival life!!!

Just to kick off here is mine, taken last night as I was smoking a hand rolled number produced by Berta Corzo in November last year while she was living it up in Otley!

[Lee Nub]

I will have to take a laptop to florida now to upload one lol

[G-man]

A better picture is hard to come by so I think we should keep this thread alive throughout till September end and see who has the best photo .

[Habana-Habanos]

This is really good, does camera quality matter?

[Pandyboy]

Nice one, I'm off out to the New Forest for some snaps.

[Boss Hog]

I think I may be able to rustle something up for this as well

[Simon-JG-hr]

Very nice Nic. I'm not sure what it is, but something about the sillhouette and the hill-side lights kind of made me think of somewhere close to the Med.

Even I'm not sure if I really worked that out, or just guessed in my head and am now bullshitting... :hmmmm:

[Stevieboy]

This isn't me but my mate Graeme (Giga). It was a sweltering day in Munich and we were having a beer and a fat one at the Olympic village. G had forgotten his shades so naturally put his wife's handbag on his head to block the sun lol

I know. He'll do anything for a laugh. Point a camera at him and he'll put almost anything on his head and demand a photo :)

[Lads2000]

Here is one from me out to sea enjoying a nice trini fundi between UK and Ireland on a recent cruise.

[El Catador]

Nice idea for a thread, me likey!

Just a quick question though, is there a limit to how many entries a member can post?

Also, I think the following is an essential piece of music that should be played whilst viewing the various entries:

vCtx-O1NgX0

[seanbeer]

one entry / memeber? or unlimited entry of photos?

A COUPLE OF PICS FROM ME BIRFDAY:smoke:

[Simon-JG-hr]

Here is one from me out to sea enjoying a nice trini fundi between UK and Ireland on a recent cruise.They do Irish Sea cruises!? :eek:

I'm off sailing next week, so I'll try and get a salty seadog action shot...

[CloseEmBoth]

Salty Seadog Action Shot.....

Mmmmm, not sure if I want to see that

:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

[Lads2000]

Lol yeah the cruise took in Ireland (Dublin and Cork) Spain ( Bilbao) and France (Brest). As well as the trini I experienced my first behike I had a load of trouble with burn but I think this is cause it was very windy at the time but the flavour was immense. I have a wedding to go to next week where I plan to smoke another and hopefully give it an environment better than the ships balcony. So can not wait.

[Mrs Leper]

I'm in on this :)!

[nicwing]

My compo so I make the rules.
- Any number of pictures per person.
- Must be your picture (By you of of you)

Er that's it for now.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Surely it can be a bit tricky to take a picture of yourself. (Apart from those awful, at arms-length things which people only do when they are really, really pissed... or stupid...) :tongue:

[satch]

I was smoking a Nub as I took these a couple of weeks ago.
About a mile west of Sheringham.
Next time I'll put a cigar in the frame somewhere!

This was taken while sitting on the upper balcony of the John Rutledge Mansion while vacationing in Chalreston, South Carolina.

On a side note, I took this picture because as I sat enjoying my cigar and Port I was having a good laugh at the fact that every other minute or so tourists would stop and snap pictures of the house. No doubt they thought I was some sort of rein-actor; what with the grisly summer beard and cigar and all. :smoke:

[jibjob79]

Took the dog for a walk to cool off by a local stream (apple dumpling bridge). Not sure if he or the ducks appreciated my diesel shorty but i certainly did. Just have to watch him when i'm smoking and give him a treat as he sometimes thinks a cigar is a nice rawhide bone and i can't afford the two of us smoking lol

Wow! What a view! :smile:

[r0lan6]

This is a good photo too! Looks North Sea than Pacific, but nonetheless pretty good!

[r0lan6]

As it was your birthday we should allow more than one pic from you! The 3rd one is definitely a good one!

Look, just because my sexy hand isn't in the photo stroking a cigar doesn't mean my pics are disqualified! :eviltongue: ...Does it?

Some nice photos there eggopp - I like the one next to the river (and, of course, the cake, beer and coffee pic...).

However, I'd like to refer the first photo to the competition's adjudicator and request that it be considered grounds for disqualification... :eek:

Great shots! How small was that cigar in the 3rd photo? :eek:

[Gordonbcb]

Just back from 2 weeks in the south of France. And enjoyed a few cigars whilst drinking the local plonk - and didn't take a single cigar related photo.

So instead, my summer pic competition entries are from walking the dog 2 minutes from the house and from the back garden.

[PoohBore]

You could have given the Beagle a stick - they like a smoke.

[cj121]

Well spotted Eugene:biggrin1:

Moth's pictures look great BTW, brilliant that colour/mono one:thumb:

[Big J]

Best one so far, for me...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Ditto!

Great picture Moth!

[Simon-JG-hr]

And we have a winner! Everyone else give up, just enjoy smoking your stogies and put the cameras back in their boxes...

High quality photos Mr Mothman. :thumb:

[the mothman]

Thanks for the comments guys, I had a vision of what type of image I wanted to capture and those 5 are the ones I was happy with out of about 250 taken, loads of puffing to get it right which was great. :smile:

[Pandyboy]

Great pics Mr Mothman, I'm loving number 2!!!
Keep em coming.

This is in a league of its own,professional quality-may i be the first to congratulate the winner

[Drewmidorn]

That is indeed a great pic!

[nicwing]

Good Mothy but there is still nearly half a month to go.

I think we should see the Moth Man's efforts as a way marker to an even higher standard all round.

Here is my latest effort. It's a true English Summer picture, here I am smoking a beautiful HDM No 2 in the wonderful weather on Saturday morning at the Cropredy festival in Oxfordshire.

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww24/Humbert_bucket/IMG_8972.jpg

[Drewmidorn]

Thats brilliant! lol

[nicwing]

What you don't see is a foaming pint of rapidly diluting 6X in my hand. The Cigar smoke really pissed off the fascist gin and tonic folkie lady 3 folding seats and two leather hats to my left!! She moved, I followed and she had the bloody nerve, in a field with 20,000 other un-washed people in it, to tell me to piss off and smoke my cigar somewhere else.

Haaaa Haaaa!

[Drewmidorn]

Now thats a job well done!

Ok here's a few from me. First taken in Benidorm, second & third in Caple & last one taken a couple of wks ago nr Bath. You can tell it was a fine English summer's evening on the account that we could sit outside at all. The the rain finished about an hour before we wanted to go out & the ladies were swathed in blankets. And Boli CG '02 was suberb.

[satch]

These photos we're taken just outside Spurn point near Hull

Found this really strange little bench in the middle of nowhere with the whale's ribs behind it.

Day and a half to go.

My latest attempt:

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww24/Humbert_bucket/IMG_9147.jpg

For those of you interested it's Studland Bay (Dorset) - the small beach, and that it one of Hamlets latest, rolled for me on Thursday evening at JJ Fox. Oh and it was absolutely fantastic, floral, almost herby and tasty to the very last.

I couldn't leave it and managed a caught and bowled while it was clenched between my teeth. Never missed a puff.

And here's near the end of my holiday.
Killing an hour backstage before playing to a voracious and sexually charged wedding marquee full of tumbling breasts somewhere in Kent. This was in a scratch band. No clue what was coming next. Relying on ears and wits. I have to say it's my favourite way of playing.
This was an NC and I've forgotten its name but it was a very rich smoke.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h304/elton1984/cigarpregig.jpg?t=1283217126

So that's my holiday in three cigars. I could have made it hornier but bollocks.

Cigars beat Prozac any old day.
I shall patent that, thank you.

[HabanoSy]

Great pics Robusto... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy

[El Catador]

Right. . . Pictures taken.
Not too late am I?

I have three good sticks nestled in their little travel tubes for the very best summer cigar picture posted here by the 1st of September.

Phew, just hours to spare.
Now, what are the rules again?


My compo so I make the rules.
- Any number of pictures per person.
- Must be your picture (By you of of you)

Er that's it for now.

O.K. I think I can do that.


Surely it can be a bit tricky to take a picture of yourself. (Apart from those awful, at arms-length things which people only do when they are really, really pissed... or stupid...) :tongue:

Humph! How dare you Sir!

Sorry, no idea how to embed these into a post, so will attach them like so . . .

Oh yes, just for a bit of background:

The pictures were taken on the West coast of Scotland last week - as far West as it's possible to go in a car on mainland Britain - and then a bit further - quite a bit further as it 'appens, on foot!!
Over a stream, up (and then down) a bloody (almost shear) cliff-face to a renovated 'crofters' cottage.
All 'Mod-Cons' included. . . assuming your definition of 'Mod-Cons' is a log burner and a selection of mouse traps.

You wouldn't believe how many trips it took me to carry my: Coffee machine, DVD Player, Projector, Cases of Wine and fine food etc, over that damn cliff!
Well, you gotta have a few little luxuries, doncha?

[HabanoSy]

Loving the 3rd pic... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy

[Hencore]

Some great pics so far!

Shame this ends on the 1st! I'm off sailing in the med on the 10th September and I'll be smoking some cigars with the boys. I'll take some pictures anyway.

Nice pics El Cat! No 3 is great. :thumb:

By the way, when naming the final picture 'Sun, Sea and Seegars', were you at all thinking of setting it to a tune (one of my favourites when skiing as it happens):
