Nub and Cain Contest

[nicwing]

Guys, I am really sorry to be a kill joy but I have had to moderate this thread and Sam's latest comments due to UK Law.

I have been advised and have told Deano and the other moderators that UK law does not allow a company to offer free cigars as part of a competition as it can be seen to be promoting smoking which is against the law.

This also extends to branded gear.

So this competition is now for the Forums 'Top Nub Picture' Medal which Sam will judge.

I had asked Sam to put a close date on the competition but as he hasn't done this in his last post I propose we run until the 14th April and then call on Sam to judge all the pictures posted.

As I do not believe it is not illegal for individuals to gift cigars I will also donate an unbranded cigar which Sam just happened to roll for me at JJ Fox last summer when he was in town to the winner It has been nesling in my Humidor ever since.

I am really sorry about this but you guys need to understand that as moderators we are still learning the law here and we need to keep the right side of the line as I don't wan't to get thrown in chokey!

Yeah I agree, send it to the Nubster, Lee Nub! (the biggest NUB fan on the forum).

[G-man]

Brillant ! Who better to pass out NUb swag then the king of Nubinhan
The one , the only Lee Nub .

[Lee Nub]

Yes not a problem with me, send it to me and I will post out the gear to the guys who entered

[Boss Hog]

Well thats great news.

There's only one man this should goto firstly and thats the one and only Lee Nub.

Why? A little bird told me that he's going through the process of changing his name by deed poll to Lee Nub as well.
Hell, if that dont do it I dont know what will.
I'm sure he wont mind posting it onto to everyone else too.

[Lee Nub]

Sam your a great guy, thanks for stopping by the forum and thanks for your offer. Can I suggest speaking to one of the mods about passing the gear onto jdawg, he can distribute it to the uk members as far as I'm aware

Again thanks for the comp, and thanks for my favourite cigars

Hey Gang!

Sorry I have been CRAZY busy with the Cain F tour starting.

So anyways, I got a phone call on our little contest about freebies and what not with the UK. All I can say is that really sucks. Sorry for my speech, but sucks is the right word.


So what do we do? I still want some cool pictures from you guys enjoying Nubs. So keep em coming.

Also, I really want this stuff to ONLY go to people outside the US. If you guys are in the US, swing by one of my events man! I am touring the country...I'm sure to be somewhat near you this year!

Don't forget to follow me on twitter or facebook.


We will figure this out gang. You guys all rock... (Comment Moderated Nic Wing)


Peace, Love, Nub

Mmmm, maybe Shakespeare was onto something and should have learnt to spell:

The Tradegy of Nub

Sorry to read about the change in rulings on this one chaps.

[jdawg]

Wow! that really sucks!

Sam can still send the swag to me, like I originally offered to handle the distribution in the first place, and my US BOTL and I can share the wealth.

[G-man]

Wow I never thought about that!

Gentlemen,

Since, so many of you on this board have shown so much support to me and the Nub and Cain brands I want to return the favor.

(I have been advised that Sam can't offer Nub Gear Cigars for this competition in the UK, rules are obviously different in the US. We will create a special Nub Photo medal for the winner of this great competition and should Sam decide to give you a big hug next time he is in the UK then that is up to him - Moderated by NicWing, please PM Deano or myself if you have any questions/issues)

Here's all I ask:
I would love to get pictures of you guys with your Cain and or Nub cigars in some of the places around your country. If the pictures are good, I would like to use them in some future print materials. (nubstands are always a great choice with a recognizable landmark)

Hope you enjoy this.

So that means that All the Swag offered has to be sent back to the Co.
and no one will win the swag. Unless they live outside the UK or any country that allows freebies for comps.

Wah, thankya Jerry

Went out on a dual mission today: get some pics in for the thread and have a day out with the family in Stratford Upon Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare: one of the worlds most critically acclaimed writers Not a big fan myself: too many typos in his scripts for me

Anyhow, walking around gave a few opportunities.
The first being a statue of Hamlet, who gazes longingly upon his NUB


Which gave rise to the cigars and subsequent influence for that chilled out moment when things don't go quite right as 'Baldy Man' found out...


Couldn't resist that one

Then we went onto the actual house where the famous bard was born and lived, with Mrs and little CJ in the fore and to the left there...

and closer up...

And even one of the man himself, smoking a 464T Habano...


What was most surprising during the day was a conversation with the curator of Shakespeare's former abode. We started talking all things cigar and the global influence upon the Hamlet cigar brand amongst other things: This led to the discovery that The Tradegy of Hamlet, or just Hamlet as it grew to be more simply known, was thus titled because Shakespeare couldn't spell NUB!

Bloody brilliant post, Chris!!! I really got a good laugh here with the last pic. All were good though!

[jdawg]

i havent followed it very well (at least i havent read it!) but i think jdawg is. i remember reading seeing that early on. if thats the case how long we got jerry? i have a cool one to do, but need to know WHEN! lol

btw really think thats a good one cj!

Well, Sam is in charge of this one. I am sure he will pop in soon to give some feedback on this.

However, I was the first to offer handling the prize distribution, but whatever! Just hope it goes better than other distributions.

[cj121]

Glad you're liking the bard pic chaps

We got really lucky with him being around

[nicwing]

Ultimately it's Sam's Compo. I just said I would handle the prizes (now a wonderful Forum Badge)

I will send him a message and ask him to pop in a closing date.
