Cigar Obsession Lottery #8, Update 1!
Cigar Obsession Lottery #8, Update 1!
SmokeInn has very generously decided to be the sponsor for at least this 8th CO Cigar Lottery! In addition to the 150 cigars the winner this month shall receive this beauty, a 100+ count unit from SmokeInn – help me support them, they support you!
This is the first update for lottery #8! The lottery is rolling at a 150 cigar stop, so whenever the stash hits 150 I will draw a winner and the next round starts! As always I’ll have regular updates as things come in so you can drool over the growing prize pool 
If you are new, watch the video to see what you could win, and keep reading to see the rules and tips!
HOW TO ENTER
This is going to be completely user driven kind of like the Lotto. However it doesn’t involve money or purchasing tickets with money, instead you are donating to the collective prize pool to enter!
Each time I will accept incoming packages with your cigars to add to the pool, and will update you with videos as entries come in. To add your entry you need to send in a minimum of 2 cigars, and can enter a maximum of 4 cigars, for a total of two entries per person/mailing address. Yes you can put all 4 cigars in one package. Damaged sticks will not be entered.
SHIPPING TIPS
When shipping cigars, it’s ok to use baggies as long as they are packed tight enough so they don’t roll around enough to be damaged. If however you have had any stored too dry, do not include any humification, just ship them as-is. Use a small box. If you already have a box you can ship them 1st class for under $3 just about anywhere. I also like the flat rate priority mail boxes, they are about $5 good to go. Stuff the box enough so nothing moves around and has some cushion if need be. Protect the cigars from moving around in short. Use delivery confirmation, I am not responsible for lost shipments, do not ask me about them. All entries will be shown in update videos.
RULES
NO CUBANS! I’m semi-ok with reviewing them on rare occasion but I will not be involved in any way distributing them.
All participants must be 18+ years of age and reside in the US.
At the end of each lottery I will produce a video showing the random winner being drawn using random.org and the winner will receive the whole prize shipment from me!
Cigars, ONLY, no cigarillos.
Name brand, banded cigars only – no no-name or house blends.
No intentional crap cigars like Ron Mexico or other similar ultra cheap POS smokes. Use common sense, if it’s not a major brand, don’t send it.

Hi Brian,
I just wanted to let you know that I have finally gotten a chance to look through the winnings from Lotto #7 and your shipping solution seemed to work pretty well. There were only a handful of sticks with any damage at all, and those that did, were just light wear on the wrapper, so still perfectly good.
So, if you haven’t been able to get the finger bags, I just wanted to let you know that the method you used to wrap them works well!
Keep up the good work!

Good to hear! I was able to order some, they still haven’t arrived, and are smaller, but I supposedly got 500 of them. We’ll see.
I know this is a little late, but I noticed that there were 37 cigars in this lottery update. How is it that the number isn’t even (or did I not count correctly)?
I probably had one in the #1 bag by mistake. Not to worry though, they all end up in the same box
Gotcha. I was counting to see how many have been submitted already, towards the 150. In the drawing video for lottery #7 you mention that there were some entries which will carry over.
Do you have a count of how many entries there are so far for lottery #8?
Around 70. I don’t count till the end. 4 bags worth.
Oh entries. About 35.
