Same stakes as last year It's just 5 cigars for 7 months of fun! We're hoping to get a few more teams. Commitment is 5 Cuban OR Premium non-Cuban cigars for the season.

Minimum of 8, maximum of 16 teams, Head-to-head scoring, live draft with ability to pre-rank players if you need to auto draft.. Draft order will be random and snaking. We need an even number of teams due to the head-to-head scoring.

Payouts will be to 1st and 2nd place, and possibly the regular season winner as well if we get enough players. This is a commitment, please do not express interest if you (A) will not be interested in playing a full 7 month season and (B) will not be up for sending cigars to the winners in June of 2026.

We are looking for people who have been at Cigar Asylum for 6 months or more, only so we know the players are in for the long haul. Sorry to anyone with less time here. Priority to last season's players, but plenty of room for new teams.

If you like hockey, this is a very fun way to stay engaged and play with some good people. And yeah, maybe win some great cigars!

For me, if I win, the cigars are a bonus. The whole season is extra fun with this group.

Come on in and join!

Thanks Brett! He's right, it's more about the comradery and competition than cigars....but they're nice too!

We will set the draft for later in the week.

We could use a couple more players if anyone wants to have the best 6 months of their life. :)

I can do Wednesday at 8:00 EST, or the 7:30 on Thursday or Friday.

Looks like we might be running with 6. We will have to decide payouts if that is our final count.

Anybody else on the draft?

Don't follow hockey but I do enjoy it.
You can count me in if you need someone to even up the team count.

OK, John (Malakai) is back, and Dave had offered to take our 8th spot. I'm getting them to sign up before the draft so we can still do tomorrow evening. Awesome! :wo

Hopefully the hockey gods are good to me. Family obligation so I have to auto draft tonight. Yahoo is probably smarter then me anyway. :)

I did a mock auto draft and let Yahoo pick for me. Only potential issue for me was all forwards the first "too many" rounds so my goaltending and D could have been better.

Not sure how that happened, Clay, I'm sorry. Your team doesn't look too bad, and there's lots of so.id FAs left.

Some good-looking teams, should be a competitive season! :tu

Busy week fried my brain

My forwards look good, id like to see my goalkeepers be a bit better, but I can work with this

Yeah, questioning my decision to take Skinner over Demko especially after the stinker Skinner just put up. Lot's of time left!

I hope it worked out with auto-draft. Happened to me last year and nothing I did got me out the gutter...last place all year. I checked to see how well the system thinks my draft ranked and yep still not winning middle of pack if lucky. Picking Fantasy Hockey teams is just not my thing I guess.
