I CAN'T Believe It!
 
I won! I won the contest at SMOKE Magazine where I will be reviewing cigars for an upcoming issue. This is so cool! Has any of you won this before? If so, let me know how it went! I am pretty excited about this! I never win anything!

I think Todd (RevSmoke) reviewed for Smoke Magazine a while ago. I'm sure you could PM him with any questions about his experience.

I didn't win a contest to review for them though.

Yes, I was a reviewer in the Spring, Summer, and Fall issues in 1999. I am pictured in the Sum. & Fall issue.

All I can say is, be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Although invited to review for a couple more issues, I couldn't smoke as many cigars as they wanted me to. It is a great way to take the time to appreciate and look for things you might not notice in a cigar.

I did reviews for Smoke Mag for about a year or so, stopping with the last or 2nd to last issue. They send you between 5 & 8 different unbanded smokes, 3 of each. Smoke at least 2 of each before doing the reviews. You usually get about 2 weeks to smoke & review all of them.
If you need any help smoking them, give me a holler.:ss

Congrats! It's nice they let their readers review the cigars. Did they give you a review chart, or are you supposed to wing it?

They provide review sheets so you can follow their format.
