Stogie Exclusive: Win Tickets to Cigar Artisans 2006!

In yesterday’s post we told you about Cigar Artisans 2006, a Thompson Cigar-sponsored festival of big names, great smokes, and serious giveaways. This year the event is being held on Saturday, September 30 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in beautiful Tampa, Florida.

Tickets normally run $110 apiece for this sure-to-be-kickass event, and each one includes some outstanding giveaways including: 25 premium handmade cigars (valued at $150), an embroidered travel bag, a polar fleece, backpack, ball cap, cutter, lighter, drawpoker, and – to top it all off – another eight-cigar sample pack. All this not to mention the fact that once you’re inside you get free food, free booze, a chance to meet the people behind major cigar brands, and you’ll automatically be entered to win a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Interested? I thought so.

Well, you’re in luck. We want to send one loyal Stogie Guy (and one of his or her buddies) to Cigar Artisans 2006…FOR FREE.

All you have to do is make it there, have a blast, and shortly thereafter send us a brief write-up about the event for StogieGuys.com.

So if you’re going to be in Tampa on September 30 (or if you’re willing to make the trip), simply send us an email stating why you should be selected as the Stogie Guys special correspondent for the Cigar Artisans event. You don’t have to compose a ten-page essay or anything, but you may want to explain (1) a bit about your background in cigars and (2) what questions you’d ask the world’s leading cigar producers.

(Also, it probably wouldn’t hurt to gush about how much you love StogieGuys.com.)

Since our contest closes on Friday, September 15 at 5:30 PM EST – and since we’ll be reviewing applications on a rolling basis – be sure to get your submission in as soon as possible.

And be sure to keep it right here at StogieGuys.com, the only website where you can win two tickets to paradise!
