    I think you are right Ken but there is an error in one of the answers in the crossword that is the fault of the puzzle. I pm'd Kuzi to see if it affects the other answer on the board.
    If you're referring to 23A, I PM'd him as well, but a subsequent Google search revealed that it is not necessarily incorrect...

    I feel terrible about this, because I'm standing on the shoulders of a giant here, but I still might be wrong (not sure if that makes it better or worse!!). Only made two changes...will pass on some winnings if I get it right, for sure. Kuzi, many congrats on the milestone and many thanks for the great puzzle and contest!!

    Great... So I though about turning this in about 2 hours ago but it could definitely affect the other answer associated with it. Sigh.

  • kuzi16kuzi16 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 14,471
    it has been brought to my attention that i did omit a letter in 23 across. the "real" answer is "NICOTIANA" where as i put it as "NICOTINA"

    you guys got a freebie.

    id rather give you all a free one than try and remake the crossword. it would mess up too much stuff.

    we are still in need of a winner.

    Here it is: My 10,000th post.
    man, are my fingers tired.

    This epic number of posts show how much of a nerd I am, how much time I have on my hands and how much I love cigars, this forum and all the wonderful people here.

    Thank you, cigar.com and Alex, for hosting this forum, where people like me, that love cigars, can come to chat about what we enjoy. Like many here, I have learned and grown in this hobby because of the community here. It started out as a learning tool but has turned into a place that has given me an opportunity to get to know and meet many great BOTLs (BORKs). I hope only the best to this community and its inhabitants that have given me so much.



    In the spirit of giving back I have a little contest.

    of course there are some rules...

    -this is open to members that are in good standing on the Good traders thread or this one.

    -due to the large prize being offered, members must have at least 250 posts. Sorry, new guys. I want this to go to someone that has been around for a while and shows sign of sticking around for a while. I hope that makes sense and does not offend anyone. (questions and comments can be PMed to me)

    -to respond to this contest, you do not need to post a picture of a filled in answer sheet. I understand that many of you dont know how or are unable to post pictures due to the device you use to access the forum. However, I highly encourage you to do so if you can.

    -If you do not post a picture of the answer sheet filled in, you can just post the answers as answers to the questions/hints. Please keep them in the order they are originally posted in as to not confuse me. (I am easily confused)

    -Do NOT post incomplete sheets or answers. If you are wrong, this gives other the opportunity to take your hard work and take the winnings away from you. If you post a response that is complete but wrong then I will simply respond by telling you it is wrong, but not how or where.

    -I have done my best to proof read this thing as many times as I can. But, as I have proven time and again, I am only human. Any errors that have an effect on the game will be dealt with as fairly as possible with help from the forum at large.

    -there are no spaces. Any muti-word answers have the spaces removed.

    -Hints will be given out should this contest drag out longer than 7 days. Only one hint will be given out per day. They will be handed out on a first come first serve basis according to when they are asked for in this thread starting after the seventh day.

    I think that may be it. Any other questions or comments sould be asked in form of a PM and I will respond via PM as well unless it effects the game.

    on with the show...

    we have a winner.

    pilone was misspelled according to how i had it in the game, but it does not effect other words in the game to spell it like that and "y" and "I" are close enough on they keyboard that i can easily see this as a type o.

    the one everyone kept missing was15 down: "AmBack"
    there are only two people that i know of that are on this forum still that were also on that forum (unless i over looked something)
    that answer can be found at the very first page of my cigar catalog. and i quote:
    kuzi16:
    A few of the guys here have asked me to post my reviews on a single thread here on the cigar.com forum much like I did on the old cigar.com forum/AmBack/Eotac/whateverothernameitmayhave.


    so unless anyone has any objections or wants to throw a flag on the play, kaspera, PM me and ill get your winnings out as soon as i can.

  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    Well.. Thanks Matt for the contest, to all the guys who didn't play since there are so many who I am sure could have gotten this as well. I re-read a ton of your posts and most, if not all the answers were contained in the vast catalog of information you have shared with us. Including the first post you ever made here, ( on page 993 of your file) which was about AmBack. Thor was the tricky one for me. I will have to come up with a contest as a sort of pay it forward too since every one who played was only one question away from winning.
