I'm sure you've noticed that both Irish and I are hosting giveaways sponsored by AKA Cigars with week. Jay Lundy reached out to Brett and I after we did our "head-to-head" review of the Hybrid and I think it's pretty cool that he is sponsoring both or our sites this week!

It's a great chance to launch Brett's new site and to drive a little traffic my way as well. Let's try to really blow this up! There is some overlap in the contests, so why note enter both? In the spirit of the game, I won't be entering in Brett's contest and I imagine he won't be entering in mine, but you guys can!

    Tbh I found it weird that it was a "person profile" which you must be friends with. I thought it would be a business page that you like. Awesome way for a small company to interact since He writes on walls

    So I was reading up on the whole AKA cigar band ranking thing. Do the winners of the prize have to pick up the prize at the nearest aka facility? If so that would be a hike for some. xD

    For my contest, Alex will be shipping the winnings. I'm not sure about Brett's, but I would imagine he would do the same.

    Rob, haven't had a chance to sit down and review the Respect yet, but I've heard it's a powerhouse from the Eiora facility and also uses tobacco ordered from Davidoff as well and that most of it is Ligero so I'm expecting it to be something fierce! Really excited to try it!

    Jay will ship directly to the three winners from my side of the contest FYI :)

    Well, between these 2 contests, 6 people are going to get to try them... so your chances are pretty good! There is some pretty cool swag to go along with the sticks also!
