[SoCal gunner]

Some great lookin smokes in here!! Good ol @WNYTONY hits 30 first with a couple others nipping at his heels- i love it! Anyone find some new favorites yet?

I've had a blast doing it for sure (and not finished yet). The K222 still shines as one of my favorites - not just the blend but the size makes it a consistent and reliable smoke that tastes great. The MBS Karloff makes me want to try the full monster.

The Whore was surprisingly Anti-Tat in that it was sweet and absent of the pepper strength component you'd expect from a Tatuaje.

I'm with @Nature that I'm not sure the Surrogates line fills the spot it was designed to - I think in most cases I'd go the extra $1 or $2 for a Tat. Conversely, working the LATs in was nice as I almost never go to them.

I'm also with @chain_gang that you can go palate blind by having the same or similar thing over and over - I've mixed in a few other brands in and taken a day off here and there.

PS - Did anyone really bet against Tony in this thing?

Pivot Tables @WNYTONY

Will these magic pivot tables tell the the most popular ring gauge of each of the brands smoked ?
What about the average time of day that Limited Editions are smoked ?

So all it did was count the cigars ????

Got to agree with the Surrogates comments. They have never impressed me, other than the Cracker Crumbs.
It's been nice working thru the line.

And I'm not out to win anything - just smoking them thru the month. I'm only a little ahead because that's all I've smoked all month. I have to say though that I'll be ready for something else when the month ends.

It will do more than count cigars.
But, I did not enter RG... difficult enough to determine the specific cigars; ie is it a Seleccion de Cazadores, Miami, Reserva Miami, or Reserva Nicaragua?
If someone could enter RG for me, we could find that. Its only as good as the data input.

LE time of posting? We could do that!

You guys let me know what you want to see! @chain_gang @SoCal gunner ; Prizes? Guess or put in effort to go through the thread for the number of X cigars? Date most number of cigars posted? Day of week for X cigar or most popular day of week? Average cigars posted per weekday? Most popular day for [pick your cigar]? All kinds of options-- this could be fun!

Vitola denotes RG and length (another statistic I'll need from you, Chief). If the Bums didn't say vitola, I guess you'll have to go back and measure all the sticks against other items in the pics to get the vitola - if the NSA can do it, so can you.

Pete is wanting a lot of data, the more I sell, the bigger a payout from him I'll receive. Time of day, day of week and so on are all excellent. I'd also like you to add data points for hands or feet in pics, color of nail polish, and grip style.

You know where to send your complaints.

I think I’ll need a raise!

You know, there are apps out there that can identify birds, plants, insects, etc from images, and they work quite well.
I’m certain an app could be developed to ID cigars from an image. Thing is though, it won’t get into the App Store.

Ok, maybe it could just calculate the total dollar value of the Tats smoked for the month and compare that to the Crowned Heads smoked last year.
Inquiring minds want to know......

That would be interesting! Of course, you’d have to include CPI and inflation adjustments to make it comparable. It seems every cigar I buy is $2-4 more this year than last. Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t you an accountant?
