CigarCraig’s 2016 IPCPR Secret Question Video

For the last few years I’ve done a special video project at the IPCPR show. The first year was the brand’s theme song. Last year I asked who plays the brand owner or manufacturer in the movie about their cigar brand. This year I went a little different direction, and, once again, relied on family to come up with the idea. My son, Corey, accompanied me to the show and was my cameraman for the week, and inspired the secret question for this year’s show. Without further ado, here is the video.

I know it was a bit long, but I hope it was worth the time. It gets harder and harder every year, I almost went with the famous Father Guido Sarducci question to Richard Nixon from 1980, but the more creative option presented itself, and I wasn’t going to wear the priest costume to the show! Thanks again to my son and my wife for their inspiration.

That’s all for today, until the next time,

Winner of the General Cigar New Releases Contest and the 2015 IPCPR Secret Question

What an excellent turnout we had for this contest. Who can blame the 97 people who entered though, it’s a pretty darned nice bunch of cigars! I almost had second thoughts about including some of them, but cigars are about sharing, and it’s as much fun to give than receive. Before I announce the winner (or to make you go to the trouble of scrolling down to see who won), A couple of years ago I put together a montage video from the IPCPR show, and I decided to do the same thing this time around, with a new and interesting question. The whole point is to keep things light and not to end up with the same interview videos that everyone else does. As always, I strive to be different. Credit goes to my wife, Jennifer, for the idea, and thanks to the thirty-something manufacturers for going along with it! So if you have twelve minutes or so, give this a watch, maybe have a laugh.

Contest

OK, so I consulted the random number generator at Random.org and it spit out the number 43. I counted the entries and determined that Matt Wells is the winner! Please send your address so I can ship this load of cigars out to you. Thanks to everyone for entering, I think I’ll have contests on the first Wednesdays of the next couple months, so keep an eye open. If you’re on Twitter, follow @CigarContests for the heads up on my contests, as well as other contests going on. Whoever is running this is doing a nice job of curating cigar giveaways. Thanks again to the folks at General Cigar Co.!
