It’s been a long, grueling winter for the cigar world. Many did not make it through the harsh climate, with cracked and peeled wrappers, uneven burns, difficult draws, and smoking sessions cut far too short. The “die hards” made due with what little warmth they could muster, converting small rooms into makeshift man-caves. Room heaters, fire pits, and even barbecue grills would prove to be a necessity, clinging on to the hope that warmth was on the horizon.
Spring is here, and there are many good cigars to be smoked, let’s celebrate!
This weeks contest theme is: Spring themed cigar pictures
Take in a breath of fresh air, clean out your car, plan your summer garden, and make room in your humidor for something new: Antonio Benitez Cigars! These are boutique quality, handmade, Nicaraguan puros, with a clean, sophisticated palate; a perfect companion to start the cigar season off.
Show the Dojo how you’re gearing up for warm weather this week and post your best Spring themed pic on the Cigar Dojo app.
Some examples may be:
- Spring cleaning
- Cigars & gardening
- Smoking in the wild
- Tree hugging (results may vary…)
Be creative, there are many ways to capture your spring fever in a cigar themed image, and we want to see you do it in style! Use cool camera effects, interesting angles, good composition, anything to make your image stand out among the entries.
Photoshopped or not, we want original images! i.e., an image taken specifically for this contest and created from scratch (no old photos, no images from Google).
The crops are already coming in nicely this spring!
So let’s get started shall we?
