Sosa cigars are known for their consistency, superior quality, and rich, smooth taste. Rolled at the famed Fuente factory under the careful eye of master blender Juan Sosa, Sosa cigars are old school, Cuban-style cigars that hold their own in today’s fast-paced cigar scene.
Sosa also manages to stay relavant, with new releases coming out of their factory in Little Havana, Florida. Limited releases like the Sosa Underground feature innovative blends accompanied by some of the craziest packaging you’ll find.
This weeks contest theme is: Design your own cigar
The Sosa Underground features custom art from a local Miami tattoo artist, and that got us thinking, “Wouldn’t it be fun to design your own cigar line?” So let’s have some fun with that idea and see what you come up with!
For this week’s contest, we want to see what your own custom cigar would look like. So weather you draw a custom band, describe what the cigar would taste like, who it would be made by, or what shape vitolas you’d release, we want to see your own custom cigar!
Some examples of may be:
- Draw a picture of your cigar
- Describe it! (taste, size, shape, blend)
- Modify your favs (take a pic of your Padron with an Opus X band!)
- Photo editing apps (take a pic of your favorite cigars and combine them)
An example of an entry might be as follows….
You can draw your cigar idea, use photoshop, or merely describe it! Just include #ENTRY with your entry.
This week’s contest will be judged by the Cigar Dojo staff. Winner of the 1st place prize will be hand-picked by the Dojo staff, based on the most interesting, unique, and creative picture that we feel best encompasses the contest theme. The 2nd place winners will be selected at random!
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).
At Cigar Dojo, we are very thankful and appreciative of our members, and we want to pass on the appreciation in the form of free cigars! This week’s contest will run from Monday, May 6th at 5PM (MDT) and will end Thursday, May 9th at 8PM (MDT). The winners will be announced at some point on Thursday night or on Friday afternoon.
So let’s get started shall we?
And the PRIZES are….
Box of 20 Sosa Underground cigars
A new release by Sosa, this week’s winner will receive a box of 20 Sosa Underground Dar cigars. The Dar is a 5 x 50 robusto, the largest vitola in the lineup. Featuring full-bodied Nicaraguan tobaccos, this is one strong cigar! The Underground pushes the envelope on creativity, with an alternate, light-shaded wrapper cap and a box unlike any other, this is a cigar that must be seen first-hand to get the full experience.
5-Pack of Sosa cigars
Two second place winners will receive a nice sampling of the Sosa lineup, with 2 Sosa Doble Doble and 3 Sosa Underground Delphic cigars! The Doble Doble is a monstrous, 6 x 60 cigar with a delicious Sumatra wrapper. These babies are made by Mr. Juan B. Sosa and are truly fantastic! The Underground Delpic is a neat, 5 ½ x 41 perfecto capped at both ends and sporting a pigtail at the head.
