The Grand Prize winning entry from thanhvnguyen.
Known for his premium boutique blends, as well as being one of the coolest dudes in the cigar industry, this week it’s all about Eddie Ortega. As you may know, Eddie has recently reintroduced Cubao to the cigar world. A fan favorite, the Cubao is an homage to the classic Cuban cigar – quality construction, perfect draw, tons of smoke, and full flavors define this great smoke.
We love the Ortega Cubao so much, we decided to share some of the love in this week’s giveaway, along with a few other tasty prizes…
This week’s contest theme is: Ash Competition
This isn’t your ordinary “long ash” contest, no sir, for this contest we’re looking for the strange, the long, the gnarly, the spiritual… Any crazy cigar ash you can capture is welcome, be it your longest ash, or just something weird and out of this world. Post your crazy ash pics on the Cigar Dojo app this week for a chance to win free cigars!
But hold up now, we all know that every cigar smoker has had that ridiculously long and weird ash at one time or another, and most have taken a picture. You’ll need to be clever, find a way to let us know you took this picture for the contest. Include pictures of the Dojo, the current newspaper, or whatever else you can to let us know you have a relevant entry.
How to enter: Post your crazy-ash cigar pics on the Cigar Dojo app and make sure to include the hashtag #entry, that’s it!
Note: Contest entries should be new, i.e. created for this contest. Any mention of Cigar Dojo in your entry pictures is encouraged – i.e. Cigar Dojo cards, drawings, computer screens, etc…
Be creative! We love to see interesting cigar pictures, use a cool camera effect, angle, filters, lenses, and lighting! Anything to make your image stand out.
