UPDATE: This contest is now over. We received literally hundreds of fantastic entries and we want to thank the entire Dojo community for all the great submissions. We would also like to thank our friends at JR Cigar for supplying the fantastic prizes. All of the entires including extra credit entries were placed into a hat and three winners were picked at random. Jack_H was the winner of the box of Four Kicks, Wisco was picked as the winner of the box of JD Howard, and last but not least Waltah was the lucky winner of the box of Headley Grange.
July has only just begun and already we’re feeling patriotic here at the Cigar Dojo headquarters. Red, white, and blue decor hang from the walls, and already we’ve dug out the old box of pyrotechnic explosives.
And while blowing up toy army men feels about as patriotic as it gets, we believe the ultimate show of freedom is firing up a boutique, hand-made cigar!
This week’s contest features an extra special giveaway of American proportions, thanks to our friends over at JR Cigar. When we asked for boutique cigars to give away, they responded with some of the biggest and best prizes featured on Cigar Dojo to date! Of course you all know JR Cigar, the massive online cigar retailer with one of the largest collections of boutique cigars available. They even offer Dojo members their own sampler pack, featuring 9 of the most popular cigars smoked on the Dojo app!
This week’s contest theme is: Patriotism and cigars

So let’s get started shall we?
And the PRIZES are….
Box of 24 Four Kicks cigars
Excited yet? Keep reading! Our winner this week (1 of 3) will receive a full box of Crowned Heads’ Four Kicks robusto cigars. Sporting a retro Americana box, complete with an old school western design and flintlock pistols, the presentation is a perfect representation of the brand’s roots in Nashville, TN. The cigars themselves are manufactured at Tabacalera LaAlianza S.A., in Santiago, Dominican Republic – aka Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s factory. With a Habano Ecuador wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and binder, the cigars showcase a classic Cuban-esque profile, with notes of cedar, barnyard, leather, and spice in the nostrils. Expect a medium/full-bodied smoke with enough complexity to balance its strength.
Box of 24 JD Howard Reserve cigars
Another 1st place winner will receive a full box of 2013’s JD Howard Reserve cigars. Scoring a very high 90 points in our review last year, the JD Howard Reserve also placed at #8 in our Top 10 Cigars of the Year list. This is a rustic cigar with flavors of hickory smoke , charcoal, bacon, cedar, tree bark, and even some buttered squash (for those that like to get experimental with their palates). The winner will receive a box of the HR50 vitola, a 5 1/2” x 50 robusto.
Box of 24 Headley Grange cigars
And finally, our third “1st place winner” will win this box of 24 Headley Grange Dobles, a 6 1/8″ x 50 toro cigar. As many know, Crowned Heads’ brand runner Jon Huber often has an interesting story behind every cigar he creates. With the Headley Grange, the inspiration was drawn from Led Zeppelin’s ‘When The Levee Breaks.”
“The goal was audacious and completely original: to make a cigar that tasted like the heavy, pounding drum beat on the lead-in to the Led Zeppelin classic ‘When The Levee Breaks.” – Cigar Aficionado Magazine / The 25 Best Cigars of the Year 2012
This cigar represents Crowned Heads’ second release – it offers a milder side to Crowned Heads, while still retaining a ton of flavor. Expect notes of aged tobacco, cedar, spice, and an occasional sweet chocolate backdrop.
NOTE: This weeks winners will be picked by the Cigar Dojo staff. We will be judging the images on artistic quality and best overall image that fits in this weeks theme. Entries and extra credit will add to your chances, giving you a better shot at being picked.
