To thank those that have been posting on my Falklands Story Threads, this quiz is ONLY open to those members who made a COMMENT on any one of my Falklands episodes from Part 1 – 13 before today. The prize includes Cohiba Lancerous ‘00, POW ’98, R&J Cazadores ’07, R&J Tubos No2, Monte Petit Tubos, Carbon Copy Shorts & some Nubs.
All questions are related to Havana Cigars or Cuba. Regularly used abbreviations on the site are used in questions & answers. Letters & numbers must fit in with the numbers in brackets. Some questions are really just clues for crossword style answers. All answers should be available on the UKCF Site or usual Cigar books/internet reference sites.
Competition will run until Sunday 1st July@20:00 or until someone gets all correct. If nobody gets 100% then the highest scorer will be declared the winner. In the event of a draw, the first poster will win. In the event of any dispute, my decision will be final, just like I tell the wife!
To Score, post on this thread with your answers, list number of the question then the answer, ie just the ones you have an answer for. I will confirm the correct answers as we go along. I don’t expect anyone to get them all, if you get in clear up the easier ones a dozen correct may be enough, if several members get stuck in the winner might have only half a dozen. Anyway have some fun & have a go.
