Simon Bolivar's Falklands Cigar Quiz

[Simon Bolivar]

You got it Wardjrz, the clue was in my description of the prize smokes! Crusse, I see where your coming from on No23 but not right yet.

[Simon Bolivar]

I don't know a cocktail called Lonsdale but if oyu can make it, I'll try it

[Wardjrz]

14. Punch Uppercut

[crusse]

5. Would this be a Hermoso No 4 (normally 5 inches 48 ring guage but it's the closest that I could find).

14. Punch Sabrosos? (2011 Asia Pacific RE - I took your suggestion Simon, but I might still be very wrong )

[Simon Bolivar]

Well even getting the question wrong, isn't putting Crusse off! Apologies you're right, it should have read 5 x48 & the answer was Hermoso No 4. As that means you now have 13 correct answers, the others have 5, only 7 left unanswered means you are the winner!
I was genuinely surprised by your first entry having so many correct answers; how did you get No 12? Did you actually know the Kipling quote or did the words just fit?
Anybody, who's reading this & would like to have a guess at the remaining answers please do so, I'll confirm or otherwise tomorrow evening.
Thank's alot for playing Smokey Dave, Wardrjz & Crusse. And Crusse, please remember to memetion when you smoke these sticks & let folks know how you rated them, especially the Piramides & Black Prince which has joined the growing ranks of discontinued lines.

Way to go Crusse!

Sorry if I got a bit carried away...I'm a bit of a pub quiz kinda guy and when I get my teeth into something like this I find it hard to let go! I did do a little research but even so, there are some questions that I still have no idea about. I did remember the Kipling quote - "there is peace in a Por Larranaga".

Many thanks for doing this Simon. It's very generous of you. I really enjoyed this quiz and the fact that I've also won some very nice cigars has made my day. I promise to post reviews of all the sticks that I receive from you. Good luck with writing up the rest of your Falklands memoirs, I look forward to reading them.

P.S. My address is on my profile!

Ah, Pub Quiz guy, that would have helped. Made another error last night though, you won't be reviewing the Party Piramides & Black Prince (that's the auction prize) you can review the Lancerous & POW (eg how did it compare it to it's brother the Churchill) instead.

As I probably won't have much time to night, here's the remaining answers:
4: Punch (wife beater ect)
9: Slenderella (Panto heroine, become annorexic)
13: San Cristobel (all the vitolas named after forts)
14: Punch Margaritas (surprised no one got that)
18: Montecarlos, (the man who broke the bank at...)
23: Trinidad, (Farmhouse was a special presentation box, like a Book or log).
25: Jose Martini (Long before Che & died in action on Cuban soil without murdering or torturing anyone)

Apologies for not having another go yesterday but it was chaos here, the factory was flooded and it was all hands trying to save kit & stock.

A great quiz Simon, congratulations Crusse and thank you again for your superb insightful posts Simon.

Dave

[Simon Bolivar]

Hi Dave, thought you might have come back with some more answers but sounds like events of took such minor considerations. Hope ther losses aren't too great & the insurance pays out - eventually

Great comp simon, and congats Crusse!

[crusse]

My parcel arrived safely today, containing all the cigars mentioned plus a load of Nubs and a copy of 'Battles of the Falklands War' by Darren Smith, which should be a very interesting read. A HUGE thank you to Simon for his exceptional generosity!
