Summer cigar picture competition - Results

[Robusto]

Teachers get six weeks off.

Here's near the start.
A Bolivar Royal Corona near the end of term and looking forward to switching off.




Here's about half way through.
A RASCC on a dullish day before the Deer Park Stage at The Big Chill started to fill up.




And here's near the end of my holiday.
Killing an hour backstage before playing to a voracious and sexually charged wedding marquee full of tumbling breasts somewhere in Kent. This was in a scratch band. No clue what was coming next. Relying on ears and wits. I have to say it's my favourite way of playing.
This was an NC and I've forgotten its name but it was a very rich smoke.



So that's my holiday in three cigars. I could have made it hornier but bollocks.

Cigars beat Prozac any old day.
I shall patent that, thank you.

Right. . . Pictures taken.
Not too late am I?

I have three good sticks nestled in their little travel tubes for the very best summer cigar picture posted here by the 1st of September.

Phew, just hours to spare.
Now, what are the rules again?

My compo so I make the rules.
- Any number of pictures per person.
- Must be your picture (By you of of you)

Er that's it for now.

O.K. I think I can do that.

Surely it can be a bit tricky to take a picture of yourself. (Apart from those awful, at arms-length things which people only do when they are really, really pissed... or stupid...)

Humph! How dare you Sir!

Sorry, no idea how to embed these into a post, so will attach them like so . . .

Oh yes, just for a bit of background:

The pictures were taken on the West coast of Scotland last week - as far West as it's possible to go in a car on mainland Britain - and then a bit further - quite a bit further as it 'appens, on foot!!
Over a stream, up (and then down) a bloody (almost shear) cliff-face to a renovated 'crofters' cottage.
All 'Mod-Cons' included. . . assuming your definition of 'Mod-Cons' is a log burner and a selection of mouse traps.

You wouldn't believe how many trips it took me to carry my: Coffee machine, DVD Player, Projector, Cases of Wine and fine food etc, over that damn cliff!
Well, you gotta have a few little luxuries, doncha?

Loving the 3rd pic...

Some great pics so far!

Shame this ends on the 1st! I'm off sailing in the med on the 10th September and I'll be smoking some cigars with the boys. I'll take some pictures anyway.

Is 'Sheringham' anywhere near Hawaii by any chance?

It's just that . . . . well, the shirt is saying it's time for a luau on the beach .

I've got a T shirt and combat trousers that clash.
I look like a mobile acid trip.
My missus will not be seen with me if I wear that combo.
I wear it a lot. Arf!

Some great late entries.

8 1/2 hours to go so search your hard drives and get posting boys and girls.

Nice pics El Cat! No 3 is great.

By the way, when naming the final picture 'Sun, Sea and Seegars', were you at all thinking of setting it to a tune (one of my favourites when skiing as it happens):

Warning

Wild conspiracy theory ahead.

Look back at some of the photos and tell me if I'm mistaken.

DJ Otzi (Video above) & 'Satch' (One and the same?).

'Put your hands in the air and reach for the lighters!'

P.S. I'm liking the idea of putting my pics to music - hmnn, I'll have to think about that one.
