I hardly have ever won anything in terms of raffles or other contests. Until this weekend...I joined a gun club about an hour south of home where my in-laws live. My father in-law is big in this club and we shoot skeet and sporting clays. $100.00 bucks a year gets you full use of the clubhouse, lower per round fees and they were having door prizes and a free meal. I figured either way, it would be good to support the club and also help ensure you have a place to shoot. (I hear there are some swarmy types from DC who would like to limit my right to do that-I like to refer them to the 2nd point on the bill of rights :)-but that's another story anyway...)

Well, my luck changed this weekend-That's me holding a brand new Benelli shotgun I won during the event. To keep this cigar related, I did smoke a Punch Gran Puro while helping my pa-in-law smoke chicken during the day.

Nice weekend-lots of good fellowship and food. A couple of nice sticks through the weekend and got to spend time with all of our family members. The shotgun was pretty nice too!

Congrats on the raffle win!

Now, you can join the CS Powerball raffle and lose month after month, just like I do!!!

Don't worry too much about keepin it cigar related with something like this. We just like to see other Gorillas havin' good fortune. Also lots of Gorillas here are gun nuts also. That is one nice shotgun Bro, congrats. :tu BTW I've seen one of those Punch Gran Puros, looked good.

LOL-I'm friends with mike32312 and he was telling me about that. I'm pretty new here and just got started in my first trade tonight. I plan on getting in on the Powerball lottery thing though. Hey, if you lose, at least you are sending somebody some nice smokes...

Congrats on the raffle win!

Thank you very much. And yes the Gran Puros are nice-and not too expensive.

Congratulations!! It sure feels good to win something once in awhile. I like to shoot as well. Seems cigars and guns go well together. Enjoy the new shotgun :tu
