May Contest/Giveaway Begins Now! | Cigar Reviews by the Katman

We don’t need no stinkin’ once a year PCA swag. Not when Cigar Page steps up every friggin month. Why? Because Cigar Page loves you long time. That, and I have Alex Gougher’s twin sons held captive on the Isle of Lucy.

What will one lucky boy or girl win?
10-pack Dunbarton Umbagog Toro Toro: $117.00
Wabash Tannery Barrister Leather Travel Humidor: $130.00
Cigar Page Chimpo Deluxe Ceramic Ashtray: $30.00
Cigar Page Dog Toys – Set of 3: $10.00
Les Fines Lames Le Feu Brick Lighter – Champagne : $139.00
Katman Stickers and Fridge Magnets: $Priceless

Total Value: $426

What gyrations do I expect from you? Dealer’s choice. Leave a comment. I will pick the winner via random generator (wink, wink). I promise not to create a 13-minute video showing how the winner is picked.

Today’s brouhaha marks 7 months before I pack it in for good. Only 6 more contests to go after this one and you won’t have the king of the roost to kick around anymore. But I will surprise visit every subscribed follower just in time for dinner on a weeknight.

THE RULES:
1. Winner must live in the contiguous U.S.
2. YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR FULL NAME IN YOUR COMMENT. IF YOU FORGET, OR DON’T PAY ATTENTION, YOUR ENTRY WON’T BE COUNTED.
3. One entry per person. Make it count.
5. I moderate all comments so if you don’t see your memoranda immediately, chill out a little bit because I promise I will post your entry. The usual suspects sites that have giveaways also have teams of fellas to monitor comments. The katman is just one little, shriveled, demented old man. So, show some patience. Pretend you’re not a cigar smoker.
6. Contest ends May 5, 2026, at noon CT.
7. Good luck.

And whatever you do, don’t subscribe to my blog! It has no influence on my pick. But if you do subscribe, I promise that I will put your kids through middle school.

Afterthought: The owner of Cigar Page has no idea that these giveaways happen. He is living on his yacht in the Strait of Hormuz trying to buy some gas for his boat. If anyone tells him what we’re doing, you’ll have to deal with my wife, Charlotte. She was born, raised, and educated in Germany. She went to Catholic school in the 1950’s. The nuns wore armbands…so you really don’t want to mess with this broad.

Have at it…may the best hominid win.

  31. I am a recent subscriber and I must say your website Makes Cigar Smoking Great Again! I think we are in a bit of a golden age for cigar lovers. The Government so far has not put a lid on us. Careful shopping can reveal many dimes on the dollar deals. In Florida there is a state law forbiding banning smoking on beaches! Thanks for pointing out good deals in the sea of marketing confusion. Also thanks for your keen reviews. Dan Roseliep

  78. Good morning Katman! I have been following your reviews for a few years now. And it pleases me greatly that my palate and yours are symbiotic. I’ve never found a cigar you like that i don’t and more importantly ive also never found a cigar that you don’t recommend that I like. You will be missed by me! This is Bill Marr and no I’m not that other guy using my name! Now I’m back to listening to some Delbert McClinton.
