OK, well I thought I would test some of your knowledge with the following quiz and just to keep people informed about all the differences of Cigars. I have made 20 questions in relation to C.A. video blogs. When reading the question, just keep your answers on the reply page in the corner or, on a piece of paper, write down the answers then place them on the reply page so you do not see the answers from other people. This is just a fun way to test your knowledge and try not to cheat and we will base this test on your honesty and morality. Once the answers are complete send as a reply and then if you want to check other peoples answers you can do so. I will submit the answers on the following Sunday when I also create a new quiz. Try it out and hope you learn something. The questions will vary from strength and may include everything about C.A. people to history and cigars. Prior to your answers, if you don't mind, just give me a thought how you liked the quiz. Good luck and no cheating.

Can't say I care enough to look any of this up. If you are holding a contest, as some here do, what is the prize for the winner? How does knowing the following make us "efficient cigar aficionados", do you mean proficient?
"What are the top three cigars for 2008, rated by C.A.?"
"Who is the European Editor for C.A.?"
Knowing Marvin Shanken's middle name makes me a better cigar smoker?
Are you still trying to suck up for that job at C.A.?

you know if you put that time in to maybe answer some of the questions you would have been way better off i would say. Also if I was to suck up for that job, I would send exotic cigars everyday to the CA people and offer to clean their house for free in a french maid outfit. That may actually get me farther from the job. Also this is a general knowledge test, you don't have to look anything up if you don't want to and this is just test one FYI. As for the prize, i guess you will never find out what the prize would have been for the first set of correct answers and for second and third place.

Good job Smokingjoe, that's the CA I know is on here!!!! And now that puts Steve in second place. I see you are from Mass, I was there in New England area or Springfield at their Smith and Wesson for training. A great place you have there.
