The movie industry has the Razzies (Razzie Awards), so now that we're halfway through the year and the cigar enjoyment season is upon us (even here in Montana), I thought I would take a moment to give my nominations for the 2009 Cigar Razzies.

Here's how it works: Come up with a category (Worst Cigar, Most Ostentatious, Most Misleading Advertising, etc), then come up with one or more subtitles, and finally, the nominations for that category. Or just come up with your own subtitles and nominations for the categories below.

The "winner" will get some of my nominated cigars, plus one that I think is actually good, after a couple weeks.

Here are my categories and nominations to start it off:

Category: Least Flavor / Aroma
Subtitle: I Thought I Already Lit This Thing
Subtitle: Angry Wife: Why Do You Not Smell Like Smoke?
My Nominations: Verdadero Organic, common plastic drinking straw

Category: Worst Burn
Subtitle: Smoke The Left Side First
My Nominations: Padilla Series '68

Category: Worst Tasting
Subtitle: It Only Gets Worse With Age
My Nominations: Montecristo Platinum with 1.5 years in the humi, rolled up grocery bag (paper or plastic)

Category: Worst Band
Subtitle: I Know It's a Dog Rocket, But Did You Have to Advertise It?
Subtitle: What's Next, Old John with a Picture of a Lawn Tractor?
My Nominations: Old Henry, Thompson Tusker

How to vote:
Note the name of the poster, and follow it with the last number you saw for their name, followed by the number plus one: For example, if you see "JohnJones vote #4" and you want to vote for JohnJones, type in "JohnJones vote #5".

Vote for either ones you agree with or that you find humorous.

Have fun!
