Good for you xddco! :applause:

It was 24 actually.

And my head hurts.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Regardless of the outcome, I enjoyed playing the game and thank you shuckins! :thumbsup:

 

[Soundwave13]

Jeeze... I can only find about 13..

 

[shuckins]

good enough for an entry

 

[dajones]

18? 24?! Wow!

Eek! Just posted my guesses--AGAIN w/o taking into consideration the time shift!

 

[n.olson]

and i had thought matching shuckins was good, man, i'm barely in the middle of the pack!

Entry-time is over: whadja find? In addition to the ones on the official list, I tried to make a case for the following "bonus" names (in descending order of sketchiness):

G and G: (a store-front AND a private-label brand)
Manco: old-timey cigar maker
Waitt: old time brand
Tat: as in Tatuaje
X: as in "Opus X"
Gilles: First name of co-author of Lambert & Davidoff's cigar aficionado book
Tower: cigar store in Cali
Gillesp(i)e: Dizzy Gillespie was a cigar fanatic

Some notes: highly likely that if'n I hadn't been on chat I woulda either missed the scrambles OR put my marriage in jeopardy.

I thought the perdomo and carlosttorana answers were *awesome.* Also: the fact that the text was filled with so many quirks that COULD'VE contained answers really put it a cut above -- lots of false corridors in that thing!
