PCA 2022 Contest Day 3: Charlie’s Not Giving Away Another Sign

I am going to pull back the curtain a bit. This whole PCA Convention & Trade Show is a lot of work. It’s a lot of work when we are here, it’s a lot of work when we go home, it’s been a lot of work for the previous 20 days. And because of how much work there is, sometimes, things get sort of lost in the shuffle. A couple of weeks ago, I saw the email from Drew Estate come in with the list of prizes and didn’t really read them. I just saw Drew Estate had picked the prizes, Drew Estate had sent me pictures of one of the prizes and it was one thing I could cross off my checklist.

And I want to be clear: I’m really thankful for Drew Estate for sponsoring our trade show coverage. The company is super supportive, Drew Estate is easy to work with and whenever something goes slightly off, the team at Drew Estate takes it in stride. And historically, Drew Estate’s given us awesome prizes to give away. For example, last year the company gave away a bar that was way too big for someone’s house and probably required a semi-trailer to deliver it.

I think the sign is pretty cool and it’s not going to surprise me to learn that it’s a lot cooler in person. But here’s the thing—I should have said “let’s give away one sign and something else for the other two days.” So this one is on me and not Drew Estate and I’m going to make it right.

I’ve got some cool Drew Estate “stuff” that I’ve been graciously given over the years. Drew Estate’s marketing team is so generous that a few years ago I asked them to stop sending us “stuff” because the amount of “stuff” was so overwhelming and getting difficult to store. (Seriously, one time they sent us four—one for each writer—standing ashtrays without notice. The UPS delivery driver was not having a good day.) After this request, the Drew Estate marketing team seemed to think it was funny to send more “stuff” just to screw with us and the UPS driver. I’m going to be honest, there’s a limit to the number of Undercrown 10 Humidors a person can have.

Here’s the deal, I don’t know what I’m going to send you but I’m going to put together a prize pack. I don’t know what’s going to be in it—probably not a Standing Ashtray, maybe an Undercrown 10 humidor, probably a humidor, definitely some travel humidors (plural). What I do know is that if I can’t find enough cool items, I’ll just steal some stuff out of Brooks’ office.
