hey you get an extra point for being the first (and likely last) cigars i've seen this challenge. i wish the focus had been on the front of the cigars and maybe down a little lower and closer. 6

ahh.. one of the pleasures in life! on to technical, would have liked a deeper dof and a tighter crop to capture more details and texture, that's just me though.

Is this a collection from Bill Clinton's drawer LOL... Look at this, all sizes and shapes. Monica will be very happy to see this photo.

Joke aside, you did have a good idea, but your execution is very poor with image quality.

the front part is not in focus, you should have used larger F stop (smaller aperture), also you could increase the contrast a bit.
