I heard that Pete Johnson was going to randomly toss one uber-rare, solid gold, transforming into a motorcycle, talking, painted, tattooed cigar made from twenty-three different tobaccos into 3.1415 regular production boxes of cigars each year.

But then some jerk on the w00t.com forum whined about legalities and so he couldn't.
