Need a newb that writes reviews... (Part 5)

[DBall]

READ THIS CAREFULLY!

I'd like a newb that writes reviews and enjoys cigars for a little blind taste test fun.

You need to have around 100 posts, at least 1 or 2 trader feedbacks (a send and receive in the NST, for instance) and to have written some reviews already. I'd like it if you're fairly new to smoking and just trying new stuff.

You'd be obligated to write reviews and enjoy some cigars.. that's about it (painful, eh?).

Post here why you should be the one and link some of your reviews. The way you write your reasons will be considered too... :tu

Do I have too many posts to be considered for this? I am pretty new to cigars and enjoy writing. I have a few short reviews of cigars on the what did you smoke today thread, but would certainly be interested in doing longer reviews with pictures.

Feel free to throw your hat in the ring (although the reviews you link to should be full reviews).


One thing, though, for anyone interested...

Please understand this is a COMMITMENT.

By that I mean, if you get the cigars, please review them all and do so in a timely manner (1 per week or so, if possible) with 5 pictures per review. In prior iterations, I sent 20 cigars (10 to each person) and, in the previous threads, there were issues of people not completing the reviews... it kinda turned me off on doing these. However, this forum rocks and I figure a year has gone by since my last one... it's time to try this again... :tu

[mkarnold1]

I don't have any reviews that I've started a thread over, so nothing to link to. But I think I'll go out and smoke one right now and do a quick review so you have some idea of my writing /review style.

[DBall]

Let's say the deadline for submissions is Monday, 3/19 at noon. :banger

Did you want us to PM you? I'm not "new" to Cigars, but I'm not "experienced" as most of the crazies here.

Nope. Post links to reviews you have posted on this forum here in this thread, please. :tu

[BHalbrooks]

I'll start writing some!
I'm a total newb when it comes to flavors, etc.

[DBall]

For reference, here was the last submissions thread (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=36662).

[jesseboston81]

OH YES! So excited for this thread--thanks for doing this again, Dan!

[lenguamor]

This is a terrific endeavor, Dan. Good luck!

[Reaver2145]

Would being fairly new to non-cubans be good enough.

PS. This (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=54166) one could use some replys too boot.

[the jiggler]

I don'r have any reviews but here is a link (http://www.bubblesoffplumb.com) to my blog. The most recent two posts are not mine, they're by my business partner who's a non-native english speaker with no sense of wit, so ignore those.

My only other accolade to speak of is winning the charmed leaf name the logo guy contest. Which I did, with style.

At any rate, I'm a noob, I can write, and if you don't pick me I'll kick your ass.

[mkarnold1]

This is my first review of a cigar. (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=54186) I will make the effort to do another in the next week or so to give you more perspective. Thanks for the opportunity, a BTT seems like a lot of fun!

[keith_mahoney]

I might be interested in this as I have recently started trying to pay more attention to the subtleties of what I am smoking.
I have only actually reviewed one cigar however but just in my notebook and not on here. I will type it up tomorrow at work and post it. It's not going to look organized and pretty like the reviews on here. It's more just a collection of the random stuff that popped into my head as I was enjoying a cigar last week.

Edit: Oh never mind, I don't have enough posts. I will still put up my review though since the main reason I took all those notes was to post here.

[BlkDrew]

Oh Dan... This sounds like a good time.

[awsmith4]

At any rate, I'm a noob, I can write, and if you don't pick me I'll kick your ass.

I got Dan's back :su

Learn from THIS guy, nostral pics will get you guys A+

[ApexAZ]

I'm still fairly new and wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I think blind taste test would be interesting because I am always looking to try new things. If I can learn something from it, that would be great. If the forum can learn from it, even better. If I don't get selected then let me know if I can help in other ways, like donate some sticks or anything else you might need.

Awesome Dan!

[DBall]

Remember... you guys submitting yourselves need at least 1 trader feedback, a cigar review posted on this board and a minimum of 100 posts. The reason for that is that I want to make sure people are at least sort of invested in the community here. The post thing I may be lenient with, but the cigar review posted here and the trader feedback are pretty important.

[CoreyD]

Thank You Dan for your part in sharing these chances. Now I know I have been here since 10-26-10, I still consider myself fairly new to cigars. I have tried lots of cigars in that time and at times have had my opinions altered on a cigar due to knowing whats in it. I even have gotten set in certain kinds of cigars and its time to shake up the pallet a little with some curiosity and the land of not knowing what it is, so the brain doesn't play tricks on me.

I don't always taste nutmeg ,flowers ,wood chips, or all that jazz and also don't have the best writing skills.I also post what I taste and if my pallet and brain remembers what that taste is,and have posted if I can't pin point the taste. I do however want to get better at my reviews and it has been awhile since I was in the BTT section. I am also active for most part within the community.

So, I would like to throw my name in the hat. This experience will allow me to further my pallet on a unbiased note and get better at writing reviews which in return will allow me to contribute more with confidence to the reviews section.
My examples from 1 year ago.

Now I know a few of those examples don't have pictures but I know by submitting my name in this and wanting to get better at reviews I have made a personal note to self to go all out and post pics with all reviews and really form it into my way of a review and try my best to keep it eye readable and brain comprehensive.
That is all.

[DBall]

Bump... :)

[jonumberone]

When I first saw this thread I was all giddy with excitement.
I knew that 1 or possibly more newbs were going to share the same wonderful and exciting experience I had, thanks to Dball.
I expected to come back to this thread and find page after page of entries.

Aside from the herfs I have attended, my involvement in the last Dball blind reviews has been the single most influential experience I've had.
It paved the way for making the jump from smoker, to hobbyist, to what I now consider a lifestyle.
The greatest reward has been the relationship I've had with Dan since my time as one of his newbs.
Even if it doesn't effect you the same way it did me, you will still be better off having participated, than not!

This is a commitment, though it is not a big one, if you enjoy smoking wonderful cigars! :)
It will take time and effort, but like most things in life that do, you will be handsomely rewarded in the end.

So, don't be shy!
Step up, and let Dan see what you have to offer.
Dan won't hurt you......................Too bad! :banger :D

[Brutus2600]

Here here, I second Dom's words. Dan's newb blind reviews were literally what opened my eyes up to another entire level of enjoying cigars.

Thanks for starting up another one of these Dan...can't wait to see the reviews!

[rizzle]

Aw yeah, Dan is on the prowl. :tu

[DBall]

You guys are too kind... :)

I don't see any reviews from you on any of the links you posted (other people can have things on different page numbers). Could you actually link to the specific post? As for the link you put in the word "review", that, too, leads to page 47 of the BTT thread.

[Blak Smyth]

I would like to be considered for this, I still consider myself new to cigars. I have been smoking cigars regularly just prior to joining CA. I have since smoked hundreds of cigars and while I do not have a refined palate, I am able to pull some flavors out of a stick. I started doing reviews when I first started smoking and really enjoyed how reviewing a stick really forces you to concentrate on it. I am interested in doing some more reviews now that the weather is getting nice out again. Here are a few reviews I did early on, after reading through them I can see how much my preferences and senses have changed. Thank you for the consideration and the opportunity you are offering here Dan, I look forward to the challenge if accepted. I am not a writer and I only have my iphone camera, if these limit me to not be accepted I understand (or if I am not as newb as you are looking for). Thank again.

I am looking for someone to take my 5er and then I will do it again if possible
this BTT just seams like a lot of fun in the past and I would be happy to give it a try

[mkarnold1]

I am going to bow out of this BTT contention. Spring is a very busy time and I'm not sure if I can find the time necessary to do reviews and post them. I would rather sit back and relax with a cigar than think about the different flavors and take notes and such. Thanks for the thread and I will definitely look forward to reading the reviews of the folks that get picked to do this.

I'd like a newb that writes reviews and enjoys cigars for a little blind taste test fun.

You need to have around 100 posts, at least 1 or 2 trader feedbacks (a send and receive in the NST, for instance) and to have written some reviews already. I'd like it if you're fairly new to smoking and just trying new stuff. I have over 100 post and 1 trader feedback. I have written 2 or 3 reviews so far. I am really new to smoking, In fact I have only tried my 8th different cigar.
You'd be obligated to write reviews and enjoy some cigars.. that's about it (painful, eh?).

This was a seminal experience for me. I'd actually been smoking cigars for over a decade before participating, but this series of reviews really shifted the way I view cigars and help develop my palate significantly. I was a newbie all over again!

I'm pretty excited to try this if I'm selected. My only reserve is that I might not be able to describe the cigar flavor to well and I more than likely will not have tried anything you will send me.

I'm just concerned that my review of a cigar might not quite be up to par on describing the flavor part of it. I have read some of the reviews and they are really good reviews for "noobs". I am still learning to pick out flavors from a cigar.

What someone calls caramel, I might call nutty or woodsy......

I guess what I was getting at is that while a more expierenced person may say a cigar changes flavors through out the smoke, I might think it's one dimensional only because my taste buds for cigars are still learning.

I might call everything woodsy, but its the subtle nuances that are the difference between a caramel and a chocolate. Nothing really tastes exactly like a apple of instance, but you might get a nuance that reminds you of that.

I know this might not help much, but my taste buds have been developing over time just like yours, I am to the point that I can pick out a few things, but still my buds are no where near as good as some of the long time smokers here.

I find myself smoking a cigar and trying to pick out flavors. Then I go read a review to see if I tasted what he did or what I couldn't quite place.

I came pretty close with my last smoke. It was a Nestor Miranda special selection. I had the same thoughts on the construction but the flavors were a bit different.

vvvvvTheir review

"The first third of the smoke offered some toasty wood notes with a continue underlying sweetness. The second third of the smoke the sweetness becomes a well defined caramel, with a toasted wood remaining alongside for the ride. The final third of this cigar is a total change of the smoke. Gone are the sweet notes, and what remains is wood notes with a touch of toast and earth. The final third of the cigar also offers a nice aroma."

Initally I thought it was an oak sort of flavor, maby a caramel if I thought about it hard enough. Mostly I picked up a Cashew flavor or some other light nut came to mind. The last part was sort of turning a bit harsh or peppery.

Our take was different on the taste but close I think. I'm just having a hard time placing flavors. After I smoke something, I might read a review and it says raisin flavor, Then I will think to myself............Yes, that would be what I couldnt quite place.

I'm still trying to get down basic flavors. But I feel that I am learning.
It especially helps when I can read a review afterwords to see what I might have missed or couldn't place. :2

[dwoodward]

Some people get more out of a cigar than others. While someone might get raisin, you might get apple. They are both similar, but nobodies taste buds are the same. It's not often you see two people get the exact same tastes from the same cigar. They usually differ slightly.

or a 601 red lance...

decisions, decisions...

[ApexAZ]

I don't always get all the flavors that people describe either. In fact, I get a lot of the same flavors in most cigars with the major differences being in which are more predominant.

I have recently discovered some new flavors though. The One Shot One Kill had a clove-like flavor and the Quesada Molotov had a slight minty after-taste that wasn't apparent to me until I read about it.

NO WAY MAN, I'm not bowing out.

I've been having a rough time the last two days. This news lightens my mood.

Thanks DBall, I look forward to it! :tu
