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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For reference, here was the last submissions thread.

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

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

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

This is a terrific endeavor, Dan. Good luck!

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

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

PS. This one could use some replys too boot.

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

I don'r have any reviews but here is a link 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.

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

This is my first review of a cigar. 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!

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

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.

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

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

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

I got Dan's back :su

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

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

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

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.
