Volunteers needed for blind reviews
 

I am looking for 3 volunteers to blind reviews. But, I'm not just going to take anybody. I want you to follow a specific format for your reviews. So, before you volunteer, look at the format for review (below) that I would like those who wish to take up the challenge to follow. As you can see, it really allows a thorough investigation of the cigar.

Also, the same beverage must be drunk with every cigar - what that beverage is, doesn't matter, but it must be stated what the beverage is - and you must have that beverage with each cigar. (this is for consistency)

Also, the cigar must be the first cigar each day - what time of the day is up to you. (again, for consistency)

I also want reviewers who have sampled both Non-Cuban and Cuban cigars. It doesn't matter if they prefer one or the other, just that they have sample them.

How am I going to choose my group? Simple. The first three to correctly guess in what months my wife, and two sons were born in gets to play. Just the 3 months, you don't have to specify what month each was born.

Have fun!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Review Format
In each of the categories below rank the cigar with this system
0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality
2.1 - 2.9 = fair
3.0 - 3.5 = good
3.5 - 4.5 = excellent
4.6 - 5.0 = superior

1) Aesthetics: the look of the cigar - oily, coarse, smooth, dry, light, dark, pretty, ugly, etc...

Score for aesthetics:

2) Pre-light Construction: Roll cigar between fingers - soft spots? loose? tight? dense? lightweight? Well rolled? how does it smell?

Score for Pre-light construction:

3) Post-light Construction/How it smoked: Does it draw well, does smoke pull through on its own, do soft spots appear after lighting, burnes evenly? smokes hot or cool? What is ash like? color of ash? flaky or solid?

Score for post-light construction:

4) Flavor and strength: What does it taste like? Full-bodied, med. or mild? Does it taste earthy, spicy, fruity, vegetal, sweet, rich, harsh, direct, floral, robust, woody, green (haylike), acidic, salty? Is it pleasant or unpleasant? Does it build in flavor and/or complexity as you smoke it? Is it bland, flavorful, complex? Did it get bitter?

Score for flavor and strength:

5) Finish/Aftertaste: Finish or aftertaste is the sensation &/or flavor on you palate after each puff, not the taste left after you finish the cigar. Is it heavy - light? Spicy, cedary, fruity, bitter, hot, grassy? Mild - strong? Pleasant or not? Harsh?

Score for aftertaste:

6) Aroma: What does it smell like? Good - bad? light or heavy? pervasive - mild? floral, perfumed, grassy, harsh, woodsy, overpowering, unpleasant, magnificent?

Score for aroma:

7) General Comments: Are samples consistent? Did you particlarily enjoy of with a certain food or beverage? Did they appeal more at certain time of day? Did it remind you of something? Would you buy them? Sum it up as you would to a friends ("That cigar was awesome!") and give it an overall score (this is not a total, or an average of the others - it is you overall rating of the cigar)

Overall score for the cigar:

8) Recommendation: Would you recommend the cigar? Pick one of the following and explain:

I forgot to say how many guesses per day, so I guess I better state that - you get three guesses per day. I will give hints based upon guesses periodically.

Tim & MJ & Tom, having spoken with you all at length live and in person, I think you may know these, or at least part of them. So, I am sorry, but I must exclude you.
