Volunteers needed for blind reviews

Cool idea, Todd. I just posted so I could follow the thread.
I'm excited to see how it plays out. I know you'd trick me, but I like to think I'm pretty good at picking out "what's what." I wouldn't want to go blind and spoil my overestimation of my talents.

I am curious to see what others think of things I like.

This isn't to trick anybody.

Actually, if there is any goal in this, it is to get people to smoke cigars without any presuppositions. Too often, knowing the cigar, we smoke them with preconceived notions of what we'll be getting out of it - what flavors will be present, it will smoke, strong or mild, big or small nic hit, etc...

This is an opportunity for some people to sit down with some smokes and rally taste them.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

This seems to be a very true statement, with myself included. A friend recently brought me back a stick that I figured would be a dud based on band (they were trying to rip off cohiba) and price. Turns out it was a great little stick, and one I would never have picked up due to preconceived notions.

Looking forward to keeping tabs on this thread. Good luck reviewers.

If one of you wants to post a pick of your cigars when they arrive - that's cool. Of course, you could all post a pick of your "5" cigars to review.

Got mine today. Of course with inmate math 2+3 does not equal 5, it equals 6

Just remember to smoke them in order.
