All of you would be great choices. I will probably make my next one a asylum exclusive so 5 spots will be open. I just enjoy doing these and seeing peoples takes on cigars I enjoy. The last few I have been involved in left a bad taste in my mouth, so I wanted to get people that know price and rarity alone do not a great cigar make.

Not to be rude, I just don't understand what you mean. If it was a Blind taste test, how would they know price and rarity? Did they give it a bad review? Or did they knock it AFTER they were told what it was?

Wayner, it was guys that chase rare sticks and if it's expensive, it's great. When they did the blind reviews they ripped Opus X and Anejos, and blamed that they got a bad one once they found out what they were. Essentially, they walked away gaining nothing from the experience, and never gave any of the cigars a chance. They were so afraid they would say they loved a cheap cigar and someone might make fun of them for it, they ripped them all. So without the band, all cigars are worse in their eyes.

Reviewing is a discipline. That is why I don't mind sending with nothing in return. I know the time and prep it takes to set up to do a well thought out and unbiased review. I enjoy it, as many of you here do. One main reason I am coming here from the boards I used to frequent. No issues with anyone, just no one talks cigars anymore where I used to go.
