Do Our Prejudices Show?

Why so many sticks? we do a blind review on another forum with pipe tobacco and cigars. a fiver out of your personal stash would be enough I think. sending diff. vitolas of the same would be expensive. send him one vitola, get him interested, and he seeks out the others on his own if he enjoys it or just sticks with that one. he would in turn send out five of his own out of his humi. The only real cost to play should be the postage for each send. post everything here on your thread so everyone keeps everyone honest, and keeps interest with constant bumps.pics are always fun.

This wouldn't be a blind taste test to get the reviewers to try something outside their own experience. This is beyond that. This is a review panel to get some perspective to all of us. Frankly, I have done exactly what you are stating, been the one sending out the sticks - been on the receiving end. Even did one where I sent out 5 different stick to 3 different people to see how they compared the same sticks. With one cigar of a particular vitola, sometimes there are issues, every once in a while a cigar escapes to get into our hands that is completely unsmokable. More than one cigar of a sample will hopefully alleviate that.

Hey, if you don't like the idea, you don't need to play.

no,no,no, I think you took it the wrong way, it's not that I don't " like" your idea, I thought you were trying to get a feel for some ideas or feedback of what has worked in the past and what has not. I apologize, after reading through you post it seems it is a little different than a "taste" test.

Nota problem, it is forgiven.

If you, or anybody else is interested in getting in on this, look in on the other thread.
