DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test #4 - Page 10

Samsquanch · 02-11-2011, 09:44 AM

Dan, you've been awesome hosting these four taste tests. That's 80 cigars out of your own collection you've shipped, that's amazing! Thanks again for the opportunity and sorry again for being so lame with it. You're the man!

CRIMPS · 02-17-2011, 09:31 AM

Review of #10 inbound shortly

Brutus2600 · 02-17-2011, 10:01 AM

Looking forward to seeing #10!

CoreyD · 02-17-2011, 12:57 PM

What about us active newbs that havn't bailed. Its a shame to see your generosity get stompled.

CRIMPS · 02-17-2011, 08:19 PM

#10 delivered. Bittersweet feeling.

jesseboston81 · 02-18-2011, 07:23 AM

It's sad to see this thread end. I've enjoyed reading all of them! Thanks to Dan and the reviewers for an excellent job!

Dan, it's understandable why you wouldn't want to continue after the problems you've encountered, but I'm glad to see you're going to think about doing another BTT--just don't think about it on your cruise!!!! Enjoy the time to relax!!

jonumberone · 02-18-2011, 07:30 AM

Thanks Dan for the great opportunity

It was a ton of fun for me and something I will never forget.
Generosity like yours is what makes this such a great place.
I look forward to burning a few with you in the near future!

Enjoy your trip!

CRIMPS · 02-18-2011, 09:10 AM

Thanks, Dan! This was a blast to read and I was honored to participate.

Your generosity can not be understated. Have fun on your trip.

rizzle · 02-18-2011, 09:29 AM

Enjoy your trip, Dan. And thanks for allowing us the opportunity to follow along on #4.

Brutus2600 · 02-18-2011, 10:00 AM

Great thread, great reviews, that final cigar had me drooling! Thanks Dan for the generosity and thanks to the reviewers for their work on this, I really enjoyed sitting back and watching this BTT

Whipper Snapper · 02-18-2011, 10:17 AM

Dan... this thread is awesome. As are the other ones.
I'd be scared to do a blind taste test.

Scared??

Yep. Scared.
It'd be a great way to do unbiased reviews. I'd mainly be scared that I'd rate a cigar poorly that I may have loved in the past... (meaning, I rated the cigar in the past highly due to any number of reasons.)

Blind taste tests are the most unbiased things around...

I've been reading since the beginning of the thread. I think I speak for everybody when I say it has been a very interesting and fun journey. Thank you for your generosity.

Don't forget to check editions #1-3, I believe they're linked in the first post of this thread.

enlightenedcigar · 02-18-2011, 10:40 PM

This is great. Keep up the good work!

hscmit · 02-19-2011, 08:27 AM

thanks for the thread

DBall · 02-25-2011, 11:06 AM

Update on the trip...

...worst vacation ever... all I got out of it was some unnamed illness, a Z-Pack (Azithromycin), a week of feeling like absolute ****, anxiety attacks (due to the unnamed illness and no promise of land for days) and the joy of sitting in a tiny cabin for the entire time. To top it all off, upon disembarkation, my wife's luggage is missing (I think that is coming back to us, though... hopefully before we leave).

Brutus2600 · 02-25-2011, 11:15 AM

That is the worst dude...so sorry to hear it! Definitely doesn't sound enjoyable at all. Hope you're feeling better and you get your wife's luggage back quickly.

CRIMPS · 02-25-2011, 11:16 AM

Wow, sorry to hear that Dan
