In another thread, bmac7754 suggested the following:

"Here is just a thought about the geek critique. Instead of you handing out 5 of your own collection, if a few receiving would be willing to give up 1. We could make this a team effort on the donations and 5 of us would send out 1 cigar plus the usual hitchhikers to just one person. Seeing we have done reviews in the past during the beta stages, it would be cool to see 5 geeks that have not seen them yet, and I'm thinking the first 5 guys that replied in this thread that they want some. Just a thought I thought a would throw up there. And yes, I would want to be one of the suppliers."


How does that sound?

If that works, what we need is 5 people who were recipients of a box of the Aerials to offer up one for review.  We also need 5 folks to do the reviews (people that didn't receive a box).  Any volunteers?

I will volunteer to send to a reviewer

My contest on this cigar didn't get any traction so Nathan froze it. I am all in to contribute to a GC reviewer

I'd be happy to review it!

I have sent three cigars out already to some lucky recipients!

I'll volunteer!

What a braggart  

Last spot taken?   I'm sorry, I can't count or figure it out.

I'd volunteer to do it if there's spots open, thanks

I would be happy to send one out to a reviewer

So far, if I have interest categorized correctly, we have:

Donation
bmac7754
DonM
Vroomp (TBD)
The Burn Ward
Cfickter


Reviewer
Caveman Steve
mpurtle01
BewareDaPenguin

Let me know if that I have someone placed incorrectly.  We still have some reviewer spots open, but I'm going to touch base with Brad (Vroomp) to see if some of his lucky recipients want to review.

PM sent

Quick update:

BewareDaPenguin, Caveman Steve, and mpurtle01 are all in as reviewers.

DonM sending to Caveman Steve
Cfickter sending to BewareDaPenguin
The Burn Ward sending to mpurtle01

I'm waiting on trades/bombs to land to pick the last two reviewers.  We should have this finalized in the next couple of days.

Awesome thanks cigar geeks & thanks for volunteering to send my stick Chuck appreciate it!

In the interest of time (we are less than 3 weeks from the deadline), I've started contacting folks that have already received one in bombs or trades.  If that falls through, you are in.

BewareDaPenguin - Cfickter to send
