This Geek Critique is being sponsored by lubrix (Paul).

The Cigar:  Crowned Heads The Angels Anvil

The Reviewers:

1. redjj (John)
2. brlesq (Bruce)
3. Jackal (Jason)
4. sjn1117 (Stephen)
5. junglepete (Pete)

Reviewers will discuss which cigar they would like to smoke for the Geek Critique. Majority rules.

Due Date: October 25, 2014.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule, and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

A big thanks goes out to Paul for taking this one on and providing some great extras. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker2:

What a motley crew!  :meansmoke:

Thanks for including me, Paul.  My vote is for the Crowned Heads The Angels Anvil since it is the newest cigar of the three.

Thanks for the invite Paul! Awesome set of cigars. I'll throw my vote on the Ashton but I am prepared to shift it if a tiebreaker of any sort is needed.

Nice crew for some serious smokes!

My vote is also for the Angel's Anvil.  

I had the Davidoff Nic at Big Smoke last year, and wasn't overly impressed.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

All of them???   Somebody is living right.  If anybody thinks that one of these cigars aren't worth a plugged nickel I have 15 minutes of unused therapy time.

Nice selection to choose from.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Thanks for including me. My vote is for The Angels Anvi, but I must admit I would be happy with any of the three. With a list like that you can't lose.
