We are looking for volunteers.  Preferably, we'd like to find folks that have participated in 2 or less critiques this year and who are not scheduled to do one in October already.  However, if you are interested in being a reviewer and don't meet these qualifications, please post your interest just in case.

I think that I qualify. I'd like to be considered  :biggrin:

I would love to review this cigar. I've been reading up on GTO and am very curious.

Officially, I've done 2 GC this year as a reviewer and 1 as a sponsor.  If for any reason you'd rather choose other geeks, give others their chance, I won't mind and will sit this one out no trouble.  But if you need me, I'm in.

Mojo, I'd like to see if we can get a few more folks that have yet to do a critique before saying yes,,, or ship to the Great White North again..... :biggrin:

Hey Nathan,

I'd like to smoke this one for the review for a couple of reasons. I can't remember if I've done 1 or 2 this year though. I know it hasn't been more than that though, and I can't figure out how to look it up!

I have the cigars, and they have been packaged up.  They'll go into the mail tomorrow, so you'll have them next week.

If it looks like we need to extend the due date a few days, that is okay by me.  It really depends on how long it takes for them to get into the reviewers hands.
