I met Jay at the CATS Fest earlier this year, and he was kind enough to sponsor a couple of our GC. For this review, you will be smoking the featured cigar, AKA Hybrid RPM, and another AKA stick as well (not part of the GC, but on your own). I would like to have both reviews done as close to the same time as possible, but the Geek Critique cigar has top priority. If the second review is done a few days after, that is fine, but please volunteer only if you can follow through on this request. The Hybrid is one of my favorite cigars, and I am really looking forward to the reviews on it.

I am going to pick reviewers at random, and will rely on various scientific methods to do so. How you may ask? You will have to wait until my work is published, so just sign yer arses up for the review!!  :biggrin:  :angel:

Thanks for coordinating, Brian.  With this much lead time, you should have no problem finding reviewers.

I would like to try something from them. Havn't had the pleasure yet so if you still need some one I would be more then happy to step up.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

The review of the second one isn't a Geek Critique? So you just want a regular review for that one?
Oh, and thanx. I will be more then happy to review 2 cigars. Heck, if you want more reviewed  just let me know   :biggrin:

Excellent...look forward to smoking my first AKA cigars!  One question...the list I quoted, and the list in the first post don't match...I am hoping that the first list in post #1 is wrong....

Yea, the second cigar is just a regular review, but if it can be done as close to the GC stick, that would be awesome!  :bigthumbs:
