This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by 05venturer (Kent).

The Cigar: Camacho Triple Maduro Robusto (5 x 50)

The Hype: These highly complex, intensely flavorful rock star blends come from the fertile soils of Honduras in a climate that rivals the lush Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. Superior, expertly cultivated tobacco leaves are grown at Ranchos Jamastran under the watchful gaze of the Eiroa family.

Camacho Triple Maduro is the world's first all-maduro cigar. Prepare thyself for an explosion of dark, complex flavors. Triple Maduro was created for fans of a full-bodied blend, and this one is packing heat. You can anticipate rich and hearty undertones of spice and earth that are strong and bold without completely decimating the palate. Evenly constructed and especially dark and inviting, this is one maduro you won't want to miss. Rumor has it that the Eiroas had to attempt the perfect blend 84 times before they got it right.

The Reviewers: To be chosen by the Sponsor

1. Ken Kelley (Ken)
2. Fran95 (Francesco)
3. mpurtle (Matt)
4. Camshaft83 (Cam)
5. ntanner Neal

Due Date: November 10, 2015

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.

Thanks again to Kent for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :cigarman:

Thanks for sponsoring this one, Kent.  The Camacho Triple Maduro is an excellent cigar and I'm more than happy to participate. As echoed by others when I posted my November offering for the first two weeks I can't believe you don't have people crawling all over this one.

Folks, the criteria has changed and members who have already sponsored a Geek Critique in the last year will get first crack. Sorry for the confusion. I made the decision before hearing back from the sponsor, my bad, my apologies   :shamebag: The Sponsor will chose his reviewers.

Great idea for the criteria. :thumbsup:

Still looking for a couple more members that have been generous enough to sponsor a critique themselves before I open this up.

I have done a couple already but if you havn't found any body 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.

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