Or just the TTT for short. As of today the participants for the first TTT are as follows:
1. newguy
2. Bob Cordell
3. kgoings
4. ljlemer
5. Myself
1. To begin the TTT each of the participants package up 4 cigars with no markings or bands or any other identifying features on them.
....The only rule as to quality or anything is that they not have any sort of flavor added (as in CAO Flavors or Acids). I'm sure that some flavored cigars are good, but they will taint the rest of the cigars, and this will ruin the taste tests.
2. Please label the bag that you put them in with your screen name
3. Ship via USPS Priority with DC to my address in my profile
4. Once I recieve the boxes I will label the cigars 1-5 (removing one of each for myself, and putting one of my cigars into each box) the 1-5 will correspond to the number associated with your name above.
5. I will then place one of every cigar into each of the pre labled bags, rebox them and ship them back to the individuals.
This will save you guys from having to pay for shipping 4 boxes apiece.
6. Once all boxes are recieved we will begin the reviews one cigar a week for 5 weeks.
In the mean time I will write up a form so that the reviews can be standardized. Each week the member who's cigar gets smoked can reveal to the rest of us what it was after each of the reviews is posted.
If we feel like it we can award prizes for those that guess what they've smoked etc... or not whatever seems fun.
We can keep all reviews and such on this thread, until it maxes out and then we can move it over.
Is all that clear to everyone? It should be pretty simple once we get going. I hope this will be as much fun as it seems like it can be.
