Thanks Pete.  I've actually decided that I'm going to replace myself with another reviewer since I'm doing another one in pretty short order.  

Pete, I'd like to add you to the list of chosen reviewers if you are interested.

um?  If nobody is interested in this one, maybe I'll switch mine to Raji's Untimely Demise.    :-(

Wow, that is a hell of a nice cigar for a Geek Critique.  I'm thinking you folks are in for a treat!

Looking forward to the reviews.  Oh, and Mike, if the reviewers don't want them, feel free to send them my way. :biggrin:

nice smoke, enjoy and i am looking forward to the reviews.
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.

OK, looks like we have three so far (Bruce, David and Nick).  Wescat declined and nominated another Geek so I am waiting to hear back from him and junglepete.  I have the cigars in hand so as soon as I hear back, I should be able to send out the sticks early next week.

One more confirmation from Robert LG (as sub for wescat).  Just need a response from Pete and then we'll have a full roster.

I PM'd Kevin to thank him for suggesting to Mike that I sub for him.  I wanted to do it publicly as well.  Thanks Kevin and Mike for allowing me to play!  This will be my first LGSB of any kind so I am really looking forward to this.

I'd be happy to participate Mike, as long as being in Canada does not present a problem to you with shipping, otherwise picking someone else will not hurt my feelings  :-)

Great!  PM me with some instructions on how I should ship it to you for optimal results.

Got mine today, and Mike included some terrific hitchhikers!  :thumbsup:  All of them are smokes I reallly enjoy! Thank you!

Question about the Small Batch #4:  Is this one we are reviewing the Pelo de Oro wrapper (released in Nov '11) or the Pelo de Oro Oscuro wrapper (released in late June '12)?  There were two releases of the SB#4, and they are the exact same size and almost the same color.  Just want to make sure I review the right one!
