No pressure...relax! Just smoke the cigar and write about what you experienced. Read through a few of the previous Geek Critiques to get a feel for the format then let us know what you think about the cigar in your own words.  Easy as pie! Nobody is grading you.  :biggrin:

Ok folks! We have 5 reviewers now and I will get these sticks out first thing in the morning at the down-town PO since they seem to travel faster from there and we have very little time.  Sorry to put everyone on the spot to do this review so quickly but the cigars have been in my humi since August 3rd and should be ready to smoke upon arrival. Nes Tek has sent me a PM saying he was willing to undertake this arduous task even though he didn't have time to post yet.

Nobody will 'grade' you.  But extensive and scathing criticism (all in love, I'm sure) will flow from the floodgates!

Ready and waiting.  Since the review is due on somewhat of a rush basis, I assume the review link will be ready in the next few days?  Forgive me, it's been a few months since my last geek review.

Don't worry..remember we all have different tastes...to be honest last month I was worried I was being to generous and was going to be the odd man out (but still begging momma for a box of them for Christmas) then the others were right on with me...have fun with it I did and I love reading everyone's reviews...I also find who seems to like the stuff I do and that really helps when I am looking for something different

Nice hitchhikers.  Hopefully, these will all arrive this weekend, which gives everyone a week to get their reviews submitted.  Sorry for the tight deadline!

I believe all cigars have been delivered and should be in good shape to smoke whenever so,,, please try to get these in as soon as possible folks! They still have to be reviewed by admin before posting! Happy Smoking! :smoker:

 If you miss the deadline of September 28th you will be shamed beyond recovery and put on the top of my Shyt List! :biggrin:
