We need three reviewers that will receive this cigar along with the cigar for the late February Geek Critique.  By doing so, you are agreeing to do both geek critiques on time.

Step up fellas, two cigars for one!

Are you looking for volunteers?

Yessir!  But you have to be willing to do both Feb critiques, the Natural and Maduro.

Mojo66, I think you are right, may be tight.  Thanks Kent and Neal for stepping in if needed.  But looks like we have Rammstein142, DonM, and ninfiction ready to join Nirab and myself in this one.  If everyone is clear you have to do both,  I will let Andy know to mail these out tomorrow

I've got no issue doing both, should be interesting to compare the maduro with the natural and I had not previously heard of these so it'll be all new to me. Looking forward to it! Thanks!

I too have just done a critique for January but, would be willing to sacrifice my time to do another. I reviewed the Robusto back in June and found it to be a decent smoke and am curious to see what the Toro has to offer in comparison..... :shades:

Got mine today too, super pumped you even doubled up on them. Once they thaw out (all of 4 degrees here today) I'll get them acclimated and hopefully smoke 1 or 2 this weekend since it's supposed to be in the 30's.

Currently when I go to the link to submit my review there are no cigars/options for me to enter my review. Does this need to be set up manually by someone? When will it be available?

it should say Congratulations! You are a Geek Critiquer this month. Click here to Add A New Geek Critique.
Please be sure to review the guidelines for helping make this a success for all who are investing their time in it.

You should be able to select the cigar and add your review from there.  I just checked and mine is active

When I go there it doesn't say anything, there is a drop down list but the Sindicato isn't on it and the only "button" says "Show Geek Critiques" then the rest of the page is past Critiques.   :confused:
