As we approach the end of the year, it is time to start scheduling the 2014 Geek Critiques.  The plan is for me to host any of the following:

Manufacturer/Retail Sponsored Geek Critique
The manufacturer/retailer donates 5 identical cigars as well as the cost of shipping those cigars to our 5 chosen reviewers. This structure is either set up by a member who makes initial contact with a manufacturer/retailer, or by a manufacturer/retailer who makes direct contact with us. A CG administrator hosts the coordinating thread.

Cosponsored Geek Critique
A manufacturer/retailer supplies the 5 cigars and a Cigar Geeks member ships them to his/her chosen reviewers. CG member hosts the coordinating thread after the initial posting by an administrator.


For the time being, we will schedule 12 reviews in advance.  As we approach each new month, if there is anyone who has a new release or new product they would like to showcase, please send me a PM.

If you are interested, please post here in the thread along with months you might like to sponsor or cosponsor.

January: Don Abram Harris and Vroomp (Brad)
February: Guayacan
March: RG Tobacco and Vroomp (Brad)
April: Table36
May: Tarazona
June: Luis Falto
July: Tabacos de la Cordillera
August: Table36
September: Cigarsatyourprice.com and wescat (Kevin)
October: Ol' Times CIgars
November: Tower Cigars
December: Cult

Thank you for clarifying the new set up Nate! As you know, I still have Don Abram Harris's set for the first two weeks of January and I would love to include the Ray Granja Teikerisi.

Speaking with Luis Falto this past week, he was interested in having a cigar reviewed and, as you know, no Falto Cigar has ever been reviewed on the site and these are some fine Premium Dominican Cigars that are only in a few stores in the US. I haven't promised Luis anything but, I already have sticks from RG Tobacco if you can fit them in.

I will blame it all on a combination of jet-lag and vacation withdrawal! :biggrin:

Slot me up for the 2014 Liberty's Nathan, Cosponsored by Cigars At Your Price. Let's shoot for early September; maybe for once Camacho will hit their release date on these.

I just got off the phone with Mark from Tower cigars. He said put him down for November. We will work out the details on the cigar to be reviewed later on. Thanks Nathan.

I believe Falto cigars come from Puerto Rico. I know the blends use a lot of Dominican tobacco however. If possible I would like to be a part of this one.

I smoked a Falto Vejigante in a local B&M but I didn't review it because I didn't get a picture for the DB, which I almost always do unless there is already a picture.
