Title: February Member Sponsored Geek Critique (First Two Weeks)
Post by: junglepete on 01/02/2015 07:49 AM
This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by Michael (Stogiedad).

The Cigar: Jericho Hill OBS

The Hype: Only Jon Huber of Crowned Heads could pull-off a cigar inspired by Johnny Cash's Cocaine Blues. With help from My Father Cigars in Nicaragua, they have created an all BOX-PRESSED edition that's rich, potent and complex as it gets. The smoke is a full-throttle experience that assaults the palate at break-neck speed, races around your mouth for 100 miles, and leaves your taste buds in a cloud of power, intensity, and excitement, says Huber. A MUST-SMOKE for power hitters.

The Reviewers:

 1. kxthor911, (Nick)
 2. mike.casey (Mike)
 3. Longhorn (Brad)
 4. The Burn Ward (Jared)
 5. beegerply (Byron)

Due Date: January 26, 2015

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

Thanks again to Michael for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker:

I'm too far up North and don't want to force Michael to have to ship to the GWN on such short notice but I would have loved to review this cigar. Shouldn't be hard to fill the 2 remaining spots.

I'll be reading the GC with great interest

I had one more invite out that accepted, and since Chuck stepped back, if Beegerply is up for it, first to reply, you are in brother.  I will get these mailed first of the week guys.

Sorry guys, super cold temps = frozen pipes = dudes in the insurance business crazy busy.  Got them out today.  Still should have a couple weeks to get them smoked.  These have been in my humi since the release, so they should recover quickly.
