I could toss you in on the end and run your puts and takes virtual, then timing wouldn't be as much of an issue. Possibly you could not tell me your puts and I could smoke a couple mystery cigars.

I tell you what, how about if everybody post their reviews here in the pass thread?  That way everybody can keep each other accountable, and maybe see what kind of comments a cigar gets when the smoker has no idea what it is.

Good idea Dan, maybe I can start a separate thread just for the Blind reviews so they are easier to track and then they can be transferred to an actual review later?
Comments anyone ?
Just don't want get multiple thread confusion either, we know how that goes. LOL :-0

Nope,  once a number is gone it's gone, your put's will be the next numbers in order after the previous participant.
so if the player ahead of you puts in 11 & 12 your puts will be 13 & 14  and so on. This will keep any chance of confusion with multiple cigars for one number.
Title: Re: Blind Geeks Pass
Post by: 05Venturer on 06/14/2015 11:19 AM
OK All I closed this up to newcomers we are sitting at 12 players so we will go with that.
I have updated the pass order putting apollo (Stephen) up first will play virtual and quickme (Nick) will play virtual on the tail end.
Everyone please check to see if they see any problems and let me know right away. I will get the seed cigars de-banded and ready to go and will take a pic for our first virtual player to get at least a look at what he wishes to pick out. I will try to get this going this week if nobody sees any issues with their placement in the line up.

For some reason the pass won't let me go over 12 members?? Anyone know the reasoning for this?? We have a couple #12's  :confused:

Title: Re: Blind Geeks Pass
Post by: 05Venturer on 06/26/2015 01:22 PM
I would say the reviews can be posted in CG reviews as a normal review with a notation that it was a blind review.
Everyone can see them there if they look.
If anyone involved has any other ideas please pm me so we don't clutter the thread too much.  :thumbsup:

I see Brian has already posted his review in the review section :bigthumbs: . A quick note that it was a blind review would be awesome I think.
Maybe a quick note/edit to the blind review thread would be helpful. :confused: . Ideas???

REMINDER before we get to far into this.
Once your review is put in the review thread and I reveal what cigar it was, all reviews should go in the database. Part of the idea is to get some unbiased reviews up. Just be sure to make mention that this was a " Blind" review in the context.  :bigthumbs:  :thanx:

This is cool to watch unfold. Im trying to guess them from the wrappers as the pics come in. I got one right already(the nica rustica) and im pretty sure I know what the ninfiction 14 is. So this pass is as fun for the sideliners as for the smokers. :bigthumbs:

Title: Re: Blind Geeks Pass
Post by: 05Venturer on 07/16/2015 06:39 PM
Just a friendly reminder of a couple of the general rules of this pass.

If you participate you must be willing to review both of your takes within 2 weeks of transitioning the pass to the next Geek. As soon as you have smoked and completed your review(s) contact me let me know how many stars you will be giving the cigar and then I will let you know what you smoked.

If you have a problem or foresee a problem complying with any of these DO NOT join this pass.
Must be a vet on the site or have someone vouch for ya. The reasoning is members are going to be spending their time and efforts moving this along and reviewing these cigars in a timely matter and I would like to avoid any issues that would end up with someone wasting their time and efforts.

If anyone has/had any unforeseen circumstances please get ahold of me via PM.
Thanks  :thumbsup:

Got Nick's put cigars (Nicks Sticks LOL) in the mail yesterday. He sent early and I have asked that he not tell me what they are so that way I will actually "take" them since he is last on the pass order and I can do a couple blind reviews also.
If you would like to see what kind of guy Nick is you may have to check another bombing thread of the Southern variety.   :shy:  :shy:

Stephen handed the pass off yesterday.  The current inventory is:

1-05Venturer (damage to the wrapper in the middle and the foot)
2-05Venturer
8-05Venturer
11-Apollo
12-Apollo (cracks in the wrapper)
15-Eberanbe
16-Ebernabe
17-Nirab
19-SJN
20-SJN

I'll update the pass when Stephen gets his puts and takes updated and its progressed to me.  I'm replacing the Priority Flat Rate box with a new one as well.

I think I can get it to you by mid week.  If something happens that I can't ship tomorrow I'll let you know and have Kent decide what he wants me do; hold the pass or shuffle the order.

My Puts and Takes have been posted along with the tracking number.  I'll drop off tomorrow morning on my way into work.  I marked three takes and three puts, but one was just to correct the inventory.

Stogiedad, I didn't have a square medium flat rate box, just the flat shaped ones so it doesn't have a new box.  I taped up the current one pretty good so it'll be safe for one more trip, at least.  

Thanks!

They wouldn't be blind reviews as I know what they are. I already have both of my blind reviews complete of a couple tasty smoke from quickme.
Reminder to those of you who have not finished up your duties of reviews, PLEASE get them in. I have never given bad feedback for a pass member and don't want to start.

Gonna close this out.
Reviews that aren't complete are apparently not gonna get completed.
Feedback has been left for those who completed reviews and completed them in the timeframe that was set up.

There has been a lot of interest in running this pass again, whomever wishes to can take the reins.
