Title: August Member Sponsored Geek Critique (Last Two Weeks)
Post by: junglepete on 06/26/2015 07:49 AM

This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by mpurtle01 (Matt).

The Cigar: La Flor Dominicana 1994 Conga (5.0 x 52)

The Hype: This cigar is to celebrate the 20 years Litto & Inez have been in the cigar business. They started the company Los Libertadores in 1994 and started producing a Dominican cigar. The brand La Flor Dominicana wasn't started until 1996 when the original investors parted ways. The cigar is comprised of a binder and fillers from La Canela farm with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. They come in five sizes, with one of those being a special size released in a beer stein. They are packed in boxes of 20.

The Reviewers: We are picking reviewers who have not done a any geek critique in the past two months nor are scheduled to do one in the near future.

1. CrazyK (Karl)
2. Camshaft83 (Cam)
3. Rebecca Silverwolf (Rebecca)
4. jharrisx5 (Jason)
5. Kevin48438 (Kevin)

Due Date: August 10, 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 Matt for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin' :cigarguy:

I certainly heard a lot about cigars not having arrived last week. I do have delivery confirmations from USPS stating they have been delivered. Thanks you guys who let me know they showed up. Rebecca, Dan, can you confirm that you got the boxes?

So I did my review yesterday, but didn't submit it as I figured I would proofread it, etc... Well, guess what - stupid tablet crashed and lost it all! Hopefully I can remember enough to get me through...

Title: Re: August Member Sponsored Geek Critique (Last Two Weeks)
Post by: CrazyK on 08/10/2015 09:57 AM

My review has been submitted. Hopefully I was able to rebuild it from the notes I took... Thanks for the opportunity to review this one, Matt!

I do not see a review submitted from Kevin nor have I heard from him. At this point neutral feedback will be submitted. If I am mistaken then the feedback will be reversed and I apologize upfront. This feedback rating may also turn into negative feedback if the review is not submitted. Remember, the onus lies on the reviewer to make contact in a timely fashion with a reasonable excuse and not to be pursued by the sponsor or an Admin. No contact after the fact results in negative feedback
