Kevin--

First, thanks for the opportunity to participate in the Geek Critique, and I'll be pleased to do so.

Second, I haven't received my cigars, but, according to the tracking website, they're scheduled for delivery today.

Third, I'll submit my critique Sunday, July 24th.  I'd like the cigars to spend as much time in my humidor as possible before I smoke one.

Take care,

Dave S.

For future critiques, will there be future buy-ins to be eligible, or some other way of determining this?  Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong area.

Hello GameOfCigars. No problem asking the question, but the precise intent of your question is not clear to me.

If you ask regarding any/all Geek Critiques in the future, I cannot answer that definitively, but Geek Critique participants typically are gifted the cigar they are reviewing.

You can educate yourself regarding how Geek Critiques are done here:  http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=39

And here:  http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=28848.0

If you ask regarding Geek Critiques of Camacho Liberty releases: I do a big box split on the Liberty's every year. 5 of the Geeks that buy in on the box split are selected to do the Geek Critique.

If you are asking because you want to buy in on this years liberty box split, see this thread:  http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=42793.0

If you are asking something else, please restate the question. Thanks.
