Pete got busted.
I kinda thought that when i was asked and needed to check first...thus did not add my name yet to the list. Totally busted and need to pass. Thanks for the offer anyways Joe. Cheers.
Pete if no one comes up in the next 5 days I would do it. That's only if no one steps forward. :biggrin:
I will put you down Byron and will also check with Joe. Thanks.
Great we have a full slate of good Geeks for this critique. Next to me, you guys will be the first folks in the USA to smoke this cigar! I smoked one yesterday but will not give any opinion until after you do your critiques.
Joe thanks for including me in the review, that sure was a short 5 days lol, geek math. :biggrin:
I'm kidding Pete. Give me a hug.
I haven't done one of these in a while... should be fun!

Merry Christmas Geek Critiquers! It looks like most of you will have the cigar on Tuesday. If you can, let it rest a few days in your humidor. Remember to smoke it and have the critique completed by January 25.
Thanks! :bigthumbs:
Hi Geek Critiquers! I hope you had a great Christmas Day! The Olman cigar has not shown up in the database yet. I have input the information. I hope it will show up soon. I know the entry has to be reviewed, but the information should be available to you before long.
Okay Joe, I just went into the database and approved the entries so they will be available for the reviewers. Cheers.
Package received today. Thank you for the bodyguard! What is it?
They have arrived in good order looking forward to smoking both of these Joe. :biggrin:

Dittos!
Hey Geeks, Just a reminder you need to have smoked the Olman cigar and completed the cigar critique by January 25. So, you have 7 days left! If you have any trouble getting to the critique page YELL! You can print a paper copy of the critique form to have in front of you while you're smoking the Olman cigar. Again, if you need help finding that, let me know.
Thanks again for doing this critique,
Joe (a.k.a. MacMac)
Joe I can't find the link for the review, the one I found did not have the Olman cigar in it

Dang, Corey! You must have gotten quite the dud!
I guess he was lucky that it didn't explode.

:lmao: Lord knows, it could have.
People have very different taste in just about everything.
Let's hope Larry can get his in soon!
