As usual, I would like to send these out sooner than later in order for them to acclimate nicely.
had a blast doing your last one Colin, would love to play again. I did July though, does that preclude me from joining?

Nope - you're in!
I would enjoy partaking.
I'm in, if you'll have me. My birthday is December 1, after all... :biggrin:

I'm away for a few days next week. If you stick mine in the mail on Tuesday 7/17 or any day after that it will be fine.

Likewise for me Colin. I'll be out of town tomorrow through Tuesday.
Mailing Tuesday then, unless someone objects.
Works for me.

The unbanded stick is for the review.
The hitchhiker is just like the ones walking along the road - old, crusty, and smell fantastic when burned.
Awesome!! Thanks Colin
Is this going to be a blind review/critique? If so what should we enter for the brand name?

The awesome cigar Colin sent me for review - or TACCSMEFR for short.
J/K - enter it under whatever cigar you think it is and an admin will move it to the correct section once the cigar is revealed.

Package received! Thank you for the hitchhiker, never smoked one of those before. The review cigar looks great too!! When is the review due date Colin?
Package has also landed in MN. Thanks Brother!
Got mine today, in an Apocalypse-proof box. Colin, the mystery stick smells and looks delish, my brother!

These have 2-3 years on them (the blind review has 4+). I WISH I could find them for $4 as stated in the review, I'd pick up 2 boxes today!
The blind and hitchhiker are 2 of my favorite cigars that have never let me down.
Hmm might have to do this review sooner rather than later...

Thanks Colin for letting me partake!

Just shy of 2 hours well spent....and it honestly has me baffled. Had a hell of a time figuring out what I was tasting, not one of my better reviews but the score didn't suffer from my ineptitude that's for sure.
It's November 1st - where are the submissions?!?!?!?!?!
Don't you worry Colin, this one is very much on my radar and calling my name from the humidor. Maybe I'll smoke it this weekend actually
Like last time, we will put the review under the cigar we think it is?

Correct, unless Pete says otherwise.
Sounds good.
I've submitted mine. I have no idea what it was but it was good.
Where can I see who has submitted a review for this?
Ok I smoked this last night, took some detailed notes and I have a good review put together. I forget how we did it last year with the blind review - how do I post my review? Should I use the official geek critique format/scoring system but just post it under the cigar I think it is?
Side Note - I think all geek critiques should be done blind, makes you pay so much more close attention and without any bias of what you're smoking

I agree and it's why I have sent every Geek Critique blind. You can't look up to see what other people have thought about the flavor profile.
Would everyone post their guess? Interested to see!
AVO 787 Perfecto.
I have no idea what it was. Tom told me his guess and I think he might be right.
I guessed Dominican Nude Bundles (Best Cigar Prices) Torpedo Connecticut Shade :lmao:
I gave Colin my guess, I was wrong. I guessed Opus X Super Belicoso.....wishful thinking perhaps haha. Gonna laugh if it's a Dominican Nude Bundle!!
I honestly have no idea.
1 guess is very close, but I'll wait to hear from the others before spilling the beans!
c'mon fockers get those guesses in, I wanna know what the cigar was!!
Me too.

QuoteMusicCity - 11/21/2018 11:58 AM Avo 88. How are we submitting our reviews?
I thought of guessing this too, but I had never had one so I didn't have a point of reference. The good construction would certainly be Davidoff-esque, and the Dominican vibe is right. I think you're right

You can submit your review under this cigar. Pete will make sure they get placed as the correct cigar when all is said and done I believe.
I see three entries submitted so far.

I hope to get mine in today. Sorry to keep y'all waiting. It's been crazy around here.
I finally got the time to smoke this today. I have no idea what it is, but to me, there's a definite Cubanesque quality to it. I'm probably way off the mark, but I'm going with a Partagas Serie P No. 2.
My review is now in, finally, under the Partagas. I can't wait to find out what I smoked.

Wow great job John! Very enjoyable cigar. Thanks Colin!
I have to be honest guys, it was just one hell of a lucky guess.
