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 initiative in place.

Thanks again to Brian for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin' and Happy Holidays! :cigarman:

You're in Stephen.

I'd like to get this full so I can ship the cigars out in the next week allowing plenty of time for them to rest. I just got them myself this week.

Brian, Em and Michael your packages go out tomorrow. Hopefully you all get them by this weekend.

Kent and I are herfing this weekend so I'll hand off.

Stephen and I have a proxy working so his package shouldn't be too far behind.

I'll post reminders along the way. The critique is due Dec 26th. The cigars are fresh so give them some time.

If anyone has questions let me know. Thanks guys!
