Title: July Member Sponsored Geek Critique
Post by: Brlesq on 05/03/2020 10:37 AM
This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by bstessl (Brian).

The Cigar: This will be a BLIND REVIEW  

The Specs: :confused:

But we'll tell you this much so you can decide if you want to volunteer to review this or not:
Strength: Medium
Size: Corona Grande

Due Date: June 25, 2020

The Hype:  :rocker:

Shipping: Continental US addresses only

The Reviewers: Veteran status or higher to be considered. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Brian will select the five (5) reviewers from the volunteers.

Chosen Reviewers
1. McBryde
2. nickthafish
3. Adwinistrator
4. nirab
5. Murphy223

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 providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

REVIEWERS: Since this is a blind review, just fill out a Geek Critique on the cigar that YOU THINK it might be, and then post up in this thread your guess.  I will assign your review to the correct cigar after the fact since none of you are going to guess it.  :lmao:

Just a reminder: 9 days left to get these reviews in.

Since this is a blind review, just fill out a Geek Critique on the cigar that YOU THINK it might be, and then post up in this thread your guess. I will assign your review to the correct cigar after the fact.  Have fun!
