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-Full
Size: Toro
Due Date: June 25, 2021
The Hype: :drool:
Shipping: US Only
The Reviewers: Veteran status or higher. Preference to those members not already doing the June critique, but all will be considered. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and we will select the five (5) reviewers from the volunteers.
Chosen Reviewers:
1. Adwinistrator
2. Beegerply
3. Deener27
4. ntanner
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 bstessl for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
I'd be interested in reviewing, if I am eligible...
If you need a body I'm in, done one in April :biggrin:
In if you'll have me.

Always interested if you need another.

Thanks Brian looking forward to doing the review. :biggrin:
Yes, thank you Brian! I really enjoyed when I sponsored a blind review, it was a lot of fun, and the results were surprising! Reviews were 93/92/89/84/67. Even more interesting, the poor review was mainly due to taste, and not a construction failure. Can't wait to do another.
Blind reviews are definitely my preference - no brand preconceived notions!
Thanks for having me.
Looking forward to it.

These landed today! Thanks for the hitchhikers and am really looking fwd to the blind taste test
Appreciate the bodyguards, Brian! Thank you!
Got mine sorry for the late response, I was on a little side trip out of state. They arrived safe and sound and thanks for the extras. :biggrin:
Just have to get together with Dave to get him his.

Interesting guesses!
The 100% Dominican was me and that wasn't a guess just the first one to pop up when selecting. I have no idea so no real guess.
Smoking one of these (? ? ?) right now, and its goooood. :biggrin:
HA HA HA!!!

SAME - I just guessed what I guessed because it look a lot like one in the humidor. Really have no idea what it is
Critiques are posted. Thanks to everyone that participated, and thank you bstessl for sponsoring this one!
Nice - Thanks for letting me participate -
My Father Rosado! I had never smoked a regular one. Will have to try again, as I had burn issues. Seeing as 3/5 of us loved it, I am sure it has the potential.
I'm curious on everyone's thoughts now that you know what it was. Surprised? Underwhelmed/overwhelmed?

It was spot on in my mind. I have always liked most Pepin stuff plus cigars that are rosado's. This was a winner in my book and will have to grab some more soon.

Agree! I rated it fairly high so was not too surprised. Really good smoke
