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: Lancero/Long Panatela
Due Date: July 25, 2021
The Hype: :thumbsup:
Shipping: Canada and US Only
The Reviewers: Veteran status or higher, in good standing. Preference to those members not already doing the July critique. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and appollo will select the four (4) more reviewers from the volunteers.
Chosen Reviewers:
1. Biggsy16
2. nirab
3. benchjockey
4. ninfiction
5. BewareDaPenguin
The Twist: After submitting their review, each reviewer shall PM appollo and Brlesq with their guess as to what cigar it was that they smoked. If somebody guesses it correctly, appollo will send out a sampler of this company's cigars. If more than one person guesses correctly, appollo will randomly draw for the winner among those reviewers that identified it correctly.
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 appollo for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
I did the May GC, but willing to review if there are challenges filling the spots. :biggrin:
