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: Toro
Due Date: November 26, 2021
The Hype: :drool:
Shipping: Anywhere
The Reviewers: Veteran status or higher. Preference to those members not already doing the November 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. HolySmokes
2. Deener27
3. appollo
4. Beegerply
5. nwb
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 Adwinistrator for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
Hey there Bruce, I wouldn't mind jumping in for a review again! This one sounds fun!
I'm in if you'll have me. Gotta get back into the swing of it.
If needed I'll be available.Always up for a challage.
:bump: Looking for a few more volunteers. I know what this blind cigar is, and trust me, I would sign up for this one if I were eligible.
I'll give it a try if needed :biggrin:
I'll throw my name in the hat.
Looks like we have our 5 volunteers.
Awesome, will get these out ASAP and send tracking info. Looking forward to all your reviews. Enjoy!

Reviewers: Post up your guess at the cigar in this forum after you've smoked it. Then just submit it as that cigar when you turn it in, and I will straighten it out on the back end.

Got mine this morning.
Thanks again for letting me review this one.
I've got mine! Looking forward to this one!! Appreciate it!
Got mine last night Ryan thanks for the extra. :biggrin:
Alright guys, completed my Geek Critique. I'm a little early but wanted to enjoy the cigar before getting too cold out. My guess based on limited experience is a Perdomo Lot 23 Toro 6x50 (Dark Natural). Thanks again, Ryan. Happy smoking!

Just a polite FYI, but I'm not sure you want to put your guesses out there before anyone else has had a chance to smoke it.
Just a friendly reminder: Six (6) days left to get these smoked and turned in (I gave you an extra day because Thanksgiving fell on the 25th). Only one has been turned in so far.
Thanks!
Review done.Thanks Ryan it was a very enjoyable stick
My review is in :biggrin:

Going to work on getting mine in tonight for sure. Don't want to be the jerk who screws up the works for Bruce.
My review is in. My incorrect guess is an Aladino Toro. :biggrin:
I forgot to put my guess in I think its a Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf :confused:

Great minds! It reminded me of an Aladino I smoked recently but I'm fairly certain it isn't.
I had another idea after I made my guess, so I'm curious to see what it is!
Now that the reviews are posted, I am glad you all enjoyed the PG Gourmet! I find the brand overlooked, but a great value for the aging and care that goes into them. I don't have the production date for these, but most of the PG Gourmet I have purchased were rolled over 10 years ago using decently aged tobacco.
I also conducted a blind review with this cigar on a forum that I run, and I'd be glad to share their reviews here as well, although we did not use the CG scoring format.
Thank you all for participating!

Thank you very much for a great cigar to review. I am a huge fan of the PG 25th and would love to try the 30th one of these days really soon, so this blind PG Gourmet was right up my alley.
Thanks Ryan,that was my first for that brand and will definitely get some more.
