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: Robusto

Due Date: January 25, 2022

The Hype:  :drool:

Shipping: US & Canada (after a discussion with Pete)

The Reviewers: Reviewers must have sponsored a Geek Critique in either 2022 or 2021, 2019, or 2018. Preference to those members not already doing the January critique, but all will be considered. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Pete will select the five (5) reviewers from the volunteers.

Chosen Reviewers:
1. Beegerply
2. appollo
3. Vroomp
4. Adwinistrator
5. bstessl

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 junglepete for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Thanks for the offer Steve, but I'll hold out a bit more for a member that meets the criteria above. Of course, if you're  interested in sponsoring June or July's Geek Critique that would secure you a spot in this Geek Critique. If not, I'll keep you in mind if needed. Cheers.

If you need one more I'll toss my name in...

Oops...never mind...I have not sponsored a critique

Waiting on one more reviewer, packages are almost ready.

Made the deadline!

Critique is in thanks Pete for the chance to review this.

Review submitted, thank you again Pete!

 I appreciate the opportunity Pete. Hard time guessing which budget smoke this was! :biggrin:

  I may be way off, but review is submitted as Honduras Special No. 205 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigrevs;area=showcrit;gc_id=1287)  :lmao:

 

 

  We just like making you sweat Bruce~!  :shy:

For once I am almost confident in my guess...  Tatuaje T110 (2021 release)

Although I did not measure the cigar, so I might be totally wrong.

Cuban Classic Don Pepin  :confused:

That cigar had absolutely no pepper kick for me and I don't think I've ever had a Pepin that didn't~!

Thank you all for getting these in on time.  I can't tell you what the cigar is yet, but I can tell you the guesses . . .

Honduras Special No. 205   
Tatuaje Limited Release T110
1502 Black Gold Conquistador   
A. Pontillo Paragon Robusto Grande Sungrown
Don Pepin Garcia (My Father Cigars) Black Label (Cuban Classic) Robusto 1979

Excited for the reveal.

Crowned Heads Juarez OBS.

Thanks for the reviews Gentlemen.

I'm happy with my blind assessment.  I feel I had the same opinion while smoking it in the past.

I have to agree!  This is a great cigar for the price, I recommend it often when working at the lounge.

I should have known its was My favorite brand I'll be getting some of these.

I was surprised that nobody guessed it.  Its a pretty distinctive size and flavor profile.  One of my go-to cigars at least once a week.
