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: Long Corona
Due Date: June 26, 2022
The Hype: :drool:
Shipping: US Only (lower 48)
The Reviewers: Member in good standing 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 Brian will select the five (5) reviewers from the volunteers.
Chosen Reviewers:
1. McBryde
2. ntanner
3. Murphey223
4. arrow34
5. 05Venturer
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'm game if you'll have me.

Someone better volunteer! This could become a new thing . . . send a cigar as a bomb and compel the recipient to do a Geek Critique! :lmao: :lmao:
Come on Gentlemen, one more needed. I'd do it myself if I had not just done June's.
Sometimes writing "one more reviewer needed" in the thread title helps, and then erase it afterwords.
Pete, if nobody volunteers by tomorrow evening you'll take the spot.
I'm with Pete doing June so come on guys, its not hard.
I'll take this spot if its still open.
Kent is in
Everyone make sure addresses are correct, or PM me so I can get these out soon.
Great you got filled up. I removed the "one more reviewer needed" just so you didn't get a deluge of responders :?: :smoker2:

Thanks for the assist, Pete. Been busy today and had not checked in until now.
Brian will get these out to you guys and you'll have a few weeks to enjoy your cigar and get your critiques in. Enjoy!

E
Mine arrived a day ago. Thx brian
The bodyguard is from 2018. That's what I was going to have be the blind review, but couldn't because of it's origins.
Friendly reminder: Critiques are due June 26. Thanks!
Six (6) days left. No one has turned it in yet, so you're all in the same boat! :biggrin:
I am gonna do my best to get it in tonight but if not I may be a day late on Sunday. :shamebag:
Mine is in. Thanks for letting me participate.
Submitted
Today is the due date, and only 2 are turned in. We gave an extra day (to the 26th) to give you the whole weekend, so hopefully you've got the review cigar "on deck" to enjoy today and submit your critique. Enjoy! Just submit the critique as your best guess of the cigar, and I will fix it to the correct name later.
Mine has been submitted!
E
In... just under the wire...
Thank you all for getting these in. I can't tell you what the blind cigar was yet, but I'll tell you all the guesses:
Untitled Maduro Toro 65
Aganorsa Leaf (formerly Casa Fernandez) Guardian of the Farm Nightwatch Orpheus
The S**t Show Crew Maduro Lonsdale by AJ Fernandez (Privada CC Exc.)
Don Pepin Garcia (My Father Cigars) La Antiguedad Corona Grande
La Fabuloso Churchill Maduro
I was trying to guess this as I smoked it and it reminded me of a My Father Cigars so that's my Guess. The La Antiguedad Corona Grande
Critiques are posted. Thanks to everyone for their time reviewing, and thank you Brian for the cigars!
Thanks Bruce and Brian - Always interesting to see the variations and find out what it was
