So I've done a few of these on other forums and with the right conditions this can be a really fun trade / challenge! So curious if anyone is interested in:
A blind tasting trade!
Rules:
1. Trade is for 5 cigars. No more no less
2. Traders PM each other a list of 20 cigars. 15 are ones they like, love or want to try. 5 are cigars they don't like! Cigars are to be Non Cuban and MSRP is not to exceed $12. ( as close as possible ) *key is to list cigar brands or releases vs specifics! Example Don Pepin Blue Label, Tatuaje Black Label, Fuente etc. NOT Tatuaje the Frank, Fuente Henmingway, etc. You want to avoid a cigar from being easily known or Rare, HTF sticks being apart of this kind of trade.
3. Trade includes 4 cigars from the good list and 1 from the bad list.
4. Cigars are to be stripped of all bands, cello etc. placed in finger bags or seperated into bags.
5. Each cigar is to be numbered. Each trader while numbering the naked cigar will mark the band with the same number. A photo of the numbered bands must be taken for later use. Bands are not to be shipped and you are not to provide any info on the cigars your sending. If you don't have any of the 20, then you can decline the offer to trade.
6. Trade takes place
7. Both parties have 2 weeks to smoke all 5 cigars, write a short ( key word short ) review of each numbered cigar. Then guess what cigar they think it is or at least brand of maker.
8. After both parties complete all 5 of their reviews, pics of the bands are posted and the person who got the most correct guesses wins!
9. No prize awarded..... Just a fun trade and chance to see how well you know your cigar likes and dislikes. Iv seen some get very close and iv seen people say they hate Gurkha then review and love it not knowing that's what it was!
FYI - this is an open thread so anyone else interested please feel free to post. We can all post our reviews and pics here. Just thought this can be fun so anyone interested please post and let's get some pairs lined up! Happy Trading
