This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by bstessl (Brian)

The Cigar: This will be a BLIND REVIEW

The Specs:  :confused:

Strength:  INFUSED premium cigar
Size:     Robusto

Due Date: October 25, 2023

The Hype:  :drool:

Shipping: US Lower 48

The Reviewers: Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the September review. Newer members will also be considered if they have a Veteran vouch for them.  This review will be due by October 25, so please take into account your schedule and only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Brian will make the final selection.

Chosen Reviewers:
1. ninfiction
2. ntanner
3. Alekso
4. 05Venturer
5. Otis

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 didn't realize it, but I have recently crossed into the "veteran" realm on CG. If you'll have me, I would love to try my hand at a blind review. Be interesting to see how tuned in my pallette is.

Ok, cigar has been chosen.  This will be a robusto size INFUSED premium cigar.  .  If you already volunteered and want to back out that is ok.  I just wanted everyone to know up front before we move forward.

I'll fill a spot if you're in need. Always up for trying something new and unknown.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.
