This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by Adwinistrator (Ryan)

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-Full
Size: Robusto

Due Date: November 26, 2023

The Hype:drool:

Shipping: US and Canada

The Reviewers: Initially 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. appollo
2. headfirst
3. Bob Cordell
4. The Burn Ward
5. Deener27

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.

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

Bob, you're in.  Alekso, since you are doing the November critique already, you're on stand-by if we don't have other volunteers.

I'll throw my hat in the ring.  Be fun to do another Adwinistrator review.

Glad to see that these are landing. I extended the deadline to the Sunday the 26th to give everyone a full final weekend to get it smoked. Since its a blind review, just enter the cigar as your guess at what it is, and I will fix them all before the critiques go live.  ;-)
