The Hype:
The El Rabo del Toro is a collaboration between Julian Sued & Xaxhi Bobi (owned by Bob de Goede, who used to be a cigar box maker).  The name Xhaxhi is Albanian for "uncle," which de Goede was given after working at a mine in Albania.   

The Reviewers drafted by Otis:
1. Cfickter
2. bstessl
3. McBryde
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 Otis for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Hey,  you should check out The Herfcast!  It's not about anything in particular,  just talking about whatever comes to mind while smoking cigars and having a drink or 4.

Mine landed today in good shape Otis, I appreciate the hitchhiker!

These are now posted.  A WIDE variety of scores, and the first time that the highest score was double that of the lowest score.  Big thanks to Otis for sponsoring this!

Mine just fell a part on me while I was trying to smoke it. I showed Bruce the pics of it. I'll post them on our group text as well for those on there.
