This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by mojo66 (Sébastien). This one is an all Canadian production and will be the first to have a Cuban cigar reviewed in the Geek Critique format.

The Cigar: Vegas Robaina Famosos (5.0 x 49)

The Hype: This Robusto is typically a Vegas Robaina cigar: honeyed and spicy with a superb construction which can be compared to the Cohiba Robusto. The tempo is good, you will definitely appreciate the flavours and the virility of this cigar. Only experienced smokers need apply!

The Reviewers:

Karl (CrazyK)
qoheleth
Pat (Newbhunter)
Rich (Biggsy16)
Pete (junglepete)

Due Date: July 26, 2014

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 new initiative in place.

 This probably won't be clickable, but this is the link

Doesn't seem to work

Going to be a great review and epic moment in Geek history

Do you get an error message of some kind. Just tried and it does seem to work.

Using http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigrevs;area=critiques" I get to the page named "The Geek Critique". Right under the name of the page you should see this:

Congratulations!  You are a Geek Critiquer this month.  Click here to Add A New Geek Critique."

 

Maybe try it again, if it doesn't work I'll PM an admin, sorry about that.

Ok it works now..

Mojo,done and entered thanks again my French brother

Thanks Rich, hope it was a nice experience.

I just wanted to let my group know that I submitted my Geek Critique yesterday. Thanks to Smurf for having confidence in me to replace him for this critique! And thanks to the entire group for letting me be a part of this "historic" review of a cuban cigar!

Sorry Nathan, had gotten the OK from Junglepete for the reviewer switch as Eric just could not do it but I guess I should have made it clear and public by posting here.

 

Thanks for submitting the review Paul. If I'm not mistaken, we have 2 down, 3 to go.
