"The Christians met on the way many people who were going to their towns, women and men, with a firebrand in the hand, and certain weeds whose smoke they inhale which are dry weeds stuffed into a certain dry leaf in the form of a muset made of paper, like the ones the children make on the day of the Holy Ghost; and burning a part of it, from the other part they suck or absorb or admit the smoke with breathing." -Christopher Columbus, from his Navigation diary

This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by StogieDad (Michael).

The Cigar: This is a blind review

The Hype: None yet.

The Reviewers: One member needed who has less than a year under their belt, is active, and has not done a Geek Critique this year or are slated for one.

1. millarddj (Daniel)
2. headfirst (Gary)
3. ninfiction (Brian)
4. nirab (Brian)
5. C130Driver (Devin)

Due Date: February 10, 2016.

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.

Thanks again to Michael for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :cigarguy:

Step up boys and girls.  I have one I think you will enjoy, but you don't get to know what it was until you smoke it!  Would I steer you wrong???? :biggrin:

Nevermind on this one, I have to bow out, as I do not meet the requirements for the rest of the slots, as I have not sponsored a review in the past.

Yeah, come on guys, don't be intimidated to give this a try, it's a blind stick review so we all may look like we don't know what we're doing on this one!   :biggrin:

I'd love to give it a try, but I'll be working over seas for 30 days starting Feb 14... just limited on time.  Appreciate the nomination!

I'd be willing to give it a shot if you're still looking. If you pick me don't ship it until you PM me though. I'm going to be at my Reserve Base for a while starting Monday so I'll need to get you my address there.
I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

I haven't done a ton of reviews for the site so have shied away from volunteering for one of these.  If you *need* a reviewer, let me know and I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Just to clarify, my address in my profile is my home address. I would just give you my address at the base. I'd still get it and be able to do it, just don't send it to my house.

Haven't seen Pete on, so since it looks like C130Driver meets the criteria, works for me.  I will send these out in the next day or two, and you have until the 10th of Feb.  to post.  Thanks guys!
