Due Date: November 25th, 2017

Shipping: Limited to the US addresses only

The Reviewers:

Three (3) veteran or higher status reviewers, min 500 points and 5 database reviews
Two (2) newbies (less than 12 months on Geeks), min 100 points and 1 database review

1. brlesq (Bruce)
2. nirab (Brian)
3. danb6177 (Dan)

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 Colin for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'

Just did the august review. So if you need me I'm here but if anyone who hasn't done one wants in take them first.
I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

Thanks everyone who has signed up! I asked Pete to start the sign-up early on this one so the stick is well acclimated when it is time to smoke.
