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: Churchill

Due Date: November 25, 2020 (the day before Thanksgiving)

The Hype:  :rocker:

Shipping: Anywhere

The Reviewers: 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. Kid Montana
2. The Burn Ward
3. nickthafish
4. ntanner
5. klamm143

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.

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

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


Kid Montana

I'm extremely tempted, but since I did a GC recently (Oct) I will bow out.  Add me as an alternate/backup if nobody else wants to?


I'd rather have a cigar...

The Burn Ward

Sounds good to me, blind tastings/reviews are fun.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

Bruce and Ryan - I did the October CG Review as well - but if you have a hard time filling this one, I'd be willing to give it a blind burn.

It is what it is - and these things too shall pass. It may pass like a kidney stone - but IT WILL PASS.

We have our volunteers. Ryan will get these cigars out shortly.  Review will be due no later than Nov 25.  Thanks!

Agreed.  I always like blind tests; they're the most interesting reiview to do, IMO.
