This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by bstessl (Brian)

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: Toro

Due Date: June 25, 2021

The Hype:  :drool:

Shipping: US Only

The Reviewers: Veteran status or higher. Preference to those members not already doing the June 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. Adwinistrator
2. Beegerply
3. Deener27
4. ntanner
5. Murphy223

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 bstessl 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!

I'd be interested in reviewing, if I am eligible...

If you need a body I'm in, done one in April :biggrin:

Ryan, Byron and Dave are in

Thanks Brian!

I'd be more than happy to do this review if you still need bodies.
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.

Thanks Brian looking forward to doing the review.   :biggrin:

Yes, thank you Brian!  I really enjoyed when I sponsored a blind review, it was a lot of fun, and the results were surprising!  Reviews were 93/92/89/84/67.  Even more interesting, the poor review was mainly due to taste, and not a construction failure.  Can't wait to do another.

Blind reviews are definitely my preference - no brand preconceived notions!

All good.  We'll figure it out for a week or so out.  Been super busy with tons of projects around here.
