Can’t remember who ran this the last time (and I am too lazy to look) but I would be willing to run it this year if they don’t want to.
A reminder...if interested, you would be paired up with another Cbidder. You would each send 5 cigars. 3 x unbanded cigars (1 everyday smoke, 1 in the less than $10 range and them a premium cigar) and 2 other nice cigars that you like.
Then you will smoke and post a review of each of the unbanded cigars. (Feel free to guess which level of cigar you think it was and if intuitive enough....the brand). The sender will not answer until all three are reviewed. Two options for the reveal of the name/brand of cigar....bands are shipped with the package but are in a sealed envelope or the sender can wait and post on the thread.
So, two questions.....1. Who ever did this last, do you want to take over or do you want me to continue on? 2. WHO IS INTERESTED?
1. Stinger 2. jpkulp 3. gummy jones 4. mjrburn 5. RMAN4443 6. clintCigar 7. danmdevries 8. Sunoverbeach 9. Jsnyder147 10. Whistlebritches 11. Jakethesnake 12. Opelmanta 13. CheapPrick 14. lance4824 15.LeeBot 16. Smooth light 17. ZRX1200
No limit to the number of players....but will end sign ups at 11:59pm on 20 March.

This sounds like fun, count me in (if you'll take freakin' n00b who's done a trade or two).
So only 3 of the five are blind? Am I reading that right? |
3. Author: Sunoverbeach | Date: Thu, 3/11/2021, 6:37AM EST | |
You're reading that right, jp. I was just thinking about this the other day. I'm in.
Also supposed to send something locally produced or homemade, i.e. hot sauce, jams, brews, etc. IIRC
It was danm who's run this before. Canceled last year because the country called off sick |

I don't think I have the palate for this, so I am not in. But I am really interested, so I'll sit on the bleachers, eat popcorn, and eagerly watch. |
15. Author: stinger88 | Date: Thu, 3/11/2021, 9:49PM EST | |
Will update in a bit. Leebot, you should give it a shot. Look back through old threads of when we do this. |
16. Author: Jsnyder147 | Date: Thu, 3/11/2021, 10:43PM EST | |
Where’s that snake at.. I know he’ll play.. even though he hates writing tasting notes. |

Leebot, sage words given to me when I had my own doubts about this stinger88 wrote:Don’t worry about having to produce a literary masterpiece about the floral notes and the hints of sage or whatever. I like to hear if you thought was good. Was it super spicy, peppery, etc. most of mine have been pretty generic. I am pretty sure one or two over time have just said....”it was an OK cigar”. It is fun trying to guess the cigar and price point. I am pretty sure as a whole group, we are piss poor at guessing that correctly. I bumped the '19 thread if ya want to take a look at how much we all got wrong |
18. Author: Jsnyder147 | Date: Fri, 3/12/2021, 6:13AM EST | |
Thanks for the bump sob. That was an nice read. Cool to see Marcus and gummy join in after they hung on the sidelines last year. |
19. Author: Jakethesnake86 | Date: Fri, 3/12/2021, 8:38AM EST | |
Maybe this could be fun. I read through the old thread. I will join. Don’t bash my crumby palate Interesting read. |

It all depends on who I'm watching and who I have a chance to participate with. Not really, mother keeps parent controls on my computer. OK, I'm in. Pair me with somebody. What are we supposed to do? Send 4 yardgars to the guy who started the thread? |
36. Author: Smooth light | Date: Thu, 3/18/2021, 10:05PM EST | |
I'm in too, sounds like a good time can be had by all. |

For the record, my review of almost every cigar I have ever smoked is:
First third, tastes like tobacco. Second third, tobacco taste with notes of tobacco. Final third, tobacco with a nice tobacco finish. |
48. Author: stinger88 | Date: Mon, 3/22/2021, 8:10AM EST | |
A lot of mine are like that too. Throw in some construction comments (didn’t fall apart,didn’t find human hair in it) and the ash color (light gray, white, etc) ...and you have 90% of my reviews too. |
49. Author: danmdevries | Date: Mon, 3/22/2021, 8:12AM EST | |
I find that having a few drinks before, and a hefty pour of scotch or bourbon during makes me a lot more verbal and descriptive.
