Im going to do a blind taste test of premium and non premium cigars. It will be a five day test. i think i'll smoke one of each every day. i'll let the wife record what each is and then take the bands off. I know i'll have to make sure they are close if not the same in size. Any more suggestions as to how to do this? This is what im trying to figure out.If i grab a Torano Tribute,does my mind tell me that this has to be a great cigar just because of the price or the brand? And does it work the other way on a 2 or 3 dollar cigar? It may sound like a stupid thing to do but i have to know for sure. Any help would be great.

Do it with a particular size(torpedo).....like I did with Bassdude.

Have your wife go through your humi's and find 10 torps that look the most similar. Obviously, you would have to get 35 torpedos together...and have a mix of quality, but IMO torps are the hardest to differ from one another.

Thanx Smelly! You've done this before? Is there a thread i can go to to see results?

jeezy peezy!

#1-CAO Extreme

#2-ISOM...but he hasn't smoked it yet. I can't say.

#3-St. Dupont

#4-CAO Criollo

...So you can see how it is really hard to tell with torps when the band is off. Best of luck to ya, and we need to do a little trade sometime soon.

Trade? Your on. I'll post my results of the test also.

I like the way you done it,but im not good at describing what i taste in a cigar. It's either good or not good to me. So i think i'll have a more unbiassed opinion in that respect. Should be fun.
