Alright, I've been challenged to try to put one of these together. I have NO IDEA what to do, so this is the best I could come up with.

Think you know an ISOM from a Phillies blunt? Do you have golden taste buds?

I'll put up a 6 pack. Mixed smokes: 2 super premium, 2 premium, and 2 we'll just say are a little more humble, but very smokable. I will remove the bands, but will mark them somehow with numbers or letters. I'll keep track of which is which, then when you're done, let me know so I can tell you what you smoked.

I'll put my 6 pack up against yours. You just agree to similar terms.

This is not just a two-way trade. Others may feel free to jump into this thread to get a bunch of trades going.

Who's game?

Got a box ready to go, here are some parameters:

My box totals $28.53 (prices online, box price, per stick). The low end cigars should be under $2.00. Mid level are $2-5. The high end would be $5 and up.

Each cigar is in cello. I removed the labels but put a number on the cello. After you smoke 'em, post your impressions here. Did you like it? Not? High end? or Not?

Then I'll reply to tell you and the world what you smoked.

I'm good, but not that good... 😉

Where do I sign up??

Boxes on their way to andytv and Eric1989. The contents are the same except for #2. I didn't have 2 of what I put into Andy's box so I substituted in Eric's.

I thought it would be funnier if the host posted my comments with the actual cigar name. I'll leave it up to him........if he wants the results posted right after smoking, then the dude will abide.

From the third post in this thread:

"After you smoke 'em, post your impressions here. Did you like it? Not? High end? or Not?

Then I'll reply to tell you and the world what you smoked."

This is all in fun. As Eric surmised in an email to me, this is not a 'challenge' event. I don't have a stake one way or another whether or not you can guess all the smokes or are way off. Heck, if you send me a 50 cent cigar that I really like and guess to be a premium, that's great!

The Dude certainly will abide.

I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there, the Dude, takin' her easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals. Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up. Things seem to've worked out pretty good for the Dude and Walter, and it was a purty good story, dontcha think? Made me laugh to beat the band ... parts, anyway.

There's not a single line in that movie that's not just abso-freakin-lutely hilarious!
