I have enough new sticks to put together just 2 blind taste tests. Smaller than the original; just 3 cigars in each test.

One cigar will be a premium, one will be moderately priced, and one will be a bargain stick. Price guidelines: bargain under $2 each; moderate $2-$6; premium over $6. I will remove the bands, package each cigar in cello and mark them 1, 2, 3. You post your tasting impressions here, and at the end I will post the cigars you smoked.

You agree to send me three sticks in like manner.

Any takers?

Select cigar. Dump cigar out of cello. Carefully remove band. Replace in cello. Tape a number onto cello.

Nothing hard about that, is there?

You are a brave man Burgess!!!!! Prepare to look somewhat idiotic like I did!!

I think I'll give this one a shot, looks like fun! And I'm always looking for an excuse to sit around and review cigars for anybody who will listen.

apologies to the doc...i get a great pack from him, yet the pack i sent out was weak...hope you do not hold it against me...

wanted to give you a "thanks" cigar, but i did not know how to do it, so i threw it in the BLIND mix. if you want, i can tell you which one it is, so you can pull it and save it for a special occassion--i.e. a good stick.

your call. say the word. sorry again...i hope you like sweets...

drnos,

Got your package, thanks for the extras.... I will start the reviews tonight, and do one per night Mon, Tues, and Wed. I really appreciate it, and hopefully this won't be too embarassing...... Thanks again.
