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?

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?

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.

Will update in a bit. Leebot, you should give it a shot. Look back through old threads of when we do this.

Leebot, sage words given to me when I had my own doubts about this

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.
