if I am going to do that (a blinded tasting) I will:
  1. Want to do it for at least 5 CW members
  2. Do it with no expectation of compensation to myself for cigars or shipping
  3. Expect those that participate to 'pay it forward'
  4. Expect that all those receiving behave in a manner their mother's would expect them to behave (as gentlemen)

let me think it over, this take more time than you can imagine, and time is a pretty precious commodity these days

I did a blind review once. The first one I gave a good review to, and it cost a ho hum reaction. The second one was like smoking a moldy cabbage and it went over well with some of the o the reviewer. That's when I realized that I shouldn't trust reviews.

It reminded me of a story about prom night a while ago. Principal said "no lewd behavior." Kids didn't understand what that meant, so he said "dance like your grandmother is watching and you should be fine."
