Cigar Weekly

Hello all!
Jason and I spent a couple hours yesterday sorting through cigars we've received, and packaged a bunch of reviews up.

I will do a signup for each of the BLIND reviews separately.
Blind review is a huge responsibility - you've got to get them turned around in about 2 weeks max.

Just a sneak peek here of what's in store...

BR2017-2(a-b)
Yep - a two parter. The same filler blend, two different wrappers, one light, one dark. You'll get 2 of each to smoke and take note on. this one is a corona size.

BR2017-3
Nice robusto here. You'll get 2 of these to smoke and review

BR2017-4
A nice toro with a dark wrapper. Two to review, one for later!

BR2017-5
Another nice robusto. Another 3pack. Two to review, one for you!

As stand alone reviews we have:

Punch Signature Toro
Hoyo+AJF La Amistad Robusto
CAO Consigliere Robusto
Torano Exodus (new) robusto
La Gloria Cubana Serie R BLACK maduro (fat churchill?)
Dunhill Aged Maduro (short robusto?)
And one with a silver skull on it - Jeff, what cigar is that one again? You got some at the IPCPR...

If you're up for one of those, send me a PM. Rob - we're thinking you might want to take a wag at the punch?

I would love to participate in this review. I will be on vacation for the month of April and can't think of a more relaxing way than to try some cigars. I can just see myself sitting on the beach and enjoying one of these beauties while I relax in the sun.

CSMAnderson · 03-12-2017, 01:38 PM

Forgot to mention that I have participated in reviews in the past, so if you want someone different I will understand.

I'd love a month off... but after about 10 days I'd lose my mind.

Anything up there particularly interest you? I posted the sign-up/placeholder thread for BR2017-2(a&b)

John, you know I'm always up for blind reviews!

! Or really any review. The skull one sounds like a "time flies". Definitely one I would love to try!

TommyBB · 03-13-2017, 10:30 AM

Give others a shot, but if need be, I'll try a blinder.

I have smoked the Torano and the Dunhill before. The rest of the list I have not tried. So, any of those I haven't tried would be great.

As to the month off, I'm now retired and have time to do the things I have always wanted to do.

Shoot, I've had 3 months off so far, and now I don't have time for cigars! There's just too much fun to be had!
