Revealing Blind Cigar Number 5....and our winner!


Recommended Posts

Like any other blind tasting...it is bloody hard wink.png

Still a number of you (Sharks, kam etal) managed to get ti right...congrats 2thumbs.gif

Consistently the response has been that Cigar Number 5 was the best of the 5 blind tasting cigars.

I think many of you were thrown off the scent that it was also a marque that we had previously sampled in this blind tasting

Cigar Number 5 is a damn elegant Double Corona that to me delivers everything that is good about the marque. Medium bodied, coffee cream, some dark cooking chocolate notes past the half way mark. it is a cigar that is not spoken much about, a cigar that is right up there for me in terms of quality with the the best of the large format cigars such as the Sir Winston.

Welcome to the Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro OLR DIC 12

I won't go through the entire spreadsheet exercise as we only had one winner of the comp who remarkably guessed 3 of the 5 cigars correctly

Congratulations Amos (Famous). A great effort mate clap.gif. Contact me direct for your prize.

Thank you to all participants as well as the help that Lisa and Di gave me to get this rather large exercise off the ground!

As always it is great fun spotlight.gif

i have some great boxes of VRDA available. If you are keen, e-mail me or PM me and I will quote you a price.

Cheers!

Congrats to Amos, what a fantastic effort!

Many thanks to Rob, Di and Lisa, great comp! I loved the VRDA, my fav of the bunch and not one i had tried previously. Yet another to add to my sample again/ maybe buy list.

Congratulations man :) Stellar effort :-D

Thank you Rob and everyone else involved in getting this together and running too, It's a great and interesting thing to have the opportunity to participate in.

Although my efforts were a little tapered and hopeless I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I just got a little confused and then too busy about half way in. Next year I'll be back in it!

Congratulations to Famous!

Thanks to Rob for not publishing the spread sheet and sparing my 0/5 blushes...

I thought the Don Alejandro was terrific, even if I didn't have a clue what it was!

Wow this one completely shocks me. Not because it was the second VR of the contest, but because I just didn't pick up any of that usual coffee flavor I get from VRs. It must've been so subtle I didn't notice. Guess I will have to pay better attention next time! Still I'm very happy with 2/5.

Congrats to famous! It is definitely quite a feat to pull 3 of these out. Good work.
