potpest Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Recieved the blind tasting sampler today. Really looking forward to taking part this year as have only watched from the sidelines previously. Already trying to guess what they are...bring it on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjohn7 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Glad there is a mix of vitolas in there. Ups the difficulty considerably for me. Can't wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgucia Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Number 1 and 4 looks authentic 1 and 4. 2,3,5 not. Thanks for the pic! Already made it my desktop background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khamy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Number 1 and 4 looks authentic 1 and 4. 2,3,5 not. Thanks for the pic! Already made it my desktop background. #1 can't be cuban, the label is placed at 50% from the head and foot, guaranteed to be Non Cuban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 #5 is a dippy #2 Holy crap - this was my first thought! I'm going to guess the middle is a RAG with a lighter shade of wrapper than normal. What do I win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 When are the first guesses in by, April 6th? I might have smoked them all by then, they look so delicious. Mine are all at least Colorado, some maduro, packed with filler. Great promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophistic Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 i just realised how bad i am at this. first look i was sure #1 is a partagas pc, rolled at the partagas factory by carlos hernandez in the late afternoon of may 24th 2014, but now i realise that its obviously by his twin brother hector. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbandz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think Rob picks these to lure you in visually,and then slams you upside the head with reality. The torpedo does remind me of Diplomatico,and for that reason I do not think it is. Unless Rob knew I would think this,and put in a Diplomatico,knowing I would think it was not.......... The #4 looks like a Choix,but knowing Rob it is not,unless Rob knew I would think.......... I need to lie down................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarbreak Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'll be sure to join next time. This sounds and looks like a lot of fun. From the looks im shooting from the hip and saying 5 - Partagas P2 2- VR Famoso 4- JLO2 3 - Sir Winnie 1-BPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Based on my past, humbling performances in Blind Tasting, I wonder how many I would get right if they left the original bands on the cigars? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Here's a spanner in the works for you all....what if one or even two of these are discontinued? Best of luck! P.S.

dangolf18 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Funny how they all start looking alike when the band is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Funny how they all start looking alike when the band is removed. True...but you know straight away from how they smell that they won't all taste alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Good point....if they taste alike too then it will practically impossible to guess the five! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yagermeister Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 That PC is going to be interesting... I can think of about 9 sticks it could be based on size alone, and that's after eliminating some of the unlikely candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
