6 Robusto Blind Tasting?

[El Presidente]

Things may have settled down enough to do a blind tasting competitiion for the last quarter of this year. 

Assuming 24 months rested and the sampler comprises of the following:

 

Cohiba Robusto

Partagas Serie D Number 4

Bolivar Royal Corona 

Juan Lopez Seleccion Number 2 

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Number 2. 

Wild card Robusto (you won't need to name it..it will be there only to screw with your mind )

How many do you believe you could correctly identify in a blind tasting

I've participated in all sorts of different blinds tastings, here and in other venues. I put 2 or 3, because that's what the numbers support. Anyone who really thinks they can do better that 3 is delusional. You might get lucky and hit it once, but Cuban cigars are too irregular to replicate it regularly. 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Over/under 2.5 for me, I’d say.

Ditto.

2 is what I expect if I were to enter. Anything more than that is just the ego talking...

[Wetduck79]

0 for me,  no experience and the sticks I have bought I am letting rest until September, have a week at the beach and will sample from my first orders.

[Nevrknow]

3 that I smoke regularly and have them down pat. I think. 😁 And possibly 1 other that I have smoked once and ONLY if it was the same as the last one because it stood out so much milder than the others.

[billyh79]

I’m guessing 3 mostly because I smoke them regularly.

[KCCubano]

I put zero although I think I could nail a coro as its unique. 

[Babalouie]

Lol!  I believe I can find the nuances of the cigars listed based on experience, but i know that will change once flame hits the foot.  Also based on experience…😅

[Bijan]

I feel very good about Coro and Epi 2.

Then not terrible about BRC and PSD4.

My only worry is the Juan Lopez and mystery cigar mess with my choices.

[Jimmy_jack]

Of those…4. I’m in.

[gllerner]

Absolutely think I could distinguish them without labels and possibly blind folded

Of those, I’d hit 5/6. The wildcard would be the only issue...

[ChangBang]

Think I could hit on the coro, d4, and rc!  If it's a good JL2, then probably that one too maybe?  

[Chas.Alpha]

...he says while sitting, burning a BRC.

[mprach024]

I’d be shocked if I missed 1.  Piece of cake

[MigsG]

Got tripped up last year where the BRC I thought I was tasting was a D4. And the JL2 was actually a CORO. And so on. So maybe 2-3.

Let’s do this!

[Smatthews607]

I can confidently say that I may be able to get 2, maybe 3 correct. Have had half of the selection, so I feel confident that I might, possibly get 2 correct accidentally. But would love to try and see how bad I fail. 

[Habana Mike]

Well, looks like at this point we have 3 cocksure folks that think they'll get all 6!

I’ve had all those many times over and still didn’t do well…

Lol 4 now, and no I was not one of them

Neither was I!

[inter4alia]

I'm looking forward to both playing and failing. My last blind tasting adventures were very humbling.

6 out of 6 here. Going big!
