Chibearsv Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’d be happy with 2 but aggravated if I missed the BRC out of that bunch. Which of course makes missing it a sure thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 4 (excluding the BRC) are in my regular rotation, and I think the differences between them are large enough for me to differentiate .... BUT ... when I go blind I'm sure it will be real different. voted 1-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry is the Juan Lopez and mystery cigar mess with my choices. I am with this, and others from regular production like JL, RASS, can really complicate things.

dealsrme Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Probably 2. All are in regular rotation but a cigar sommelier I am not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpchips Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I voted 1 or 2, thinking dumb luck would have me guessing 1/6. wild card? El pres is going to have a duplicate of one of the other cigars to mess with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KavalanWhisky Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 some of the guys have been talking about this, as soon as you take the bands off something magically happens where you second guess yourself and even question the RG and size of a cigar and then when you get to the tasting part the real challenge is to not jump to a conclusion right away as it's hard to veer from that and you probably miss things as you are so sure its the cigar you think it is. Seriously just try for fun and take off the bands and smoke a few and see if you can tell which is which. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The CORO is significantly different from the others on this list I have enjoyed. I have no experience with the JL because I haven't had one. To me the Bolivar, RyJ, SDNo4, and Hoyo are all enough different (terrible grammar I am sure). I don't have a discerning palate and can't describe a flavor nor do I know what stone fruit is, but I notice the differences in flavors if that makes sense. Maybe I am just an idiot, I don't really know, but those four, IMHO, are distinctly different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Honestly if it was all 8 Robustos in regular production I'd still feel better about it than if I had to guess the 4 minutos in regular production blind. I feel that the minutos are a tough bunch to do blind, I think I could tell the Party Shorts from the rest pretty well, but the other three are a mystery sometimes. I know what they're supposed to taste like but I get earthy flavours in all at times even in the El Principe which is supposed to be molasses.

HuffnPuffff Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I would love to do this! I know from regular wine tastings that it’s harder than you think. If you’re blind folded it’s sometimes even hard to guess correctly whether you’re drinking red or white wine (if they’re served at confusing temperatures).I think I’d get 2 out of 6 right.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolismoker Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’m guessing I could get 2or 3 of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxer31 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 are in my regular rotation- PSD4, BRC, JL2. Smoke enough of the epi2 as well. Would like to think I could pick the PSD4 and the epi2 but not kidding myself be lucky to get one with bands off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KavalanWhisky Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Haha I should have read the initial post before i posted....so agree we should have a blind tasting competition!! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I voted 2-3 as well. Been a while since I've done a mass blind tasting & look forward to seeing this come to fruition. One reason I love FoH and this community!

Blind tasting is a great reminder to be humble. In wine, whisky and cigars. A great wine critic once got asked "have you ever mistaken Bordeaux for Burgundy?"..."Hmm, not since lunchtime". 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
