#1 & #15 Blend Testing Update

[El Presidente]

This weekend we find out what will be the Robusto for MOFOH in December of this year. Our FOH tasting panel will be hard at work. 

I think both blends are excellent but they are at the same time quite different.  

The panel will make a decision and any recommendations for final tweaks. Hamlet is in the factory from Sunday and so he can start working on the final version Monday. The final "Robusto Trinity"  will have a pigtail. 

 

The MOFOH Spada Gorda is a only a few weeks away from being offered. You are going to love them. 

MOFOH is very much about what you good people want in a blend and size. It lines up beside Nudies/Desnudo where the blends are solely determined by Hamlet and myself. 

MOFOH panel will evolve over time with members added/adjusted during each 12 month cycle. MOFOH is a big concept. See if you can guess the MO

My guess would be Members Only…

Modus Operandi of FOH: Getting good cigars into the hands of the people who want them and contribute to their conception, via strategic input.

Since FO = Friends Of

MO = Members Of

Mojo of FOH. Because we are all lucky to be here.

The MOFOH Robusto side by side tasting was completed yesterday. 

I can't thank enough the panel who made it on the day. The rest of the lads will put in their notes to the Cauldron later this week. 

Consensus was the #1 and #15 blends are both excellent. 

Hamlet joined the discussion in the last half an hour to add some texture/detail to the discussion. 

Decision made. You will see the MOFOH Robusto Trinity early December. 

Well done gents

Did Hamlet replace @Chas.Alpha with Debbie for the tasting group?  😜

I like the fact that the screen shot caught my best side!!!😬

Since it’s open discussion, here it is: (IMO) Blend #1- Coffee baker’s cocoa. Great lift of holiday spice. Reminded me so much of a Boli RC that I’m certain I couldn’t tell much of a difference. From my POV that is Brilliant! I’m in for the 1st bundle! (I told Rob to add a touch more sweetness, just to mess with his head! -inside joke)

Blend #15: Hamlet’s baby- Rich and savory, I suggested that this blend lends itself to a Churchill/DC format. Apparently, there are 3000 cigars already being produced on Rob’s nickel. As fast as you can type for a box of $300 Fundy’s on 24/24 get them. I would, but Hamlet doesn’t like me very much…😔
