FOH International Blind Tasting Cigar Number 1 Reveal.

[MickVanWinkle]

Well that’s humbling - should always go with first instinct. The lack of oily sheen threw me a bit.  Also didn’t pick up what I think as the typical stewed fruit. Then again, maybe I need to continue developing my palate (i.e. smoke more cigars).

Oh wow, I'm amazed I got it. First cigar where I actually wrote down notes as I smoked it. Now this RASS smoked better than the box of 25 I have (SOP ABR21). Did these come out of a 50 cab?

For some basic maths. Random chances of getting the right Robusto. 1 in 8. 12.5%. Hard to count but I get 55 entrants with 12 correct. So 22% correct. Pretty good! 

Pretty good? 22% on the first round. If this was a class room, the school would declare a state of emergency.

Only 1 of every 5 students had the correct answer in a multiple choice question of 8.

Sorry Nan!

Despite the shoddy construction I was convinced. Last thing I’d have thunk. RASS!

Cigar #1 was Jul 24 LTA??? My Coros are Jul 23 LTA. My Lusis are Jun 24 LTA. UH OH!!  Time to put all my LTA crappers on BR!  

I honestly don't understand why it was such a horrific turd. I've smoked 150 cuban cigars in the last 20 months and that was hands down the worst one. If that was the first Cuban cigar I ever smoked I'd have quit right there. It would have saved me so much money!!!! It still blows my mind you can grab two cigars from the same box and get two entirely different smokes. I've read it over and over again that it's a numbers game even out of the same box. I can see why so many quit CCs vs continuing to chasing the dragon. I never want smoke another cigar like Cigar #1 ever again.

I was waiting to see your response. I remember the confidence in your review.😁

Hahahah I had a RASS the same day I had the blind, then the next morning I had another. Mine was so spicy I choked on it.

I have no idea how you got to PC, I thought it was typo when you posted. Robusto 125mm, Hermoso 127mm and PC 129mm. Either I got the fattest PC in existence or you got the skinniest Hermoso known to man 😂 

What’s with @Fuzz and Luca picking D5 though? A full 15mm shorter than a Robusto. Or they were hammered and did a typo 😂. Probably still hammered. 

Because both of ours measured about 110-114mm

Listen to Yoda, I did not.

Oh boy, this is going to be humbling 😅

I was torn between RASS and RyJ SC. Fell on the wrong side.

Man, guess I know a little bit about flavor lol. Might be the only one I get correct but thats a good start! Smoking #2 right now. 
 

Surprised so many got that one wrong. Box pressed with a rugged wrapper that color with the little spot things on it. I knew by looking at it.

It was on my list for many of the reasons you cite. My cigar was so plugged I couldn’t get anything and I mean anything from it so I guessed BRC. 4/5 will still be a competitive score lol
