Consistency is key!! @Duxnutz

Better lucky than good! First cigar I got nothing.The capsicum and sourdough was pretty prevalent on number 2.

Last year had I think 3 out of 5 cigars aged. Figuring out which ones were aged was part of the challenge.

That was 4-5 years ago from memory. Different times stock availability/selection

I’ve had 2 very confident swings, and 2 misses. I’m sure in due course I’ll cycle through all 5 stages of grief, but for now I’m stuck on denial. Assuming these are 5 different cigars, it should be getting easier as the number of options decreases.

I’ve decided to smoke the remaining cigars blindfolded and with ear plugs in, to heighten my remaining senses. What could possibly go wrong?

I'd say now would be the time for me to pick up my chips & leave the table LOL. These tastings have humbled me in the past & I'm sure the last 3 cigars will too...

That’s what happened to me last time too, started 2/2 then went 0/3. I won’t be surprised if it happens again. These things are humbling, but very interesting and a lot of fun. Thanks FOH for the challenge.

Ooof - tough miss considering how many D4s I burn through. This has been humbling and enlightening. Makes me wonder if ignorance was bliss.
