El Presidente Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 We will be having a Monthly Friends of Habanos cigar tasting where 8 volunteers are sent a bandless cigar in the first week of the month on the provision that they post a tasting review of that cigar by the last Friday of that month. The cigars sent will be "bandless" and will each be from the same box. The review will need to comply to the review guidelines posted under our review section of FOH. However I will post the box code and the cigar on the last Friday of the month along with the reviews of Ken Gargett and myself. Should make for some interesting comments and reading. Calling for first 8 volunteers who can meet the above criteria (Volunteers will be changed monthly). Just post your intention to participate below and e-mail your details to [email protected] Good Luck!
Ben Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Well I would volunteer but my Cigar Reviews are just about limited to 4 categories. A. Crap B. Average C. Very Good D. F*cking Mind Blowing Tis not exactly Cigar Aficionado material.
El Presidente Posted April 5, 2005 Author Posted April 5, 2005 You pass. Just add "crap" with Pencil lead notes and you have a CA review ;-)
rspdiver Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 What a great idea, Rob. I would be willing to offer my exceedingly mediocre and dubious skills to this. Just email the fabulous Lisa you say? Consider it done, El Dictador!
1f1fan Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 E-mail sent! Doh...to an error and a double post..this can be deleted.
ALB Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I am keen to participate El presidente. My email details are on the way to the first lady. Regards Al
habanablue Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Looks like I missed out on the first 8 but put me down for the next intake! Cheers Sam
El Presidente Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 That wraps it up guys. I will select the cigars today and they will be out friday. I will start a special threat for the tasting notes. DO NOT READ OTHER PEOPLES REVIEWS IF YOU ARE A TASTER Finish your review with a guess of what it is ;-)

1f1fan Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Excellent, looking forward to it. Has a date the reviews are due been set? I guess that would depend on when all 8 reviewers receive the cigars. Thanks for the opportunity Rob. -Paul
WFZone Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 I am looking forward to this testing/tasting. I just hope we dont' get sent an el dog log......lol
wasch_24 Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 I am looking forward to being able to contribute to this little experiment. Gonna have to let it rest for a few after it's long journey to the other side of the world.
cvm4 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Nice score guys! I look forward to hopefully being in the next blind tasting :-D

Sounds like this would be fun and educational as well.
Ken Gargett Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 love the way i go away for a few days and come back and find myself volunteered for something else but anything for the cause...
El Presidente Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Oh...... Spare Me !LOL! Ken..you would be ringing me 4 times a day more than you do now if I had left you off the tasting panel and...the free cigar
rspdiver Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 So Rob, what's the deadline on the first round? My estimation is that the cigars will be in hand roughly mid-month. Are we doing a 30 day period, or should we get them reviewed by April 30th?
El Presidente Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 All reviews to be logged on beween Now and the 5thof May. all cigars should be with you byend of next week.
dragon Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Where's my cigar??? Oh well, a day late and a dollar short again, story of my life :-(
