This is the second iteration of the blind/unbanded cigar contest. The rules are below but basically you are sending me 4 of the same cigars, and I will send you back 4 cigars unbanded. You rank the cigars/score the cigars. Highest scores get a forum fiver, and pride of the forum. Lowest scores get what's coming to them (just more cigars). Sign up for the contest starts today, ending next week or when we max out
- Submit 4 of the same cigars. The size of the cigars in the contest will be ROBUSTO (petite or normal robusto, avoid double robusto if possible). Please keep the price of the cigars to UNDER 10 dollars each. Mail the submission to me, include either a return label or 8 dollars for me to return/ship you your unbanded cigars.
- I will mail you 4 cigars that will be labeled or marked by ribbon for you to judge.
- We are using rank and scoring to judge the cigars. Rank the cigars 1 through 4 (1 is the best) . Score of is 10/10 points using the suggestions below .
- Maximum number of entries is 12.
- You must be on the good traders list.
Ranking system:
10 points total
5 points for flavor
3 points for construction
2 points for any complexity/transition in flavors
You can use decimal system as well so you can have 4.5/5 for flavors, etc.
Here is an example of score:
Peter sent me a cigar: 5.5 x 50, flavor was great got a 4/5, construction was perfect (no burn issues, great smoke production) got a 3/3, and there were some complexity not super impressive and got a 1/2, total score of 8/10.

I'll play this round
I'll smoke one of Sharon's dog rockets so that someone else doesn't have to
I'll try to repeat
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Damn it my voice to text screwed up. That was supposed to say I was going to smoke one of sherm's dog rockets!
I thought I had a new nickname
Sherm, Jesse, Sharon, what's the difference?
So far
How long would I have to smoke them?
All the way down.
Last time we had 4 weeks , but it ended pretty much at 2-3 weeks, people basically gave time (1-2 weeks) to rest ( except Frank) and then smoked, and submitted score. It’s an excel document on my part ...you can see the other contest we did back in July.
I still have four of the cCase Study 03's left. Maybe I should send those in. 😘
Umbagog does not make a robusto?

Could the entire country be distracted today? What a great time to have a cigar contest?
Agree, I'll jump in
I think that everyone named Peter should also join....
Do we have 5 months to smoke them? 😛
Don't tell me that your vãgina gets too cold to smoke!
Only one week out of the month Franklin.
I think I said 4 weeks last contest, I can make it 6 weeks, if it suites everyone... basically whenever everyone is done
I'm in
@rsherman24
@VegasFrank
@TheKraken
@CommanderDuke1_
I am going to give until Wednesday to attract stragglers... lots of distractions (country wide)
You forgot @IndustMech . are we full at 5?
I'm going to sit this one out.

Earnest, you should be the fifth. We will send the cigars to you unhanded. You will know who sent which cigars but not what they are
That’s a good idea ! Let’s do it that way, I will unfortunately be unblinded of my own cigar, and I won’t be able to win my own competition... but “ I’m in”
I will be sure to send you a participation prize since you can not win. Addy up
I have already received Wade’s sticks! So I will close this tomorrow, let’s send off cigars.... you can send them unbanded for maximum “blindness”
Would you send your address over please? Not sure I have it
