Unbanded Cigar Contest: Robusto Edition

EgoBoundaryEgoBoundary Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭✭✭

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

  1. 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.
  2. I will mail you 4 cigars that will be labeled or marked by ribbon for you to judge.
  3. 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 .
  4. Maximum number of entries is 12.
  5. 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.

    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. 😘

    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

  • EgoBoundaryEgoBoundary Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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”

  • rsherman24rsherman24 Posts: 7,241 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I will be sure to send you a participation prize since you can not win. Addy up

  • EgoBoundaryEgoBoundary Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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”

  • TheKrakenTheKraken Posts: 2,253 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Would you send your address over please? Not sure I have it
