This is the third 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 April 1.
Submit 4 of the same cigars. The size of the cigars in the contest will NOT be restricted( keep it reasonable for shipping purposes). This means you can send 5 of your favorite vitola. 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 not limit the number of people submitting as this hasn’t been a big issue in the past.
I will mail you 4 randomized cigars that will be labeled or marked by ribbon for you to judge. You must be on the good traders list. Do not submit flavored cigars ( no beef with those cigars, but it will influence other submissions)
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
Scoring 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.
There are two other iterations of this contest for your review in older discussions... the major difference is that this particular contest will not have any specific size limitation.
Looking forward to the competition

Yes... I see how (a lack of) punctuation can make this sound awkward
Full disclosure, I am easy, but it won’t help you win the competition
Tomorrow is the last day!

I am not sure if you are on the good traders list yet @RobbyCruz ... but I have seen you enough on the Vherf to vouch for you...
This closes tonight ( or tomorrow morning)
I'll vouch for Robert. He's got a newbie trade going with Bob right now. If he doesn't send any to you Ernest I guess he doesn't get any lol. Pretty safe one as far as that goes. And he's a nightly regular on the vherf too...
Post your tracking number in the newbie trading thread @RobbyCruz once you ship and you're good to go.
That’s a double vote of confidence... he is in... and the contest is off to its start
Was going to send out today, but then heard @peter4jc won the lottery. Need to visit the cellar before I head to the PO
