Unbanded Cigar Copy/Paste Contest: Figurado
RobbyCruz
Posts: 584 ✭✭✭✭✭
Hello, I'm Robert.
this is the first (probably last) of the copycat blind smokes as suggested by @EgoBoundary and brought up by @Yakster.
The rules are simple, submit 4 of the same cigars. The size of the cigars must be a figurados i.e., (belicoso, torpedo, salomon, pyramid) I want to see a taper at some point! Wrapper and ring gauge can be whatever you would like to submit. Please keep the price of the cigars to UNDER 12 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 (supposedly).
I will mail you 4 randomized cigars that will be labeled or marked for you to judge. You must be on the good traders list. Do not submit flavored cigars ( no pork 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:
Frank sent me a cigar: 8x80, flavors sucked got a 0/5, construction was miserable (constant burn issues, struggle to get any smoke) got a 0/3, and there were no complexity, as boring as could be 0/2, total score of 0/10.
Don't be like @VegasFrank
There are 5 other iterations of this contest done by @EgoBoundary for your review in older discussions... the major difference is that this particular contest has a shape limitation.
Looking forward to the competition.
Comments
Since I have a feeling this won't get much traction, I will put the sign up deadline at March 1st 2022.
@EgoBoundary @Yakster you have to join, you made me do it! I push all responsibility to you.
@VegasFrank we're friends right? You always do blind smoke bs.
@rsherman24 you probably have some avions somewhere!
@Patrickbrick.... actually never mind I'm not desperate enough to ask you. Yet.
Who else can I mention to be really annoying?
@Bob_Luken @peter4jc @MrShrek @Vision @Rhamlin @Stubble @CalvinAndHobo @Trykflyr_1 @RobbyCruz
In. Not my usual vitola. Thanks for stepping up, Robby. Teamwork makes the dream work.
The last blind cigar you were sent, you lost. I imagine this turning into a **** show, but I will play. I have some gran habano figurado's
@RobbyCruz , I am happy to join in !
@RobbyCruz count me in
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
The deadline to join is March 1st. The deadline for Robby to send out the contest cigars is _________. You all might be badgering him until Christmas. And he'll enjoy the assholery. LOL.
Let me think about it, I'm going to see if Peter's lounge has figurados of certain cigars that others like but that I think are overrated to see if I can lose again.
Don't worry about it, I was going to rig the numbers that way anyways.
Just start writing a letter to your local congress man now while we have time.
So far
Not my favorite vitola but I'm in.
Ask me nicely.
@Patrickbrick.... actually never mind I'm not desperate enough to ask you. Yet
Smart man. I am in no way shape or form getting involved in this “assholery”.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Updated List!
In the last one I sent an extra unbanded cigar for Earnest to try, @RobbyCruz, should I do this in this round too? I guess I'm asking if you'd smoke the unbanded cigar if I sent it.
I recommend , though the contest only says 4 cigars , that you should send one extra ( total of 5 of the same) so that the moderator can join you in the shenanigans , though his or her (I won’t assume Robby’s pronouns ) opinions are worthless.
He probably won't smoke it
@Yakster @EgoBoundary
I would like to participate and smoke them, but I will not require anyone send more than the required 4 and my score will not be in the stats like always.
If you only have 4 of the same figures don't sweat it @rsherman24, I know you are running low.
I am kinda curious on these though, there aren't many blends I buy as figurados so it gonna be interesting.
Is it still a figurado if it's actually a parejo but the wax that seals the glass tube is not in the shape of a cigar?
Peter’s lounge didn’t have what I’m looking for, so I’m out. Next time.
Out of curiosity, what were you looking for?
Lips are sealed until the contest uses a size that the cigar comes in.
