Changes to this event :
There are basically no size restrictions : Keep it no more than 7.5 inches, no more than 64 ring gauge just so that we can ship the thing (but for the love of all things holy pick a reasonable size)
Submit 4 Cigars that are the same
No wrapper restrictions, no shape restriction

This is the 12 th iteration of the blind/unbanded cigar contest. The rules are below but basically you are sending me 4 (FOUR) of the same cigars ** same shape cigar** and I will send you back 4 (four) cigars unbanded. The size of these cigars are MOSTLY NOT regulated in this contest ( no more than 7.5 inches, less than 64 ring gauge). Otherwise any size is okay. These cigars can be ANY SHAPE. . The cigar can have any wrapper or color. 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 in about two weeks or 4/30.
Submit 4 of the same cigars. Though shape/size is restricted, color/wrapper can be pretty much anything. Please keep the price of the cigars to UNDER 12 dollars each. Mail the submission to me, include either a return label or 9 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 ( FOUR) 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: flavor was great and 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 10 other iterations of this contest for your review in older discussions... the major difference is that this particular contest is the size restrictions ( any wrapper is okay). Any cigar that fails to meet size or price restrictions will be penalized one point for each transgression ( you know who you are)
Looking forward to the competition again.
