  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Blind Cigar Review

I have always wanted to host a blind cigar review. I have a bunch of smokes that I like or are a little htf that I would like to know what some others thought of them without knowing what they're really smoking. So I have been looking through my coolerdor and I figured that I can take 6 people and send out 15 cigars per person. They will all be the same 15 cigars individually numbered. I would like to do at least 2 cigars a week and if everyone is moving through them quicker I will post the results quicker.

The review will be in this format:

Pre-light: The wrapper? Smell?
First 1/3:1-10 with 10 being the highest; Thoughts?
Second 2/3: 1-10 with 10 being the highest; Thoughts?
Final 3/3: 1-10 with 10 being the highest; Thoughts?
Est. cost: Fill in what you believe the estimated cost is
Est. cigar: If you are feeling froggy try to guess!
Rating: I will fill this in by taking the 1/3, 2/3, and final 3/3 and averaging them out
**All reviews will be sent to me via pm and not posted in the thread! I will post them once everyone has finished that cigar.

Post in the thread if you're interested and then PM me. The cost will be $100 which will cover the cigars, ** fees, and shipping. I promise that you will be happy with spending this $100 to get these smokes! (Hint: 15 smokes that average around $10 a stick)

***Please do not feel like I'm looking for only the most experienced smokers, Someone who can give me a minimal review will be nice too. Maybe you will be surprised with yourself at what you will start to notice***

Come on guys!!! I don't need everyone to give a perfect or long review. If you can just say it's spicy and then smoothes out and give me a number 1-10 I will be happy. I'm looking to get a wide variety of people trying them out!

If I could drop 100$ on cigars right now, I would definitely be in.
I do however look forward to the results.

Count me out, I've been lucky to smoke one every 2 - 3 weeks. Are these little cigars? If these are quick 30 min cigars I could do it but I doubt they are. I'm excite none the less.

Man, I'd be all over this if I had the money. VERY cool idea and although I'm a noob, I'd be up for trying something like this out.

Looking forward to the reviews!

Love the idea, have one thought for you. Maybe cut the amount of sticks and cost in half to get more responses.

I passed on an earlier one this year and must pass on this one too. I simply have too many singles, I need to smoke through them this year. Good luck.

I gotta agree with headbanger, if it were 7-8 sticks at 50 bucks I would be all over it. Good luck tho, I can't wait to see what ppl think and what the sticks are.
