We used to do a lot of blind tests in the other forum days and some here when CA got up and going. Not a big draw now, though, not like it used to be. I read a lot of those taste tests and I knew what people liked that were doing the reviews. Without bands, they (and I) would often pick a cigar I know we wouldn't buy and would be very surprised by what it offered. Then sometimes the high end smoke would get a 'me' nod unbanded. Those days were real eye openers. I know what I like now but I know diving back in a BTT would probably offer up some surprises. The power of suggestion does play tricks.
