Default Re: Rev's Blind Reviews - the revelation

Now I will ask the question that I have had from the very beginning of this experiment.

How many people smoke cigars and have their expectations and their tastes influenced by the name associated with the cigar?

Every one of these samples was a cigar I enjoy. And other than the Tat J21, they are cigars I will probably have on hand.

The J21 is one which is pricier - I had smoked a couple that were gifted to me, but hadn't bought any for myself. Nor am I sure that I will, for smaller RG Tats seem to taste better to me. The size was in keeping with the others for this review, and I know people "LOVE" them, so I bought a box and shipped them off to the guys. It was the one cigar that I "thought" might get higher reviews that it really should because of its name.

The D cigar has raised the reviews which surprise me the most. I cannot reveal that one yet, for one of the guys who got all the other reviews in, is still outstanding. This one I truly wonder if they were affected in travels. I have smoked a couple since reading some of the reviews and do not find the same issues at all. And the flavors I find are somewhat significantly different. Of course, different palates will find different things in the same cigar.

This has been fun.
