Here's my application.
I am not that new to cigars, I have enjoyed smoking cigars every once in a while but never with much attention to what I was smoking or to tasting and reviewing. Only recently have I gotten more serious about my cigars and started to take tasting and reviewing much more seriously, which is why I was driven to this forum in the first place. I have been trying everything I can get my hands on and am noticing that my preferences and interests have been shaped by my greater attention to this hobby...which just means that I am buying and smoking more cigars!
With respects to CC, I have very limited experience. Actually I have probably just smoked some Other Origin knock offs that left wondering what the big deal is really all about.
As for my reviews, here are two examples of the types of reviews I have been doing. The first was a blind tasting review that will give you some sense of how I do blind reviews. The second is a review of a cigar that I have smoked multiple times and been able to form an opinion over a series of the same cigars.

I am excited by the opportunity to learn more about cigars and their flavors and would be honored to be part of one of these famous blind tasting flights.
