The only real cost to play should be the postage for each send. post everything here on your thread so everyone keeps everyone honest, and keeps interest with constant bumps.pics are always fun.

This wouldn't be a blind taste test to get the reviewers to try something outside their own experience. This is beyond that. This is a review panel to get some perspective to all of us. Frankly, I have done exactly what you are stating, been the one sending out the sticks - been on the receiving end. Even did one where I sent out 5 different stick to 3 different people to see how they compared the same sticks. With one cigar of a particular vitola, sometimes there are issues, every once in a while a cigar escapes to get into our hands that is completely unsmokable. More than one cigar of a sample will hopefully alleviate that.

Hey, if you don't like the idea, you don't need to play.
