I am not discrediting your testing or anything like that, I truly want to know.

No they did not know exactly what cigar they were smoking as I removed the bands - but since it was a popular cigar with my group they were not un-familiar with them. I don't know if it would have mattered or not - guess if they had known which one it was they could have gotten more to compare to. On the other hand I guess my view is that if someone says they can tell a frozen cigar verse a non one - really shouldn't matter.

A yes it may not have been entirely on the up and up to send three non-frozen and three all frozen samples - but it sure was fun to see the results -

Honestly I really believe it's the knowledge of knowing that they were frozen that taints the perspective of it all.
