Close but no cigar

I like the idea but the only problem would be the overall process of what it takes to have a winning blend. If everyone was given the same batch of tobacco all it would show was who could roll a better cigar, not who could make a better cigar. I remember a comment from a DPG event that was "You can teach a monkey to roll a cigar but you can't teach him how to blend it."

The way I understood the original post, the idea was that the competitors would also be creating the blend from a variety of tobacco, not just rolling. not that it matters, since we're talking about a purely hypothetical idea.
