Default Re: Need a newb that writes reviews... (Part 4)

Pictures taken and cigars packaged... this brings the total number of cigars in this series of threads to 80! I'm sending my babies off to get set on fire!!!

I'll let the nomination period go until at least pay day (this friday) so I can pay for the postage...

Pictures will be unveiled once the newbs are selected. Sticks will likely be going out Monday.

This should be another awesome one!

Greetings Dan

I would love to apply for your fourth installment.
I started to get into cigars in June. I had smoked before but never payed attention to what I was smoking.

I attempted a review once:
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34231
As you can see, it was a failure getting zero comments.
Actually, it got one comment, but it was from Mac and he's a post whore so I don't count it.

I would like to offer a few reasons why you should select me.

First
I work 19 hr days.
Normally I can see how this could be a problem.
Lucky for you I'm a stiff and spend my time at work doing as little as possible, leaving plenty of time to enjoy some cigars.

Second
I have a touch of O.C.D.
Again, I can see how this might be a problem.
However, this will result in all my reviews being completed in a timely manner, and thus delivered to you promptly.
Any failure to do so will probably result in me taking numerous trips to my house to check if my front door is locked.

Third
If I am not selected, my wife could see me for the failure that I am.
Possibly leave me, send me to the bottom of a bottle, and set off a chain of events that could ultimately lead to my daughter "dancing" her way through college.

In summary
I have all the time, reliability, and incentives to make your fourth installment a success.

In fairness I would like to offer some reasons not to select me.

First
At a recent herf, I realized I have the palate of a caveman.

Second
I have sausage like fingers.
So, typo's are sure to abound.

Third
MMMMMM Sausage

In summary
You may be able to find someone who isn't as rough around the edges as me.

Thanks for your time
Dom
Umm, Pick this guy

I hope to be considered for round number 5 (crossing fingers that there is a round number 5).

Default Re: Need a newb that writes reviews... (Part 4)

Well since the other people who applied have way more than needed and no one else is applying, I guess I'll go in the less than needed category xD

I'd be more than glad to do the blind taste test, I've only written 1 review, but I believe this one is very thorough compared to some that are in the review section anyway
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=32333

I'm unemployed at the moment, so I can really take my time on the reviews and do more than 1 per day. I'm also pretty new to smoking, my budget is small, so I can only afford maybe 4 sticks a week at best, so this will give me a chance to try stuff I can't get locally and develop a better sense of taste for cigars. If chosen, I will even do my best to get through any dog rockets thrown in for comic relief, I can spare the sick days since I have an infinite amount xD

I've also got 2 trader feedbacks, 1 from a newbie trade, and 1 from a trade between myself and another member.

Either way, while my post count is not that close to 100, neither is anyone else's who applied, I was waiting to see what happened, but since there aren't that many applying, its not like I'm tryin to take the spot of someone that's better qualified!

After herfing with Dan this weekend, let me tell you two that you're in for a treat. Or an ass whooping. Or both.
