How good is your palate? And how well do you trust it?

That's an awesome idea Joe. I could definitely get three or four reviews done in a two week period, I'm down.

ENFIDL

I love that idea Joe. I'd def be down! I have this whole next week mon-fri off and then not the week after but the one after that I have mon-fri off I don't have an advanced palate but I'll give it the best try I can!

j0z3r

Awesome guys. An advanced palate is not anywhere near a requirement, my hope is that those participating will have a better understanding of their palate and how to interpret what they're tasting when this is over. I'd go so far as to say that anyone who regards himself as an expert cigar taster need not apply.

Awesome idea and sounds like a lot of fun! I'd love to join in. I've been reviewing a bunch of cigars in my personal dossier and think this would be a great opportunity to put some ideas out publicly.

j0z3r

Ok, I've got three, I'll take two more. And for the sake of transparency, this isn't my idea, I borrowed it from another forum.

j0z3r

Also, I'll need addresses from you guys. Tony, I have your info already.

ENFIDL

My palate ends at "this is a good cigar" but this will be entertaining as hell to watch! Great idea.

j0z3r

Alright, looks like I've got my 5. If everything works out (read as: if I'm not too lazy after work) I'll get packs out this afternoon. Oz and Lassy, I'll need your info...and that weeble wobble comment was uncalled for Lassy.

Great idea! This is going to be fun to follow. I get a little self-conscious with things like this or any kind of blind taste test because there are so many cigars talked about on this forum I've never had. Good luck everyone!

this is cool! So if I understand the rules, it goes unsaid that using ANY type of reference material (i.e. google or ccom) other than you're own palate is not allowed?

Redtailhawkoz

Not being the Greatest at Regions and Wrappers etc, But i can Pull flavors ... this should be a HOOT and my Predictions should be AMusing! yet....... I do smoke a Crap load of Cigars and I may do pretty good, I have done well at the Game on here that seems to have died away... I havent seen the thread for a while i guess

Honestly, I don't even think that will be an issue. I don't plan on sending out any cigars that are easy to identify by looking at them.

Packs are in flight.

alienmisprint

Awesome. Without giving anything away, should we make sure to eat a full meal before firing any/most/all of them up?

j0z3r

Tony, I wouldn't say any of them are strong cigars, though 1 and 3 are not a morning type of smoke. They range in the medium to med-full, but none should turn you all green.
