Mystery Stick Game

Jetmech_63

I got an idea from the Black Band Project. This game would work like PIF but you send someone 3 cigars, without bands, marked A, B and C. The recieving person smokes them and reviews them, trying to guess what they are. After all 3 are smoked and reviewed the sender posts what A, B and C were. That way we rely completley on our palate(which this is a good opportunity to develop) and no brand hype. This way a "highly rated" cigar can be called a bag of ass or a cheap stick an awesome smoke. Only kicker is the recieving person would have to be willing to smoke all 3 within a few days of reciept, humidified shipping would be appreciated. Whats everyone think? If i get a few people interested i'll start things off on Saturday? Good idea?

I'm down. I dig the games on here quite a bit, and this one sounds like it would be alot of fun.

I know I'm not on the good trader list yet but I think this would be a lot of fun.

To some of us rookies, three is a hell of a lot; if I had to smoke three cigars in a single day, I'd probably burn my mouth out. Maybe make it a one on one comparison?

I would like to participate. Sounds like fun.

Might want to stick a post it note, or flag or something on each stick so that if you send three similar looking sticks, you can tell them apart for review purposes. Might also want to limit Nubs from this pass, they are pretty identifiable. Aside from that, I'm giving some thought into joining this. Put me down in the maybe column.

hmm, well a lot of cigars I have people have already smoked. And I don't think too many of us care what a premium is as far as talking crap about it. I'd be down though.

Jetmech_63

Shooweeet! Sounds like enough of us are interested. I'll kick things off, who wants to be my mystery mooch!

hawaiianbass

Eh, what the hell? I'll be your mystery mooch! This could get interesting. Ck

Jetmech_63

Sweet. It's that easy! PM me your info and i'll get em out saturday!

hawaiianbass

You have a PM! CK

betasynn

Alright so lets clarify the rules, whats the deal?

betasynn

Nope, this runs exactly like PIF. All we need is for Bass to ask for a mooch and things will get rolling.

hawaiianbass

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Who wants to be my mooch? CK

betasynn

I would be happy to be your mooch! Throw me a PM if this is good, I'll hit you back with my details.

hawaiianbass

Great! I got your PM. CK

I got the three mystery sticks from jet today. I'll smoke one of them tomorrow and I'll post my results for all three on Sunday. CK

hawaiianbass

Alright. I got all three cigars smoked and here are my results. Cigar A: Cameroon wrapper, Dominican made. Reminded me of the regular line of La Aurora. Cigar B: Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan made. Reminded me of something Don Pepin Gracia would make but I haven't smoked much of his stuff so I can't say what line. Cigar C: Sumatra wrapper, Nicarguan made. This was a lot like the 5 Vegas Classic to me. Overall I didn't really like cigar A but I did like B and C. So Jet, what are the answers? CK

betasynn

Got three cigars. I'll try to smoke 'em by monday, and get the reviews up.

betasynn

HB's Mystery Stick A I'm a bit of a noob, just as a header. I think it was a Connecticut Wrapper, it had a darker-looking binder, maybe nicaraguan? It wasn't very familiar to me. It had a pre-light draw with chocolate and sweet notes, so I assume the filler is the same country of origin as the binder. It was great toward the last third, and almost tasted like milk. Not sure if I could hazard a guess as for a specific name, I'll think on it a bit more.

betasynn

Oh, and who wants to be my mystery stick mooch?
