El Presidente Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A special shout out to DrunkenMonkey who is tracking three for three Is there anything more humbling in the cigar world than a blind tasting competition? We had 13 winners which is a good result...albeit there aren't too many Cuban Churchills out there. Welcome to the Romeo y Julieta Churchill EAG SEP 14 Well done to those who picked it I have been involved in more blind tastings than birthdays. I would bat 2 in 5 on regular production at a guess and way worse than that on aged cigars..... but it is still a thrill to nail it Nominations for Cigar Number 4 are due by Friday the 8th of July. I will put up a thread later today for your reviews. Please ensure that you e-mail your results to [email protected] For those who nailed cigar number three! A $25 credit for any cigar you pick right to be used on a box (or sampler) purchase over $125 (USD/AUD) from the carts or 24:24 stock. This must be used within 20 days of the winners of that round being announced. It can not be applied to orders you have already made. To make it easy, you have until the end of June. I look forward to your reviews on Cigar number 4! Have a cracker weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Wow. This cigar was pretty devoid of any RyJ characteristics for me, and very mild. Had to go with the QD Imperiales. Glad I didn't buy a box of these! Two RyJs in a row that had no RyJ in them. Just when I thought RyJ was coming around... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archosaur Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Nice job drunkenmonkey! I think I will use a combination of voodoo, darts and coin flips to make my remaining selections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabashcr Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Glad I had plenty of company in incorrectly picking the BCG. I didn't really think it was a BCG, but I was positive it wasn't the RyJ. If this were a prize fight, now would be a good time for my corner to throw in the towel. Congrats to those who got it right, and drunkenmonkey, damn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lant63 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think I went with BCG because how poorly it was smoking. It was tunneling bad, and I wasn't getting much other than leather..... Oh well, onto the next two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeedubbya Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm going to kick back smoke my next one and pick....Gurkha Ghost. Because if I keep guessing in the majority and getting them wrong I believe I'm going to shank someone. On top of all that I'll get the pleasure of feeling like I'm a billionaire for 45 minutes to an hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumadoro Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Huge congratulations to DrunkenMonkey! I was surprised with this cigar's identity. Mine was completely without RyJ flavors besides maybe some dry woodiness. I thought the profile was closser to the BCG, albeit a poorly performing one. I got a lot of hot smoke and a very misshapen burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
