El Presidente Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Things may have settled down enough to do a blind tasting competitiion for the last quarter of this year. Assuming 24 months rested and the sampler comprises of the following: Cohiba Robusto Partagas Serie D Number 4 Bolivar Royal Corona Juan Lopez Seleccion Number 2 Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Number 2. Wild card Robusto (you won't need to name it..it will be there only to screw with your mind ) How many do you believe you could correctly identify in a blind tasting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I've participated in all sorts of different blinds tastings, here and in other venues. I put 2 or 3, because that's what the numbers support. Anyone who really thinks they can do better that 3 is delusional. You might get lucky and hit it once, but Cuban cigars are too irregular to replicate it regularly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatner's Bassoon Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Over/under 2.5 for me, I’d say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfica_77 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 2 is what I expect if I were to enter. Anything more than that is just the ego talking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetduck79 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 0 for me, no experience and the sticks I have bought I am letting rest until September, have a week at the beach and will sample from my first orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevrknow Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 3 that I smoke regularly and have them down pat. I think. 😁 And possibly 1 other that I have smoked once and ONLY if it was the same as the last one because it stood out so much milder than the others.

billyh79 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’m guessing 3 mostly because I smoke them regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I put zero although I think I could nail a coro as its unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babalouie Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Lol! I believe I can find the nuances of the cigars listed based on experience, but i know that will change once flame hits the foot. Also based on experience…😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I feel very good about Coro and Epi 2. Then not terrible about BRC and PSD4. My only worry is the Juan Lopez and mystery cigar mess with my choices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas.Alpha Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Of those, I’d hit 5/6. The wildcard would be the only issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangBang Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Think I could hit on the coro, d4, and rc! If it's a good JL2, then probably that one too maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mprach024 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’d be shocked if I missed 1. Piece of cake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigsG Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Got tripped up last year where the BRC I thought I was tasting was a D4. And the JL2 was actually a CORO. And so on. So maybe 2-3. Let’s do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smatthews607 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I can confidently say that I may be able to get 2, maybe 3 correct. Have had half of the selection, so I feel confident that I might, possibly get 2 correct accidentally. But would love to try and see how bad I fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
