I would like to run this either in Nov or Jan depending on response. Don't want to step on the toes of Binder with the 12 days of Christmas. I got the idea from the latest edition of Cigar magazine and the Mark Twain story about his cheap cigars. Here is how it works. I buy two cigars for the first 5-10 people to reply. One Dog Rocket and one well known brand. No labels just a 1 and 2. I ship them out to each person. They have one week to smoke both cigars and submit a review and guess which cigars they were sent. Each person will get the same two cigars. The person with most accurate review and the correct cigars wins the grand prize. Grand prize will be determined at a later date. Let me know what you think.

Woo hoo already got one person in under 5 minutes. I would like to get people who like doing reviews since I'll be using this as a chance to work on my skills.

That would be fun with CC's. Way too many NC's to guess from, especially on the cheap end...

I don't have CC to hand out so that wouldn't work for me, besides it has to be a challenge can't have everyone getting the right answer.

I just read your first review and I think it qualifies you for this trade or whatever it would be called.

This would be open to everyone who meets the criteria for any of the regular PIFS, RATS, and Box passes. Hopefully it will give people a chance to write a review that normally wouldn't as well as give a chance for the regular reviewers to show there stuff.

I think we can go with 10 people and I'm not looking for sticks in return. This would be like a bombing run. Maybe thats what I should call it "Mark Twain Bombing Run Review."

I didn't realize you were sending the cigars. For some reason I thought it was like the RATS where everyone sent out secret packages, but with the 2 gars unbanded. I wouldn't expect you to send out 20 free cc's to people, lol.


Go Beavs!

Well only compared to some people. Compared to most noobs your a cigar prince Adam! Just don't go around telling me who I can send cigars to or not! If I want to send some cigars out, you'll shut up, smoke 'em, like 'em and say "thank you sir can I have another!" Clear?

All cigars that come this way will get return package. Tiz the fair thing to do.

This is a great idea!!! I would love to participate but I have to decline. Writing a reveiw would be no problem. However writting one that consisted of more then "Wow I really liked that cigar", or "EWWWWWW!!! That thing sucked the big one", is a little beyond my tasting skills atm Smile


Giggidy, giggidy... ALRIGHT!!!
