The Good Dr. Insight Blind Taste Test for Moki #1
Summary
One evil pirate has been chosen to receive three unbanded cigars of various origins, price points, and quality. The cigars will be naked (stripped of any bands/cedar), in individual numbered plastic baggies. The participant hasn't paid shit so who knows what I am sending him. He is going to post his three reviews here with pics or a video link and following the guidelines below. When all three reviews have been posted I will reveal to him (and you) what he smoked. I will probably explain my logic in why I chose the cigars I did at that time. Everything is packed up and ready to go out tomorrow so it should reach Andrew by Monday, then the fun begins.
The Participants
The following poor unfortunate soul will be participating in this blind taste test:
Moki - DC# 0103 8555 7496 5802 9665
The Goal
To give Andrew a chance (again) to be on the other side of the test.
The Reviews
Once you receive your cigars, start smoking! I would appreciate it if you didn't smoke these on the shitter, feed them to Kumba, or smoke them under conditions that would otherwise fubar your opportunity to provide insight and observation (but thems your cigars now so you can do what you want).
Review Guidelines
What you're reviewing is the taste of the cigar. I have not clipped these cigars (to avoid accidental damage). You can do whatever the hell you want in terms of measuring them, licking them etc... if you want to be a dirty cheater!
Since I have ulterior motives I have asked Andrew to take some pics or video while reviewing. I am also sort of mixing his guidelines from the blind tests he has hosted on this board. Here we go:
Cigar #: the number of the cigar you smoked
First 1/3rd: 1-10, 10 being the best... how good was the first 1/3rd of this cigar?
Middle 1/3rd: 1-10, 10 being the best... how good was the middle 1/3rd of this cigar?
Final 1/3rd: 1-10, 10 being the best... how good was the final 1/3rd of this cigar?
Summary: be as long or as short as you like, describing what you tasted when you smoked the cigar, your impressions of it, etc.
Price: how much do you think this cigar sells for?
Age: How crusty is the dog rocket?
Country of origin (optional):
Marca (optional):
So that we're all on the same page, here are some general guidelines on the 1-10 ratings above:
10 - Best cigar ever, I would volunteer to be Mr Hands for another one.
9 - fantastic cigar, I would give up villainy and piracy for more.
8 - excellent cigar, I would sell Phil Opus Maduros to raise money for more
7 - good cigar, I would sell Phil Anejos with Opus bands and tell him they were Opus Maduros for more.
6 - pretty good cigar, I would smoke this in the barn if you handed it to me
5 - okay cigar, meh
4 - not my thing: I would feed this to Kumba after a third
3 - not a good cigar, I would feed this cigar to Hotboy instead of smoking it
2 - no thanks... I would rather smoke a cigarette.
1 - vomit... I would rather smoke pole
Enjoy!

I will try to do one of them on Wednesday (but I usually don't smoke cigars during the week).
