That's a pretty neat idea - and would help on the first cost side of things. It would also be pretty cool to get a really nice box of smokes to review.

Nah, we have a couple more guys who want to join in and I think we will be able to accommodate a different number of participants for each round. I am going to try to come up with an easy way for everyone to determine what sticks they want to review, and how much money they want to spend.

So, for example: We decide to go really big and buy 4 boxes of cigars, participant #1 only wants to review mild smokes, and doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so they end up reviewing 1 cigar A and 2 cigar B's. But participant #2 likes powerful sticks and has some cash to blow - he buys 3 of cigar C and 5 of cigar D. And so on, as long as I can find homes for every cigar that is purchased. The more participants we have, the more likely I find homes for all the sticks.

I am going to put my thinking cap on and talk with Miguel about this... it might be easier to keep track of if we had a page dedicated for the Mega Review.

By the way, I would like to throw two more options into the ring for the next round: JdN Antano Dark Corojo and El Triunfador Lancero (from Pete Johnson). These are both full strength sticks, the JdN is around $7/stick and the Triunfador is around $8/stick

If any of you guys have some ideas on all this I am all ears - and if someone thinks that this should be run by a more established member I won't be offended at all. It is pretty cool to get to organize something like this and I appreciate the opportunity, but when we start talking about larger dollar amounts I don't want people to feel nervous about sending money to a newbie from AZ. PM me any suggestions or comments you have, or just post them here.

Have a great weekend guys!
