MEGA Review II Signup & Voting

[TachyCoventry]

Just got back in the office and found a box on my chair! I'm going to throw these sticks in the humi tonight and let them relax for a couple days.

They all are in really good shape too, I think that has to do with the box they came in (thanks Buzz)!

Glad they got there - you may want to let them rest at least a week since they were in transit for a while. I knew you would like the Kinky box!

So guys, everyone now has their sticks to review (oddly enough the original "packages received" date is correct). Here is the loose timeline I would like to follow:

Wed, April 28 – all packages received
Mon, May 10 – review due for Cusano, results posted Fri, May 14
Mon, May 17 – review due for JdN, results posted Fri, May 21
Mon, May 24 – review due for Kinky, results posted Fri, May 28
Mon, May 31 – review due for LFD, results posted Fri, June 4
Mon, June 7 – review due for El Triunfador, results posted Fri, June 11

This is really just my maximum timeline, if you guys get to smoking them earlier that is fine with me - makes my job easier. So far, with just the few reviews that I have received this is turning out to be a very interesting MEGA Review (monster truck voice) - we have a good lineup of sticks and a very good variance (is that the right word?) in participants.

Here is the post where I am keeping track of the reviews received: http://www.cigarsmokers.com/threads/...643#post150643

Don't forget to take photos if you can - and then upload them to the Group area. Thanks guys and enjoy the cigars!

I just put your review in the mix - dang Ken, your review made me want to go right home and fire up mine tonight!

Kinky and the Trifunador are down. I guess I should smoke that Cusano now since it's due first...Is there going to be a quiz?

I had an idea that I'd like to throw out to you guys. What if we were to review a brand from top to bottom? For example, let's take Oliva. We could do the following:
MBIII
Serie O-G-or S
FdO's...either originals, or the other varieties.
Add in the myriad other products that Oliva makes for others and you have a crap-load of cigars in a wide range of prices. Even if you stick to only Oliva labeled cigars....pretty nice $$ range of sticks.

This could be done for a heck of a lot of brands. LaAurora.....Fuente......Camacho....Tat.....Padron ....etc.

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting.

I say we start with Padron and the maduro millennium sticks. I put myself out there and take at least two. Make sure to shop around for best price.

That sounds like a great idea, and it sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

I like it - this would help simplify the voting too.

One other rendition of the Mega Review that I was pondering the other day was to include one stick in everyone's package that would not have a band - so that stick would be a "blind" review. Or perhaps we make a future Mega Review be the "blind" version, where every cigar is a blind review.

Maybe MEGA Review III is the "ashauler single manufacturer" version, and then MEGA Review IV is the "blind" version.
