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.

I like the blind review from the no-preconceptions standpoint, but how would you keep track of which cigar is which? There would have to be special tags or baggies for each one to keep it straight...

I like the single brand idea and the allowance for different price ranges.

I would name the baggies... Alfa, Bravo, Charlie...

Woah, can I smoke one of the cigars from this review first before we start planning on the next one?

Actually both ideas sound great but I prefer the single brand review. The reason is that when I review a cigar (or smoke one for my first time) I like to read other reviews and compare my opinion to them. I understand that a blind review is something that will give a more pure opinion of a product because you aren't biased by other reviews. Sometimes however reading someone else’s review will point out subtle nuisances that I may have overlooked or missed. I'm still a newb so eventually I may notice these things on my own but for now, having an idea of what I'm smoking helps me out.
