Thread: Blind group review, anyone interested?

    Default Blind group review, anyone interested?

    Just wandering if anyone was interested in doing a blind group review? A few people (5-10) with maby 2 differnt cigar brands, with two of each cigar (to get a better review, incase one has a problem or something that may just be a rare problem). THey would come labled by number, the matching ones having the same number. They would get reviewed and once everyone has reviewed them, the names would be posted. There would be a cost, it would be the price of the cigars plus $3.85 shipping. I'm thinking of doing one in the maby $2-3 range and one in maby a $5-7 range so it should cost under $25 at the high end. If your interested just post here, if theres enough people I'll set it up.

    I would love to, but since the hole through Customs has been squeezed a bit, it's been expensive and frustrating. I've had to pay duties on a pack (where the duties were more than double the cost of the smokes if I had bought them in Detroit) and had 2 packages en-route to me returned to the sender labelled as "suspect packages".

    Well you need to get off The Man's List. Maybe if you start running booze cross the Great Lakes in a little speed boat, Custom's will over look your tabacco smuggling ring.

    If enough people get on board I'll give it a whirl.

    Newf, have you considered getting a PO box in the US? You're not too far away for a once a week road trip to check your mail are ya?

    And if you do get one, I'd be honored to be the first one to blow the shit out of it!

    Anyone else? A couple more and I'll start and "offical" thread on it. Also if anyone is worried about sending me money, I'd be fine shipping the cigars first and you can pay when you recieve them (assuming you've been a member here for a while with good standings).

    I don’t know about the good standing, but I'm on a distinguished road, whatever that’s worth.
