Positive ID - Test II

[jesto68]

Welcome to the 2nd installment of my blind taste test.

The contest is in two parts. Here are the rules:


Part 1 – Taste Test

-The first 4 people to PM me will become the contestants.
-Contestants must be a jungle member for over 90 days, and have completed at least one trade.
-Each contestant will receive a package that will contain two un-banded sticks.
-Each contestant will be given the same sticks.
-I will post pictures of the un-banded sticks on this page.
-The contestants will smoke the sticks, and post a review.
-Each review will come within 3 weeks of receiving the package.

Each review will contain:
---Your honest opinion of the stick.
---A guess at what the stick is.

-After each contestant posts a review, I will score them based on accuracy.
--1 point for the correct manufacturer or brand (i.e. Padron)
--1 point for the correct line (i.e. 1964 Anniversary)
--1 point for the correct wrapper (i.e. Cameroon)
--Tie Breaker – the price I paid for each stick. (i.e. $14.95)

-The winner will receive a special prize from me.

Part 2 – Picture Perfect

-Anyone who is not a taste test contestant can submit guesses based solely on the pictures I post.
-These guesses should be in the same format as above.(Manufacturer, Line, Wrapper, Price)
-Each picture contestant can make 3 guesses (once per week)

-The winner will receive a special prize from me.




-I run the contests because they are fun and I like to see what people think about cigars without the pre-conceived opinions that bands and brands bring.
-NO STICKS ARE EXPECTED IN RETURN, but I am overwhelmed by the generosity I find on this board.


Bottom line – smoke often and have fun!!
