What do you think about this research project?

Hey, you can't post, go back to programming!?!? I haven't seen much of you lately bud so I figure I would see if I could get a rise.. Glad to see you're still around.

I was just curious about this and I wanted an update! Any problems so far?

[SeanGAR]

So, after 6 weeks at 60 °C and I have stopped this part of the experiment. They are now at room temperature and 70% humidity where they will relax for one week. The estimated extra aging is about 1.85 years.

I need a number of tasters to volunteer to compare a pair of cigars and to tell me which of the two they prefer. I would rather they be smoked side by side rather than at separate times, but I won't be there to police you. They are Nicaraguan cigars, if that matters.

I already have taken the liberty of "volunteering" myself, Da Klugs, radaR and TXMatt for this duty (sorry guys, this isn't a case where you can unvolunteer yourselves).

I have 7 pairs of cigars remaining so I need 7 volunteers to smoke the cigars and let me know which of the pair you prefer. I will send the cigars blind, you will not know which is which. They will be in separate baggies with three digit codes on them. PLEASE DO NOT MIX THEM UP. If you want to write a mini-review of the cigars, all the better, but all the information that I am requesting is your preference.

If you would be willing to test them, post below. They will be sent out in 10 days or so, after I am satisfied that the cigars are equilibrated to room temperature and are tested to be smokeable.

Thanks
Sean

Sean, if you've still got room, I'll give it a shot, unless you are looking exclusively for more experienced palates. In which case, I will defer gladly to said experienced tasters.

[Da Klugs]

This is cool. If it works let's load the next batch up with PSD4's and Monte #2's and put 10 years on em.

So glad I did that patent application.

Thanks again for including me Sean. If you have issues with more volunteers I know that OldDog would love to participate.

ME ME ME!!!!! (I'm not warming up to sing.....)

THX.

Unless you mind 65% RH, since that's what I'm running.

[D. Generate]

I'd like to try this out! I'm really curious if it works.

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

I'd be a willing victim....I mean participant if you don't mind a complete newb taking part in your experiment. If not, I understand and its no problem.

[Roger Miller"]

I'd love to give this experiment my services. I've been watching the forum for the results. So, if you still need someone to blind test the results -- id' be happy to do so.

And that gives me the volunteers that I need, many thanks.

Dave, I'll contact OldDog and send him a review sample as well.

I will get bafck with y'all in a week or so when I am satisfied that they are in smoking shape.

Ciao
Sean

I am officially excited. This is the first test I have had since the bar exam. This gives me a legitimate excuse to study, in a subject I really like.

[Uniputt]

I've been watching this thread since it's inception. I think the results are going to be quite interesting. Imagine. The holy grail of cigar aging.....a whole new science birthed right here in the jungle!!!

The anticipation is killing me!!!


HURRY UP Y'ALL!!!


(Next thing you know we'll be using a pressure cooker to speed up the process even further!!!! )
