So last year, Matt (of Matt’s Cigar Journal) got together and conducted a little blind review contest. It was a lot of fun for us (here are the results) and we wanted to do it again this year.
But we decided to change it up and instead of blindly reviewing three random cigars; we thought it would be fun to review three different cigars from the manufacturer of our choosing. Camacho Cigars did something similar a while ago with their own cigars, called the Black Band Project, and we thought it’s be fun to do a take on that ourselves, and since Matt and I date and label our cigars with white bands we call it the White Band Project.
So over the next few weeks Matt and I, who will have exchanged cigars today, will review one of three sticks given by the other and at the end we will try to guess the cigars or at least the manufacturer. There are a few agreed-on rules for the contest.
- Pick three different cigars from the same manufacturer.
- Altadis and General are excluded due to the breadth of their lines.
- Matt can’t pick Pepin and I can’t pick Kelner. Those are too obvious.
This should be a lot of fun, so stay tuned (or RSS’d)! Also here’s Matt’s announcement.
