Botl Plugged Cigar Review Panel

[Jfire]

I'm looking for 10-20 guys for a review panel of all cigars smoked next year. I hope to be able to shed some light on just how many CC/NCs are plugged vs non plugged you smoke.
Requirements:
I will require 6 months time on botl min.
You will have to be able to track all cigars smoked Jan 1-Dec 31st next year.(CC/NC)
You will be required to post your results once a month for Data processing.
Nc vs CC percentage does not matter
Not only will this give us a look into plugged cigars( country of origin/brand/year) it will be fun to personally track our smoking habits.

IF U ARE INTERESTED, EVEN IF YOUR SMOKING LEANS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER FOR A CERTAIN PREFERENCE, POST YOUR NAME AND INTEREST BELOW!

I would be interested in jumping on board, love the idea. Interested in seeing the results

 

[CO Smokes]

This sounds pretty interesting. I'd be a lab rat for this one

Question: I probably only smoke about 1 time a week. Is that too little?

 

[Vitty]

I'd be game. Give me an excuse to order some of those cigar review notebook things :thumbsup:

I'm roughly 50/50 NC/CC

 

[Ecks]

Sounds fun but I couldn't do the 50/50 or even 75/25 NC/CC. Good luck guys and have fun!

I'm the same although having this as a motivation might give me an excuse to buy some CC's. Im up for it if allowed! Sounds like useful fun

Btw, I HATE plugged cigars- such a waste

 

[DStan]

Is there a minimum number required to smoke a week?

 

[Tobacco Giant]

If you have trouble getting enough people, you could also have a couple people who smoke CCs exclusively and a couple who smoke NCs exclusively which would keep the balance.

Look forward to seeing the results.

I am game but I don't smoke enough cc's yet...but that could change in the next year? my ratio is probally 85/15 now for nc/cc

 

[Jfire]

I'll wait to see who responds with interest, gather all the averages then make a list. We need to try and get to 50/50 as a whole. It won't be perfect but should still give some insight/data on where we stand on plugged cigars. We may indeed have a few guys on both sides that are heavy one way or the other.

 

[javajunkie]

dude, GREAT idea, and looking forward to the results! unfortunately lean on the southern releases as of yet, or i would gladly help.

actually, to suggest, possibly one each exclusive NC smoker and CC smoker, as control groups?

Same here - great idea though.

If you end up with enough people to get a large enough sample size and the 50/50 by person is dropped, then ill circle back.

 

[Jfire]

Java we just may do a couple of each. If I can find the right mix. In fact I think you'll make a great lab rat! Thanks for joining!
At this point guys post your name if you are interested!!! We will get a list for both sides and average it out.

Never had a plugged CC... Of course they all get stored and smoked at 60.. Dry boxing is for the birds as well..

That's weird. I've smoked 6 CCs in my life and had 2 plugged. All kept and stored and smoked at 62-65%

 

[CasualStogie]

Nathan- gonna be heavier on the NC's

 

[icehog3]

I have been tracking my smokes for the last 2 years, though not making notations of plugs.

I smoke about 95% Cuban, if you end up needing someone like me (i.e., you sign another BOTL up who smokes 95% NC), I would be happy to add the "plug" notation to the tracking I do.

 

[njstone]

I'm up for this! I keep track of all the cigars I smoke anyway, so adding the plugged-not plugged thing is not too much bother.

Right now I'm at about 80%/20% NC/CC, but that might move more towards CC next year, and average around 10/sticks per week. Let me know if that's good enough.

Also, I wonder if we could add another category besides "plugged" and "not plugged," like "too tight" or something. Obviously a cigar that doesn't draw is "plugged," but more often than that I get cigars that draw a little but not enough (and the flavor is ruined because of it). Do you want to add another category, or should we just consider a cigar to be "plugged" if it's too tight to smoke properly?

Up ph? b?n hi?n, chúc b?n hi?n d?t hÃ*ng

I agree.
