Homogenized seems to cover what was being conveyed to me. I've only been smoking them for about 12 years so I'm really not an expert in this area. Can I tell the difference in marcas perhaps but a band can have a powerful effect on how you perceive taste. Just my 2 cents.
Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

It makes sense that a NC would have a more defined flavor profile, because they can use tobacco from just about anywhere they want to. Not the same for CC (unless you believe the theory that Cuban buys tobacco from other counties).
This is an awesome idea. Can't wait to see some of the reviews and the unveiling at the end!

Perhaps it depends on the marca. I agree that, to me, some marcas have a distinct flavor (when rolled correctly and with at least a little rest on them), such as Bolivar, Partagas, Cohiba, Trinidad, HdM, maybe others. But then there are some marcas which taste rather "generic Cuban" to me, though my experience with them is limited.
I did just have a Bolivar RC, though, that was definately off. It tasted very generic until the last third, and even then it was only a hint of that Boli profile.
I can see that for some degree. There are certainly some Marcas that IMHO have more distinct flavor profiles that are easier to pick out than others. Of course some of that is going to be experience with said Marca as well.

I've been thinking about that myself?
Do you guys just want to do 1 cigar at a time. 1-5 and have me reveal each cigar after everyones review has been posted?
Maybe instead of sending the reviews to me. I'll start a thread in the Habano review section. Something like blind review cigar No.1,2 all the way through 5 and you guys can just post your reviews in there. That way if you want to edit anything you may have forgotten, you can. But if you guys would rather send them to me. I'll post them all at 1 time. Either way works.
PS: I'll be out of town over Memorial day weekend and away from the computer.

How every you want to do this is fine with me. I'm not a really big reviewer, so any "review" I do will probably be short and to the point, focusing on mainly whether or not I recognize the Marca. And this could be a plus/minus for either you or us, depending, but the only reason I asked if you wanted them sent to you was that I figured you wouldn't want others' reviews affecting the other folks who hadn't yet smoked/reviewed the stick. Your party though, bro'! Just let us know how to proceed.
