ayepatz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So the results from Part 1 - Bolivar are in. I've published them on that thread. Here's a link:-http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=123168&p=605490This week's marca is Montecristo. Following suggestions, I've added an Animal & Derivatives category, so some choices have been moved to that section. I've also added a couple of other options.Otherwise the drill is the same. Fire one up and fill in what you're tasting. Last week's poll was fascinating. Hopefully we'll get more members taking part this week and beat the 37 total of last week!Remember this is by no means definitive, taste is totally subjective, and it's just a fun way of gauging the average palate of FOH people.Enjoy!

JohnS Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I had a look at the Bolivar results and the fact that Earth and Leather were so dominant spoke well for the effectiveness of the polling among our members. I look forward to these results for Montecristo. I'll take an 'educated' guess that cocoa and espresso (and cream perhaps) will be among the most nominated flavours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayepatz Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 In a way I guess it's a bit like trying to quantify the unquantifiable, but it's still interesting how certain flavours dominate. Very excited to see how we get on this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCgarman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 With Monte#4 definitely taste Arabica coffee and cream with some chocolate notes mingled in. Love the flavor profile and I understand why it is perhaps the best selling Cuban cigar in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogus Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 When they are good- hard to beat. When average still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Ayepatz, this is a really cool thing you're putting together! If each marca's thread could be pinned in a master folder, this would be an unprecedented and endlessly valuable resource for the online cigar world! Just think - cigar brands categorized by (generally) achieved cigar palates. Me, I'm just finishing up a mid-2014 Monte Esp 1 and it is just a fabulous ride through the Montecristo profile. Every centimeter introduces a new take on the general theme, much akin to a symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayepatz Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just a couple of days left to run on this poll and interest seems to have cooled. Hope we can still beat last week's 37 total! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
