Sutton Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah I think the pyramids would be 3 for 3 and 2/3 on the cg's. I look forward to taking the challange.
shrink Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I've got all of these in the humidor, and smoke 'em fairly frequently, so I would probably get 'em all.
SigloIII Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure i'm go 6 for 6. I'm very familiar with the taste profiles of each. I'm on the same page. I have very little doubt that I can get 6 out of 6.
sepp Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Question. If you get two, don't you get the third by default?
frenchkiwi Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 yeah i'm with aizuddin 6 outta 6, as long as they are not Outliers in terms of their flavour. now if you want to prove us wrong just send out a free sampler and i will report results in all honesty. ha ha.
SeanL Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I would probably be able to get the corona gordas right. The piramides would be more of a challenge though.
Erm310mce Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'd like to think I would be able to guess the piramides, but never tried a blind test. Sounds like a fun challenage
Habanos2000 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'd say as long as I knew what brands they were, I feel pretty confident I'd nail all 6. Now if this was a totally blind tasting, I'd be lucky to get any.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Question. If you get two, don't you get the third by default? My thought also. Unless, technically, I'm sure you could guess the same brand for multiple sticks. But...? Anywho, I figure (and voted) that I think I could get all the pyramides right, chose 3 out of 3 for that one. But, for the CG's, I'm thinking I may only be 2 for 3 on that set - exactly for the method I stated above to Sepp, that I figure I'd easily get the Cohiba profile, but that I'd struggle with the other two and would probably just get HDM for both remaining, something like that. But, I've always had great luck in picking out the differences in those pyramides - those flavour profiles in that format are really distinctive to me, I feel.
aes8 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure I'm go 6 for 6. I'm very familiar with the taste profiles of each. I'm with you. Rob, Maybe you could turn this into a tournament? Somehow record our scores, via video, or centralized annual HERF. Maybe we all meetup at the Habanos Festival or the future FOH Annual HERF in your neck of the woods. Thoughts?
LeafLover Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I think I would go 6 for 6 on this. All six different marcas and their respective vitolas in question here have very different flavor profiles. I have most experience in these two vitolas, and especially with the marevas. Should the vitolas be robustos, dalias or julietas, I'd bat way under .500.
thechenman Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Question. If you get two, don't you get the third by default? Assuming you knew all six...that is quite true.
semery74 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I feel I am ready Master. We should partner up and try this by, sending each other random selections, ask Rob and the gang to tally and proctor the results. The correct results can be sent via email to Rob so they can be fairly administered. Perhaps a consolation prize could be awarded to the Best Palate of 2011! We should probably also include vintage and if you're really good, the Vega.
Loki Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I have smoked all these sticks but hey I'm not perfect so I'd have to go with 2/3 piramides and 2/3 on the CGs.
ZinZan Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I'm quite familiar with 2/3 of the pyramides, sampled 2/3 of the CGs. I'm quite confident i'll get 2 of pyramides and 1 of CG
