Last years competition was an absolute hoot and who can forget Keith's performance in nailing all three of the cigars :clap:

For those wishing a review of the process and final results click FOH 2011 BLIND TASTING COMPETITION FINAL RESULTS

Whether novice or experienced in Habanos, the competition provides an excellent opportunity to participate in a learning experience. By reviewing the cigars and reading others reviews we all come away with a better understanding of the process as well as the cigars flavour profile. Blind tasting cigars is a hellishly difficult process but it is one of the best ways to learn about Habanos (I learn't a great deal from many of the reviews)...and have some fun at the same time
