Comments and conclusion
Everything is packed and ready for the Post Office tomorrow AM.
Samples are in a plain white plastic mailing bag with the exception of 3 boxes (accounts settled). Each bag should have four (4) blind samples marked with a color coded label and a letter. Choose whichever sample you wish to review and review as many as you like but we won't reveal the identities until each person has submitted at least one review.
I used the blind sampling to test my vacuum sealer and the differences between the types of seal. It's possible that you'll have vacuum or non-vacuum sealed bags and I apologize if the samples vary in weight. There are eight (8) highly aged tobaccos scattered among he samples. These vary in age from 15 years to 33 years and they were randomly selected with one exception. There are 19 other samples that have a little age (> 6 months) and otherwise they're recently received.
Please 'register' when you receive your samples by posting the label color and letter code of your samples, and if you know the one that you'll review mention it. You only need to identify the samples that are vacuum packed.
For example:
RegularFellow
received
A - Magenta (vac)
C - Yellow
F - Green (vac)
Z - Magenta
Reviewing C - Yellow
Hope that the Post Office stops 'Caring' and just delivers the stuff. @MrMotoyoshi and @bluenoser, anything I should know before mailing (customs declaration, etc.).
Start your engines....
Should we attempt a guess as to what the blend is or simply review the samples?Quote:
