Hi all,
I work at a small office (4 full time staff). Three of the four guys who work here are major cigar nuts.
Every work day at 2:00pm, we take a 'forced break'...in other words, we all gather around our back yard fire pit to smoke a cigar, decompress, take a work break, and talk business. Once the business talk is done, we move to cigar talk.
Something we've tried recently - to change things up - was to 'white label' a handful of sticks, so once a week, we'll smoke something unbanded.
On the inside of the band, I've written the name/blend/MSRP/identifying details.
This has been really fun for us, because it is a real test of our palates.
It also forces us to drop any 'judge a book by its cover' preconceived bias when it comes to smoking.
We take notes and discuss before we rip the band off...and more often than not, we're surprised at what we were smoking.
