Please forgive me, I was too lazy to translate all the impressions to English language.... due to this you'll find here the conlucsion of this interesting challenge....
Again we made a little blind tasting... this time we chose Piramides.... due to a discussion which came up before, that following cigars'd been on the panel (all people knew that they have these 3 cigars in their package and they also know the box codes and dates):
- Upmann: USE OCT 07 --> Cigar No. 1
- Diplomaticos: FPG OSSC --> Cigar No. 2
- Montecristo: BLP APR 08 --> Cigar No. 3
I thought it'd be a bit unfair with the age of the Diplo, but in the end it wasn't as easy as I thought:
- Outta 19 people 15 gave their vote.
- 3 people were totally wrong and didn't recognize any of the 3.
- 9 people guessed 1 cigar right (3 of each brand).
- 3 people recognized all 3.
I also asked the people to make a rating (as far as possible) with 1, 2 and 3 points...
That's the result:
- 1st place with 33 points: Diplomaticos
- 2nd place with 31 points: Upmann
- 3rd place with 26 points: Montecristo
Also interesting is to see which cigar was rated best/worst how many times:
- Diplomaticos: 6x Best / 2x Worst: 4 points
- Upmann: 5x Best / 4x Worst: 1 points
- Montecristo: 5x Best / 10x Worst: -5 points
Due to this the Diplomaticos is obviously the winner. Of course it is hard to rate from Best to Worse, but I needed something to make a ranking....
