What really goes into a cigar score? This session at the InterTabac – Cigar Culture Summit 2025 lifts the lid on the methodology behind ratings, tastings, and award systems. Is it science, experience, or storytelling? Understand what shapes perception, and how to trust your own palate in a world full of influence.
In this seminar, Cigar Journal shows you how “Cigar Journal Blind Tasting” works. Editor-in-chief Katja Gnann simulates a blind tasting with you using cigars that are featured in the current fall issue.
Key Takeaways:
- How rating systems are designed and conducted
- Tasting subjectivity vs. calibrated standards
