Where do you get your info/reviews

[Laynard]

Geez guys, you're making me blush. Well, you'll be happy to hear that since I have reposted nearly all the old reviews, I'll be coming out with some new content. Padilla is up first, then Crowned Heads, followed by Padron.

Oops...I still have some PDRs to reload and a batch of Diesels...hmmm, there doesn't seem to be an award for Diesel @Herf N Turf (hint, hint, wink, wink)

Cigar Aficionado is good, as long as you're interested in the cigars they review and rate highly. But a lot of those cigars are Cubans (which I don't buy), and others are frankly out of my usual price range. With many of CA's highly-rated cigars, I might buy a single or two occasionally at the B&M, but generally not a five-pack or box; and I smoke often enough to make box-purchases of my affordable favorites worthwhile. What I hate is to see one my favorites reviewed and rated lower than something else I've tried and didn't care for; so I look for new-to-me cigars that are highly rated, and try to ignore what CA says about the ones I already know I like.

I read CA more for the cover story and some of the articles, same as I used to do with Playboy (cough, cough). And it's one of the few magazines I read where I don't pay much attention to the ads, because I'm not in their obvious target demographic.

Forgot to include this originally: unless an online retailer specifically mentions Cigar Aficionado, the rating they mention almost certainly isn't CA's. Most of the time, it's either based on customer reviews, sales figures or their in-house "experts".

I usually get information from Halfwheel but for reviews I like hearing thoughts from other BOTL. Theres a number of guys Ive noticed have similar tastes to myself so their feedback tends to be all I need.

[Browns7213]

Used to be Puff, now its the guys here. I look at Half Wheel on occasion, but I find some of their flavor descriptions a bit over the top.

Cigar Aficionado isn't good ? Most selling site refer to them ... Cigar Aficionado best 2014, Cigar Aficionado mix, Cigar Aficionado 90+ mix, ...

I also use google. From there I look for a few I know and like, and also make sure to avoid a few. I could probably name more that I avoid than reviewers I find spot on.

Lots of places I enjoy like Halfwheel, Seths Humidor, My Cigar Blog, and people here and other forums. I sometimes just use Google and go from there, but those are my go to options most times.
