Rarely do I enjoy reading the 17 page reviews of a single cigar from many of the top reviewing authorities. Too much fluff usually, but I do like to see how some "tastes" align or are translated for more complex cigars or at times where I cannot put my finger on exactly what I'm getting but I know it's somthing.

I would like to know more about your 100-point scoring system.
Yeah, i dislike all the fluff and opinion in most reviews, and their length.

I like to keep it short, factual and simple, just like what I would want a review I was reading to be.

I use a form from Cigar Weekly they used for blind reviews, but modified some by me to include things I felt were lacking.

I just check the boxes as I'm smoking for real time information, then just put it into words when I finish it.

The scoring and scale are:

TOTAL SCORES
Appearance/Construction_______ 5
Flavor______10
Taste/Aftertaste _______10
Burn _______5.
Summary_________10
Aroma_______5
Smoke Volume ____5

Total___________50
TOTAL_________ 100


I friggin' LOVE cigars
