I like to engage all my senses. Since you can't smell or taste anything on the net, I do the next best with videos, along with high quality pics for everyone. I think it does add quite a bit to the understanding of the cigar.

I don't mind a picture or two, but beyond that I tend to skip the pictures and read the words. I don't mind a review not having any pictures. The flavor description, smokeability (burn/draw), and the answer to the question would you smoke it again are the important parts to me.

Yes, If a review does not have pictures how can you prove to the reader that you smoked it???

Well, with so many that frequent the forum, I suppose my pic-less reviews will be cool for some and not-so-cool for the others. Welcome to the intraweeblnetz. :r

Doesn't matter if you have pics or not.

The reviews are good and if pictures are available I know I enjoy them. I have an easier time remembering what a cigar/label looks like than I do with names sometimes.

I'm sort of a visual type and do enjoy seeing a few photo's mingled with the review. The photo(s) allow me to observe the cigar while at the same time they complement the review.

Photo's with a review would be my preference:ss

Being that I have a cigar blog, I feel every review, with the exception of the quickie types, should have pictures.

:tpd: But the opinion is what is most helpful, especially where relative strength, flavors, and value are discussed. :tu

True but looking at your driveway as a background is soo monotonous. :)

How about some videos to spice it up?

Agreed.One or two at maximum.

I really don't care what the cigar looks like from one quarter inch to the next.
If it explodes maybe,other than that,no.

As a newbie pictures help me see and recognize a smoke, but more importantly is if the smoker can tell me what they tasted this will help me when I smoke the same stick. I can concentrate on discovering the same flavors. This will help me refine my pallate and become a better descriptor myself.

The only reason I read Don Fernando reviews is because of the pretty pictures. Keep em' coming bro! :dance:

I personally seek out picture reviews and sometimes tend to skim over the non picture ones.....Nevertheless I love me a good pic review. :2 :tu
