Does It Really Matter If Reviews Have Pics?
 
I am trying / have tried many different sticks this past smoking season. I would like to post reviews for everyone but I don't really have a convenient dig. cam. to take pics while smokin. Does it really matter that much if seegars are reviewed with no pics?

Nope, it sure doesn't. Pics are always nice, but your opinion of the smoke is what we like to see :tu

I like to see pics... but more important is what my fellow B/SOTLs think of the cigar! I don't buy cigars solely based on reviews, but if there are enough bad reviews I might steer clear or enough good reviews, I might scoop some up! :tu

It isn't necessary but it's quite nice. As long as it is not overkill, than it becomes picture diarrhea.

Most people will say that you don't need to post pics to review a cigar... i believe you should, it heightens the reader's experience. (my own opinion)

the words are more important than the pretty pictures.

except for dave smoking the padron on the golf course the other day. THAT required a pic! :)

Nope, I always posted reviews without pics until recently. The most important part of the review is the information it provides, pictures are just a little bonus.

I agree that pictures help make the review more entertaining for the reader (kind of like a book with pictures), but I'd rather read a review without pics than no a review at all. (can you say run on sentence)

I'd read reviews with or without photos. :ss

Now, there are some guys that I wish would post pics as it would take up some of the room they use to write legendary long reviews.

I like to put pictures of the cigar before I light it, mostly because it helps other people identify it if they don't know it by name (which most of the time I don't). Plus a photo of the cigar makes up for my lack of knowledge in descriptions. And then maybe one more picture of something unique (long ash, attrocious burn or just a neat looking photo).

I can appreciate reviews without pictures as well as long as the reviewer gives some good information. Thanks to the Team for limiting us to 5 pictures, because when you see eleventy billion pictures in one review it is worthless to see every draw as a new picture. :tu

Pics are nice for the inmates who have problems with big words...:D

For me, taking the pics is just part of the process, makes it more fun for me to do.

But a review is a review. A bad review with pics, is still a bad review.

So let's review....:r

pics=optional
well conveyed review=good!

Phhttt...who needs pictures? Take their bands off & turn 'em upside down and the all look alike.

:dr

I do enjoy a well written review!!

Well, I'll do my very best to keep them concise, entertaining, factual and at the very least, informative and interesting. :dance:

Or they will be long-winded, hot air filled, utter failures. :ss :fu

But definitely 1 of the 2. :tu :gl
