What should I be reading?
 
When I get interested in something I like to read up on it and learn as much as i can. So long post short, what books, blogs, and forums should I be reading?
Right now I keep a pretty close eye on:
Cigarasylum (obviously)
Stogieguys (pretty regularly)
cigarinspector (less regularly)
cigarcyclopedia (just added this to my list)

I'm definitely looking for a couple books, but blogs, and anything else are welcome. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

For me I just read the forums here and I've learned a great deal. If you want to know something search for it and it's bound to be here somewhere. Read the stickies as well, lots of great information. Also, this place isn't polluted with ads....I hate ads so much.

Threads at the top of each forum, they are called stickies as they are a permanent locked thread for your reading pleasure.

They say "Sticky:" in front of them.

I tend to read the backs of shampoo bottles, food labels, anything to keep my mind busy.

I used to read a lot of review sites and forums, now I only read stuff here and occasionally stogiereview.com. The latter mostly for loyalty sake as it was the site that really got me started.

Personally I like Brooks' site www.smokingstogie.com

He and steve give very good insight and usually a lot more background information on the stick than Normal...

Mark Twain's Autobiography has been selling well, lately.

All I do these days is check this site, because I've been around long enough that I know whose tastes on this site are similar enough to mine that I can trust a review. If I need encyclopedic information I'll check the CC Website and for fun I follow Brook's and Brad's blogs more for their skills as quality bloggers/ cigar photographers and writers than any "objective review" that I've yet to find.
The best bet is to read a few reviews of cigars you know well from each blog you know of and find somebody that has a similar pallate and tastes as you, otherwise, all the reviews in world are basically worthless:2
