Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - View Single Post - How much stock do you really put into the CA reviews and top 25?

I don't really take their reviews too seriously because they do not smoke the whole cigar. Smoking a couple inches does not give you enough to be able to rate the cigar as a whole. I laugh when they talk about evolution of flavour in the cigar when they are only smoking the first 3rd. Also as much as they deny it, I'm sure advertising revenu plays a part in their top 25. I still read it occasionally but I don't put much stock in the reviews.

For reviews I go elsewhere like on YouTube or cigars blogs.
