Thanks for all the input here! It's very interesting to read everyone's point of view on this.
I posted this on several forums and one thing is clear from the responses... BOTL are as divided over how to rate a cigar as they are over the cigars themselves.
Most everyone ranks flavor at the top of the list. it was interesting to see people were very divided over the importance of price for a cigar with some saying it was unimportant and others said it was extremely important.
We sure are an opinionated bunch!
