My point about the review potential is missed, I guess! "not good... sums it up" to me, is just kinda saying nothing. How about "it's not good for me because: I find it one dimensional. Or, I have found, after trying half a dozen of these, after they sat for several weeks, to still have major draw issues. Or, some quantitive reason that you don't like them.

You point out that you enjoy reading a good review. I also find it much easier to give a cigar a chance (or cross it off my try-list if I have a good idea what to expect. For example, if I read several guys say that a cigar is spicy, then I have a pretty good idea it might taste like red pepper to me. Obviously, some descriptors are going to be more subjective, and not as useful. But, there is a multitude of descriptions that can be given, and are much more helpful than "they are bad".

That is the point I'm trying to make about reviews.

As to the other issues, I'm glad you're in agreement with my original posting that personal preference is best decided by each smoker. That's been said a lot on CA, I'm by no means the original thought on that. I'm sure that same thought will be posted again in the next day or week.
