Tobac of the Month Blind Review - February - Va

[Nick]

I think the out of ten points system can get a little fuzzy where as if you put it out of 100 I think it pin points the score of the tobacco better. For instance I gave this blend an 86/100, whereas I would have to put 8.6/10 which in my opinion is ugly. Plus I am a college senior and my life is centered around percentages hence and 86% or a solid B. I usually review every blend I try on TR but I also have a little spread sheet going where I simply name the blend under the correct blender and give it my percentage score. I also feel it is a great way to compare other blends and in my opnion can be very accurate when done correctly.

For instance I give Piccadilly a 95% as it is my favorite smoke where I give St. James Flake and 80% because I feel it is just a decent smoke. In my opinion grading is comparative hence my grading system. BTW my lowest tobacco grade at the moment is Vanilla Cream at 65%.
