Review them or just smoke them?

[shilala]

I've never kept a log of my own reviews, or even excel notes like Mac does (which is a great idea). That'd make smoking like work to me.
I'll do a review here if a cigar is really good or really bad. I remember saying before in a review that "I'm not interested in heaping words onto mediocrity." I will definately go out of my way if a cigar is super good, in hopes that some brothers will try it and enjoy it. If it's real bad, I don't really try to warn guys off the cigar, but ask them to lower their expectations and see what they think. I do that because lots of times I get all excited by hype and the cigar doesn't play up to my expectations, and I wonder how I'd have received it were I not already expecting big things.

Sklee!
Except I would review a rare or unusual cigar too.

I don't review nearly enough. My sieve of a brain often forgets what I like and what I don't.

I was thinking more along the lines of reviewing for my own use. I kept up with it steadily for a good while then stopped, and now I'd already forgotten a lot of the ones I'd only smoked once or twice. I may need to get back on the wagon and start scribing again.

And don't go bad-mouthing the gorilla finger man! Mario says they rock.
