Tapout lasted longer here than on cbid. He spent a week following thundergerbil from post to post trying to get Adam going about Gurkhas.

I'd like to add something, but my head is spinning.
Mostly I'm glad that Tom doesn't chew his fingernails.

Yes and no, that is not a stripper pole in the bar. However, it "could" be I suppose.

What you can't see is the 3 foot ladder he's standing on.

My palate is so unrefined, I do with two:

1) I couldn't finish it.
2) I could.

Me either.

but, what does this have to do with the fact that cigars sold in B&Ms are almost certainly of higher quality than their counterparts purchased via the web?

I'd suggest either adding 0.3 to the ratings of all internet-purchased cigars or subtracting 0.3 from the ratings of all cigars purchased at B&Ms, thereby making the ratings comparable.

Thank you.

Any review is subjective with regard to flavor, strength, aroma, quality and overall impression. Even external factors such as ambient temperature and humidity, the choice of an accompanying beverage, and even mood influence the outcome.

Any number scale, even CA/CI's—which I do respect and take into account, is an attempt to substantiate a subjective experience.

I'd much rather hear how the cigar tasted to the reviewer; what it felt like, did it hold up all the way through, is it a cigar of quality—should I bother with it?

Plus, I've read reviews, even those of people whose opinions I respect, and seen a cigar they evidently they did NOT enjoy get scores of 7/10 or even 8/10. It just all seems skewed when you try to quantify the enjoyment in numbers.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo.............. ...........
