Keep doing what you do and I for one appreciate you and your reviews. I have purchased some good smokes for dirt cheap. They don't taste like $14 cigars but for $1-$2 they can't be beat.
We actually got a boom mic but that introduced even more hiss than the internal mic. I think it's because my smoking room used to be my garage where the breaker switch is so there is tons of electrical interference in this room. I can't wait until it gets warmer outside so we can do some more reviews outside again.

The audio and video problems make it very hard to watch, impossible for me to enjoy.

I made all the same points I made here to Long_Ashes in a email to his contact page, only a few minutes
after I wrote it here. He graciously refrained from coming down too hard on me. However I have had no
luck in convincing him he doesn't need a new camera. I guess some folks just gots to spend money, lol.
It is clear to me, a professional, that all they need is lights, and I told them as much. We'll see how it goes.

On an encouraging note, his camera work is better than that of James Suckling's cameraman, whom he
describes as a top filmmaker in Canada. Maybe he works with Count Floyd or Wayne and Garth, complete
with unneccessary zoom.

I like the website. The reviews are accurate. Most of my cigars are under $3, it took me a long time to find the good ones.

I watched their 'diamond in the rough' review of the Gran Habano Corojo Vintage 2002 and then found one in in the back of the humi from a sampler. Good call.

Hey guys I just wanted to draw your attention to the shout out to the website in the most recent Crap Cigar video on their website. I get a shout out too but I told him it was more important that the sites, this one and then Pipe Chat, get a shout out. I don't know how to embed the video here so here is a link to the page with the short article/review.

That's a cool thing that was done by both them and you. Thanks.

That would make sense because I was able to embed it in other forums but not this one. Thanks.

I tend to disagree. I like the laid back style and joke filled reviews. It makes it more watchable. If I wanted to watch boring cigar smokers review cigars I would watch ever other video out there. I like watching these guys for the banter back and forth and the reviews. Maybe I am just crazy though, after all this is the asylum.

I like the back and forth of the videos but the intro to the videos is just way to long.
