Cigar Reviews and Prices

[Brooks W]

While I mention the price of each cigar in my reviews, I do NOT take price (or "how hard it is to find this cigar") into account when giving a final score...

The reason is simple...I want to focus all of my attention on reviewing the flavors of the cigar, and price just gets in the way of that.

The reason I post the price of the cigars is so that every person who reads the review can make their own choices...Is this cigar worth what is being charged?

Only you can make that determination.

If I didn't I won't touch another, even if were free.

As Tom said, it's not worth stressing over.

You are absolutely missing the point. Don't think about price for a minute when smoking, I think about the cigar, the company, the conversation. I don't stress over the price of the cigar.

I also don't stress if others choose to put the price of the cigar they are reviewing in their review. I could care less either way...but people have had the option to do either/or for years beween Cigar Asylum and Club Stogie, I see no reason to change or stress over it now.
