Phhttt...who needs pictures? Take their bands off & turn 'em upside down and the all look alike.

I do enjoy a well written review!!

They say a picture says a thousand words...but words do all the same!

Owt's better than Nowt

Well, I'll do my very best to keep them concise, entertaining, factual and at the very least, informative and interesting.

Or they will be long-winded, hot air filled, utter failures.

But definitely 1 of the 2.

Without pictures how am I supposed to...uh..nevermind!

Bax · 04-14-2009, 02:58 PM

Yes.

Savor the Stick · 04-14-2009, 07:36 PM

YES!!!

MarkinAZ · 04-14-2009, 09:13 PM

I'm sort of a visual type and do enjoy seeing a few photo's mingled with the review. The photo(s) allow me to observe the cigar while at the same time they complement the review.

Photo's with a review would be my preference

Close your eyes and remember the last one.

I like to engage all my senses. Since you can't smell or taste anything on the net, I do the next best with videos, along with high quality pics for everyone. I think it does add quite a bit to the understanding of the cigar.

I don't mind a picture or two, but beyond that I tend to skip the pictures and read the words. I don't mind a review not having any pictures. The flavor description, smokeability (burn/draw), and the answer to the question would you smoke it again are the important parts to me.

Mikhail · 04-14-2009, 04:53 PM

Yes, If a review does not have pictures how can you prove to the reader that you smoked it???

bobarian · 04-14-2009, 05:00 PM

Its ok if you post without pictures, but you're gonna get this:

Most recently, that's the part i've started looking for the most!!

Well, with so many that frequent the forum, I suppose my pic-less reviews will be cool for some and not-so-cool for the others. Welcome to the intraweeblnetz.

Starscream · 04-14-2009, 06:55 PM

Doesn't matter if you have pics or not.

MedicCook · 04-14-2009, 07:32 PM

The reviews are good and if pictures are available I know I enjoy them. I have an easier time remembering what a cigar/label looks like than I do with names sometimes.

poriggity · 04-14-2009, 10:01 PM

Being that I have a cigar blog, I feel every review, with the exception of the quickie types, should have pictures.

True but looking at your driveway as a background is soo monotonous.

How about some videos to spice it up?

As a newbie pictures help me see and recognize a smoke, but more importantly is if the smoker can tell me what they tasted this will help me when I smoke the same stick. I can concentrate on discovering the same flavors. This will help me refine my pallate and become a better descriptor myself.
