I agree there are hundreds, but I disagree with "find them easily." We use too many abbreviations for the nomenclature to make it easy to find some reviews. Is the stick a Arturo Fuente Hemingway, or an AF Hemi? A Padron Anniversary 1964 maduro, or a PAM 64? Don Pepin Garcia, Pepin, or DPG?

I've never, ever had a problem finding anything with search. May just be me.

After they are posted... search is your friend. But it may take some effort.

I have not read through this thread, so this has probably been said -

IMHO, main reason there are so few reviews here is that from the get-go, CA was populated by ex-patriated, seasoned, cigar smokers who had posted many reviews "at another forum." Kind of a "been there - done that" sort of thing.

Might be a good idea for us to re-evaluate some smokes and fill the knowledge database here. Just a shame that we had to leave so much accumulated information elsewhere - but I am glad to be HERE!

Great observation, Joe. I have to agree.

You're right, but with 33 major manufacturers, the number of CC forums here , and an "everything else" you could just about take care of it.

I think it almost goes without saying that if you are going to post a review
of ANY cigar from ANY country, you should write out the entire name of the
cigar in the thread title. There is no room for...damn I hate being old....whatever
you call those....ANAGRAMS, that's the word. A review being kind of an official-type
posting, you should be thinking about ease of search.

I don't have the best palate either.
Although some of the less-than-stellar reviews are quite helpful to me as well as the well-written ones. Sometimes a mere loved it or hated it is all I need to hear.

I haven't had time to do any of the 1 Man HERF's that I used to post up in the Jungle

Might have to make some time.

I would love to post up more reviews but I just haven't found the time. I'm always smoking cigars at work but I don't think they would care for me to be smoking and writing reviews on Asylum when I should be smoking cigars and helping customers.
I'm going to be buying a laptop at the end of this year so I can write some more reviews.

Maybe you are reading the wrong section? The NC section has a new one or two everyday.
