Cigar Review Sites

[pierce652]

Ive been looking for a good cigar review site and so far all the ones Ive found have come up short. Basically looking for a pretty extensive review of brands and styles as Im new to the wonderful world of sticks and dont want to get stuck with a bunch of rockets when a seemingly good deal arises.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

What ones have you found? Since everybody has different taste, following the reviews often gets you a bunch of cigars that other people like and you don't. I'd recommend letting somebody here or the guy at your local tobacco shop know what cigars you really enjoy so they can recommend ones that are in that same style. Top25, cigarweekly, smokemag, and cigar-reviews.org all have pretty extensive reviews IMO.

I would recommend first that you never buy a box of cigars based on reviews, without trying them first. Doing that is usually the fast track to disappointment. Buy singles or 5ers, trade for singles but try them first. Course, if you like the toros in a line you probably will also like the torpedos.

this site has it's own review database at www.top25cigar.com (which is how i found the forums).
