Re: Who do you trust?

I would see if there was a review posted here or on Herfer's Paradise. If I knew the reviewer and his tastes, it would be easy to see what review to trust.

Re: Who do you trust?

Take a look at my post: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=126373

Most reviews have some value to them. Take a look around and find something or someone that agrees with your taste.

For the most part I always try them out for myself. Tastes vary a lot but when many reviews trash a smoke you can be pretty sure it is a bum cigar.

Happy hunting, that is 80% of the cigar experience!

Re: Who do you trust?

If I really want to review a cigar before I buy it... I'll check out as many reviews as I can find... that way I can make my own conclusion based off several people's experiences, keeping them all in mind.

Re: Who do you trust?

I too get most of my info here because there are usually several opinions to a paricular smoke. After that , I taste for myself.

Re: Who do you trust?

Trust your sense of taste.

Do trades/PIF's here to try things or buy singles/samplers from the various vendors.

Or

Buy boxes of every cigar made in every brand. Smoke all of them and see which one's you prefer.

Top25 is always my first stop when curious about a stick.
But I also enjoy going to The Stogie Guys at www.stogieguys.com and The Stogie Review www.************.com. Both of these sites have a large list of cigars with a good detailed review.

Re: Who do you trust?

If I am in a cigar shop, I ask my wife to find it. She has a nose for the cigars that I would like unlike any other. Otherwise, I ask my friends, they know more than I do.

When I was younger and traveled out of the country, I relied on Cigar Aficionado ratings on Cubans of that year. But the problem there is the spotty quality control and lack of consistency.

Usually, I smoke it and if I like it, I buy more.

Re: Who do you trust?

I have to say that I have gone through CA with a fine tooth comb but I prefer to get the opinions of gorrillas here.

Mostly because they don't try to impress with unnecessary comparisons to 7 year old Madagascar Vanilla.

Re: Who do you trust?

I learned a lot from Walt and ************.com and can trust his opinions cause I feel we have similar tastes. But what's a great cigar to one tastes like crap to another, so you just gotta try some different things and go from there.
