Nice wordsmithing H.M.!

I am on that exact same page and I thank you for taking the time to craft such a useful reference tool for us all.

Some of my most memorable smokes have delivered a sweet spice experience that was very present, even when paired with a mexican light style of beer. (Pacifico)

Sadly, they are no longer made. Will you share some gar info of smokes that delivered a sweet spice flavor for you?

Thanks a lot,

What? His ring size is still 10? !!!!

My comments would not fit in the comment box, so here we go;

His well written post will help improve the quality of cigar reviews that members will write and share with the community. Good writing promotes clear thinking. By inducing improved thinking among his community members, the ripple effect improves our society as a whole.

He wrote this over two years ago. While good writing is timeless, the window of opportunity for positive reinforcement is not. Please consider boosting his ring size significantly and immediately. I believe it is long overdue.
Sincerely, Fiddlegrin

P.S. If you agree, please click on his "improve ring gauge icon".
It is located under his user name near the bottom of the post.

very good review, i have smoked cigars for over 20 years and for maybe the first 5 i didn't know how to really relax and taste what i was smoking, for some people i think it takes practice to really taste whats in there.

I have been smoking cigars for a few years now. I often enjoy to read reviews of the cigar I am smoking as I am enjoying it. It has been my hope to possibly refine my palate further by trying to experience and define the flavors in the cigar with the words used by these reviewers. It has not only been till recently that I have come to the conclusion that this is a fun, yet almost totally fruitless endeavor. I know what I enjoy in a cigar, but have not been able to fully describe what experience I am looking for in words. Does anyone else ever have this problem? Yet, I am so passionate about this avocation that I want to discuss the experience that I am having. Anyone else suffer from this frustration?

I want to say that I appreciate someone taking the time to try to label these terms..earthy.. woody..etc. It is a breath of fresh air to see that others are struggling with the words, not necassarily the experience.
