The stupidiity to me is that the guy was acting like CI sold him fake LPs, or fake Pardons. Like being shocked that a mcdouble is not the same quality beef as NY strip. He's a total penis in my opinion.

LOL, gents! This is what I love about our amazing country. How in the world can a fat dope sit in his backyard and pucker his lips like a baboon over a cigar and then, in some inexplicable way, gain an audience that listens to him? LOLOLOL. Like I said above, until there is some way to measure the various grades of tobacco that produce a cigar, we will be smoking $2 'Premium' Shit Rockets and $18 'Premium' Davidoffs. Blanco is a thief. He knew what he was doing. Let's face it, guys, the only people this really affects are newbs, suckers, and fools. When I buy a $2 cigar, I know exactly what I'm getting--something I can smoke when I'm too drunk to know the difference. It's like JP1979 said in one of his posts in this thread, "He opened up a $2 cigar and discovered it was a $2 cigar." C'mon. I actually bought a 5er of those cigars and smoked one the other night. It sucked, but it was cheap.

Since this thread is now sliding toward the gutter, I think it's probably time to close it.
Whether you like Bryan, his website, his reviews or the way he contributes to this hobby or not ... I personally find the name calling and personal bashing offensive.

Or you could simply curtail your participation in it, just sayin'...

Hey, man. It's not about calling names. It's about calling a spade a spade. You can place as much stock in Bryan Glynn as you'd like but, at the end of the day, he's no expert on anything. What credibility could he possibly have? This is the same goofball who smoked and reviewed a fake Montecristo No. 2 on his Youtube channel!!!! That's right!!! HE BOUGHT, SMOKED, AND REVIEWED A FAKE MONTE NO. 2 ON HIS SHOW. Not only that, but he loved it and gave it a rave review. After viewers called him out on the fact that it was blatantly fake, he issued an apology. Now WTF is that? Why close this thread? I find it quite informative and a lot of the guys here are on point.

Jeez, what is with the all the Bryan Glynn bashing here?! I don't know the guy, but have enjoyed watching many of his reviews, especially when I first became interested in cigars last year. Flame away, but I think he is good for the hobby and helps get people interested.

Guys, dissenting opnions are good for a community and can be constructive. The thing is we need to keep it constructive. Constructive doesn't mean it has to be all positive mind you but it does mean we need to keep it on topic and refrain from making it personal with other members.

I'm not saying Bryan is any kind of expert and I'd imagine he'd say the same. But calling him a penis, fat, stupid, goofball, etc, etc. does nothing but degrade the discussion IMO. I guess I'm old school and don't think personal ridicules are warranted just because I don't like someone's opinion or they way they conduct themselves.

I agree. In the same respect, calling cigar by a company "floor sweepings", "trash", "unsmokable", wouldn't you take that as a personal insult if it was your company? I know two wrongs don't make a right, but I also believe "eye for an eye".

You're right. And I'm not a man who resents another man's success. In fact, I'm the opposite. I praise and envy a man who has achieved success--maybe because I'm a total loser (I don't know). But I maintain my God-given right to judge the foundation of a man's success. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then I have the right to call it a duck. How many cigars of the thousand Glynn has reviewed are not what they appear to be? Probably a lot. I'm not picking on Glynn, per se. I think the whole cigar industry needs an overhaul. Cigar marketers can still pass off garbage as premium, even though it's cheap premium. Honestly, though, I think the end of the Embargo is going to change all industry standards and all these so-called 'premium' blends will be put in their place. They'll be out of business, where they belong.
