    Where do you get your info/reviews

    I use cigaraficionado.com, but they don't have all cigars ...

    I don't pay that much attention to the ratings, but I find Halfwheel to offer great pics and lots of factual stats for about anything I'm looking to smoke.

    Until now, I haven't really had any go-to places for reviews. I'd take recommendations from my tobacconist and a few friends with somewhat similar tastes, but mostly I just looked at descriptions of strength, body and flavor in catalogs and on websites; then I'd buy a few and decide for myself.

    Now, I'm following the reviews and discussions in threads here, and I'm going to add halfwheel; if so many Bums trust it, I'll have to give halfwheel a try.
    Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Or don't. What do I care?

    I used to just read the Puff.com reviews. But over time I came to realize that tastes are so subjective that reviews mean very little.

    Sadly for reviews a Google search is often the best choice. Cigar reviews tend to be scattered among multiple sites, blogs and forums. Usually you can find one reviewer that matches what you like in a cigar profile and go from there for suggestions.

    Or in the case of some newer cigars not find anything at all.

    That's what I do. There's usually only a couple different blogs that post anything useful and it's just easier to figure out which cigars they've reviewed through Google than it is by searching their blogs individually.

    I look on here (or Puff before) as well. I've found that my experience usually matches the reviews @Laynard does really well so his are the first ones I look for.

    Geez guys, you're making me blush. Well, you'll be happy to hear that since I have reposted nearly all the old reviews, I'll be coming out with some new content. Padilla is up first, then Crowned Heads, followed by Padron.
    To smoke is human; to smoke cigars, divine.
