I usually read the review of new purchase I am considering at cigar aficionado. What reviewers do you like to check

Another guy on this site said some cigar chick was pretty accurate

cigargeeks...............I like it because there's typically several reviews for the same cigar in one spot, and lots of other good info

I love halfwheel. Probably the best independent reviews out there.

This place is a great place too, I look here to see what sux and what is good. Without this place who knows, I might have ended up liking Gurkhas or Rocky Patels.

Ovid........that's a town in central ny nestled between the two largest finger lakes......anyhoo, google reviews of cigars you may be interested in. Puff.com and stogieguys seem to be as objective as any one out there. Actually, the goombas on these boards may be your best resource. Just understand that some of us will give a cigar a nasty review but it may be one that suits your palette, palate, palet???????????????????

Pallet? Hey isn't that a rocky blend?

Nah that was cargo but it might be made out of pallets. 🤦

Yup...and it's sickening.

I trust my own damned tastebuds. Oh, I'm not above a recommendation from someone I know or taking a chance on a new cigar but I will not purchase on the "review" of some rag.

NEVER.

Man up and buy a few of the smokes and rely on your own tastes to see if it suits you. 🇨🇮

The information available here is a good bet. 'Feedback' is provided by a cross section of enthusiasts and noobs alike, each with their own preferences. If you pay attention, you'll learn which cigars are popular and which are dog rockets from an unbiased source. Members have invested hard earned dollars in their hobby to explore and eventually settle in to a profile that can be narrow or very broad and evolving. You'll quickly learn which members tastes are similar to yours.

Certainly beats a source that relies on advertising $ for their very existence.
