I selected "trusted forum-user reviews" but it's not so much the reviews I read online, but rather discussions of new cigars among the guys I herf with or interact with online. They may not be reviews in the truest sense of the word, but I can relate to their experiences better as I have a feel for how their palettes may (or may not) be similar to mine.

There are guys whose reviews I trust, and with similar tastes to my own, that I give the most credence to.

I did not select an option -- you need one that says "friend/BOTL recommendations".

I read the reviews here and other places as well. I really enjoy seeing reviews from different people on the same cigar. I watch for reviews on cigars I have smoked and hope for a review from the same person on something I haven't smoked.
