Why arent you writing reviews?

Honestly, non one is goign to tear you apart for posting a review. Most people will say "nice review" or "dem's some purdy pictures!" but not "Wow, you suk." LOL. Reviews are to offer YOUR impressions on a stick. It's YOUR palate, which is different from everyone elses, so no one can honestly say you are wrong. It's fun to see reviews of the same cigar on varying maturity of palates- you might even taste a new subtlety in the cigar you;ve been smoking for years that you never had tasted before or identified.

My growing concern is that I'm only picking up certain flavors in sticks now..and am thinking "Wow all my reviews sounds the freakin same"

Good to know Richie

I disagree. This happened in another life BEFORE the change over. The words "shill" and "whore" were used in reference to the reviewer. I slowed down my reviewing after that. A little gun shyness.

I've only written a few reviews; none of them on CA. The reason why I don't write reviews is because

1) I consider my palate to be crap.
2) To do it right I need to have my full attention on smoking the cigar without any outside interferences and that happens almost never.
3) I don't enjoy writing reviews - it feels like work and I smoke cigars to relax. The words don't "flow" when I'm writing a review and it takes a long time to proofread and correct/clean it up.
4) I'm too lazy to do it.

Amen brother. Even when you are trying to do something good, there is always someone who reacts in some bizarre way, then you take a shot at them, and before you know it, you are in the principal's office. I love smoking cigars and reviewing and sharing with others, but no good deed goes unpunished online.
