Could cigar ratings be likened to wines?

I'm not only saying that magazine type reviews are wrong but that would also include individual ones.

Wines and cigars both have different types that have different flavors but also depend on terroir or environments that add to the flavors. But like the article pointed out, one person could taste something but others couldn't.

But like others have said, the best cigars I've ever had are always with other people or during a beautiful day or event. That's where that psychological aspect comes in.

A review is, by definition, a personal opinion. Ergo, they can't be wrong as long as they convey the belief of the reviewer.

Not to jump on you too hard, but statements like yours are very uninformed and biased in, well, amazing ways. Many, many here at CA suffer from this, so you are, at least in the opinion of some, in good company.

Well if we are going to examine it that deeply then isn't my "statement a personal opinion" and I couldn't be wrong or "very uninformed and biased in, well, amazing ways"????

Keep believing that. You'll go far.

minor is correct. You should have studied harder or perhaps smarter.

I'm done teasing the small children, I'll let you go back to play now.
