a) Arf f*@ked up a bit on the first cigar. Having not smoked too many Lonsdales and wanting to leave space to go for 20 odd smokes, the first one, the Rafael Gonzalez, in retrospect I marked too low. But the difference between the RG and the following smokes hasn't been so wide as to warrant an 8 or 9, so I've had to compensate with percents of a point.
b) The majority of points are awarded on taste. Construction points so far have been more or less even Steven .... and points for appearance, what's that about .... who cares. I've only got/had one of each, so if one was an out and out ugly bug I wouldn't know anyway.
c) Marks 8 9 are held in reserve for those cigars which I know others rate highly, but which are too expensive for me to buy or are so rare I haven't been able to find them.
My reviews are just my views on the day. I'm not precious about them, but I do try to be as honest as I can.
When you explain it like that it all makes sense. Anyway, I wasn't criticising your reviews - they're very informative and make excellent reading. But I might start ignoring your scores if you start putting more than two numbers after the decimal point!
If you want a midget to look like a baby, don't put a cigar in his mouth.
Yeah, I always wonder what would have happened if Nadia Comaneci had been first competitor up when she scored a perfect ten, or what would have happened if there had been someone better?
If you want to, you can.
And, if you can, you must!
