    Default The Herfers Guide to Cigars

    Ok, I started a project a little while ago and I'm slowly catching up on a lot of details. So, you'll probably see a lot of posts from me while I slowly build up this Herfer's Guide. My goal is to have a one stop shop with links for people to find a lot of information. We have vast amounts of info on this site an a few people have created a few helpers guides/tables to help out. I want to put all that info into one spot...so, time to continue my little project.

    Herfers Guide to Cigars

    1. Herfers Guide to Setting up a Humi

    2. Herfers Cigar Reviews
    A. Cubans
    B. Domestic

    3. Herfers Terminology Index
    4. Cigar Stores (Local B&M)

    This will slowly grow as I star to build...links/pages/ect ect ect...

    enjoy

    Awfully nice of you to set up the reviews by brand. All of that searching and linking seems like it would be a pain in the ass. Great work so far. I am also sure your efforts will encourage some more reviews too.

    This will be extremely useful, and I agree that it may have the bonus effect of encouraging more reviews. Is there anything that reviewers can do when posting reviews that will make it easier for you to link them up?

    Wonderful idea, thanks.

    Somebody has WAY TOO much time on his hands........
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    Default Thanks

    Thank you, this is a great idea. I can't wait for your vocabulary link to go up. That is one of the things that I think will really help us newbies. As someone who received a humidor for Christmas, I am reading your tips on setting one up. Thanks again

    Don't worry I haven't forgotten about this. With moving and testing I was waiting until I got a few free moments to complete this.

    A-Z Cigar reveiws are updated

    A-J are still the latest as of 7 Jan 07. If you posted a review after then, it's probably not in the list. I'll be going back soon and adding all the new reviews. K-Z should have the latests reviews in it. More to come to this guide.

    Hex can you sticky this? I think its a great tool for anyone and I bumped it primarily because it was 3 or 4 pages back.

    Default Auto post review patch

    It should be fairly easy to patch the BB code base to add a drop down in the new post screen so the user can select what cigar they are reviewing when posting in the Review section. This could then create an auto link in a single thread. The logic around whether a review already existed or was new would be the hardest part.

    Let me know if you feel this is worthwhile and I will pull up the source.

    Thanks,
    -Chad

    I hope you finish this job to completion, sure will be a lot of people to benefit from your hardwork.

    Just to throw my two cents in, I don't think this thread should be stickied until The Guide is complete. It's quite a task and will take a large amount of effort that will most likely be set aside and worked on periodically, like the old beat up porshe that's been in the backyard for the past 15 years.
