Yep, good point. I guess I've just tried so many over the years, I know what I like and what I don't like and I can smell a BS "review" from a mile away so I've become a little cynical.

I think general comments on a certain brand are more useful than a specific review of a certain cigar.

For instance, 99 times out of 100 all cigars of a certain line like say Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 all taste and smoke the same and you should pick a vitola based on your preference for size. However, I've seen reviews from asshats that will say that the Toros suck and the Torpedo are far superior.
