Ha! Good form.

Truth is that the future of the craft depends on them, whether you like em or not.

The future of the "craft" of making cigars rests with those that are willing to invest the time and effort to learn the time honored ways of creating those masterpieces. If not those cigars they create will not be worth crap and no :60 review will help...

...I give my high level thoughts on each stick, to hopefully guide the potential consumer into making a more educated experience.

Be honest tho, as much as you might not like a :60 video of a cigar review, would you watch some of the 16 -25 minute cigar reviews on youtube right now? They're terrible...

I will not disagree that most, if not all, of the YouTube cigar review videos are garbage. As a matter of fact - there's not an awful lot of good content on YouTube as it appears everyone is trying to be something with a cheap camera. There's an awful lot of self appointed experts, opining on all sorts of things with little or no real knowledge.

I have to admit - it is awfully entertaining to see someone make a complete fool of themself. I guess that's why clowns have always been so much fun to watch...

You mean besides sex, right?

Funny you say that - most women I know that know don't much care for sex with "20 something" men because it seems to be a goal to accomplish that act in 60 seconds or less...

Anyone that bases their cigar purchases on any review without being very, very, familiar with the reviewer over a significant period of time will end up wasting a significant amount of money, imo, of course.
