    I agree with jules that this may be a good idea. In another forum I participated in that had several sections for requesting software and ebook titles, the mods ended up coming up with a blank form to use for all requests.

    Now i don't know that we need anything that elaborate here because people still need to be able to give their critiques (SP?) , but it would be nice to know that each of these reviews would have some of the basic info you want to see right at the top of the review.

    I really use our review section in deciding on new sticks to try, and I think refining the system would be a great thing.

    Default Review Directory

    Can you create a "Review Directory" Sticky, where a list of cigars in alphabetic order along with the link to the review can be placed? There are a lot of reviews and the search engine doesn't always find everything when you use it.

    I wouldn't mind building a post that contained this information, although, I don't have a huge amount of spare time and it might take me several weeks to accomplish it.

    Let me know what you think either way - pro or con; good or bad.

    Although the search works pretty good, you can't see a comprehensive list of what's been reviewed and what hasn't. Sometimes, I might have a few minutes and want to write some additional reviews about a particular cigar. Also, you wouldn't have to wade through irrelevant search matches or have to know the exact spelling, etc.

    This actually could be a good idea for a cigar wiki (I own www.cigarwiki.com, although it is not active right now). It would be nice to have a central database of cigar reviews.

    I've always liked the top25cigar reviews... Probably a little biased, but at least less biased than the magazines...

    I have kind of a unique way of looking at reviews, anyway. I always try to find bad reviews. On something like Amazon, where you have 500 reviews of an air conditioner, I look at the bad reviews. If a guy gives the unit one star because the controls are analog, that's not so bad in my book. On the other hand, if a guy gives the unit 1 star because it sounds like a helicopter taking off, that's not so much fun, (I actually owned an air conditioner that woke me up whenever it kicked on). And frankly, 435 people saying "this is the best air conditioner ever" doesn't help me much...

    Yeah, shu'up, the first part was on topic
