Sorry brother, my bad, I should be following proper APA format lol. House of Emilio (HOE). Although it is kind of funny, looking at it as a word... H....O...E... LOL

I honestly think that as soon as Reviewer A disagrees with Reviewer B's choices on cigars, then the whole biased claim comes in to play. I like AJ sticks. Does that make me biased? Yes. Sorry that I like what I like. All reviews come down to that person's opinion anyways.

Do any of the hobby reviewers and or professional reviewers ever participate as a group in blind reviews of the same sticks?

yup, check out blind man reviews. I did a guest spot for them, great site. Personally, I try not to look at any blend info or company info going in to a review either. Granted, that's not always possible, but my favorite blend of the year the Regius black I reviewed with no clue who they were and loved it. I had no ideas it was a Nica puro at the time.

Rain

Wait....you liked a Nica Puro?

Blind Man's Puff? I kinda remember that. I think I've clicked on that site once before. I'll check it again.

yup, Emmett is a good dude. Funny thing is, when they did their list, obviously it couldn't be blind either. The whole subjectivity thing is why I specifically noted in my list it was a recommended list of mild-medium as everyone is different ya know.

What if we got only physically blind people to review? Problem solved?

Sure. Except for the burn holes in the sofa and the ashes in the fish bowl.

If you believe in the whole heightened-other-four-senses bit, it might be great. Or it might be a completely unrelatable pallet. Either way, I'm sure I just took that comment wayyyy too seriously.

Why don't we just get AJ Fernandez to do a top 25 list every year? Problem solved.IMO, this could have been made a general question, because it comes of to me as a dig at Cigar Fed. Again, just my opinion.

only if they tally scores in Braille. You see, scoring is important in objectivity... I mean, really posting ones favorites is one thing, but attaching a score to a cigar? Now that's true bias

Because the San Lotano is very good but everything else tastes somewhere between the same and "ehh"?

Rain

Haha, close to the truth for me. A cigar is either good, meh, or bad. Oh, and lots of wood flavors. I don't know the difference between a cedar and oak flavor, white or black pepper. I'm working on a limited flavor wheel.

Cigar Feds cigars of the month club is the best out there imo. I belong to few others as well, and CFeds is the best.

100% true, same with this original post. Misinformation is a dangerous thing. The article is all over the place. The guy has no idea how to write effectively and he's the editor. The beautiful part about all this? The more folks ask about it, the more they realize we are objective, open and honest, while HW isn't. It's brought us more members... In the end, it defaces their name, not ours, which was the opposite of his intention. We don't score cigars.....
