Just curious who you follow, other then the other members of BOTL of course.
I tend to follow Katman, he teases a lot out of a smoke and I like trying to find the flavors he says are in the cigar. I think it helps me learn what to look for and how to concentrate on the cigar.

Anyone else I should be paying attention to?

Katmam is the best hands down. I thinks he aged he slid more in to a mindset where the price influences him a bit.

Half Wheel is drier than the Sahara. However, you do get some really decent info from him. The background information can be great for new guys.

Cutlightsmoke is my favorite and we have the same tastes it seems.

I surfed across a few of his. Seems like a really nice guy but he comes across as trying too hard to me. Have you ever counted up the number of flavors he'll mention per cigar? It's nearly always double-digits. Does a pretty good job with his videos though; casual without being super amateurish.

I read Katman just because he's a wild and crazy guy. :ROFLMAO:

But I agree with sofc. I've read so many reviews and tried the cigar only to find it wasn't for me that I don't put much stock in reviews. I've come to realize that if 1. it was rolled at the my father factory 2. it has a CBL wrapper and 3. pete johnson had a hand in the blending I can almost guarantee I'll like it. Anything else I'll try a single and see for myself.

I like the Katman for his prose, but I almost never taste what he does in a given cigar. I read the conclusion on a lot of reviews just to see if it was a good cigar. Most reviewers, and many cigar smokers, can appreciate a winner, in my experience.
