68TriShield thanks Legend for sharing his rating system though he will continue to use his "suck-does not suck" rating system :-)

borndead1's rating system:


Fantastic -- must stockpile as many as I can
Very good -- nice smoke, will keep some on hand
Meh -- hold onto them and see if they get better
YUCK -- throw them away

Legend,

I have no issues with your system or anyone else's. I did and do have an issue with anyone who claims "his system" is better than someone else's and then coming up with a "myth" to prop up the argument. Its never "better", simply different. That's all.

Rate cigars you smoke and enjoy in any which way, all I care to see is the actual description of the experience, score independent.

:-) I thought I stole my system from someone reliable ... but I guess it was just Dave.

Sorry to hear you have issues. We all do.
Best to just deal with it and move on.

Da Klugs also sends his thanks for the sharing and he feels that there is no one perfect system just us imperfect smokers. As such, he will continue to use his rambling dialog format for cigar review and rankings.

FWIW - Da Klugs also has a rarely used 5 point scale....

There is a number of legal cases now in (or past) courts against online posters stating either "myths" or non-factual data and courts are siding with the businesses who are filing the lawsuits, as they SHOULD. But its your board and your call, of course. :-)

Da Klugs heard that Vin Diesel likes cremosas and peach white owls. :-)

Just funnin. It's all good. Anyone is free to use whatever rating system they want. Given all of the good discussion on the topic, folks will place whatever weighting and adjustments they feel fit to based upon the circumstances. Personally, I've chosen to buy and or try many things based upon members smoking and posting thoughts within our community. An early lesson there is that we are all prejudiced by our inventory. One of the greatest things about our hobby is that the subject matter changes over time. One box of cigars smoked over a many year period can yield a surprisingly wide variety of results from just one reviewer.. be they numeric or descriptive. Another parallel is that the reviewers change over time as well. :-) Add to that input from different smokers and you have the layered complexity of our little world. Helps put the "discussion" in cigar.... board. :-)

Usually for me

Bad

Good, won't buy again

Good, will buy again

that's my main three categories

Legend feels that the botl here feel that occasionally referring to yourself in the third person starts a trend.
[Reply]

Not exactly.

VstromMark feels that Peter properly conveys the subtlety of the situation

Al wonders what a butler's butler might think.

mmblz thinks the man behind the butler would approve of the use of the 3rd person but find the rating system lacking in its ability to talk about congeners...
