A few cigars ago I decided that I was going to catalog (almost) every cigar that I smoked as I smoked it. After much internal debate, I have decided to share this catalog with the good folks at amback. I am already a few pages (cigars) in so I will post from the beginning of my catalog and will catch up quickly.
I know that I am a novice when it comes to cigars. All I can offer to you is my humble opinion on the experiences I have with a certain cigar on a certain day. Every post I make in this thread will be a different cigar, and a different page in my catalog. I will start every post with the day I smoked the cigar and how long its been in my humidor. I will then give the weather conditions, the cigar name, size, country the wrapper is from and country the filler(s) are from.
At this point I will tell you what I get out of the cigar from my pre-light ritual to the last few puffs.
I will then rate the cigar on 5 different criteria on a scale of 1 to 10. The criteria are: Burn, Draw, Appearance, Taste, and Construction.
I started to do this to help me understand cigars better. Maybe it will help you understand cigars better as well. This is from one novice to another. I hope we can understand the cigar world a bit better together.
