This blog is dedicated to sharing thoughts and opinions on where and how to find good cigars at reasonable prices. Please let us know what you have to say about your favorite smokes, and help us out by rating some cigars for our Readers' Ratings list. Click on the Ratings Site in the left column to find out how. Let us search together for the Holy Grail of the Average Joe cigar smoker- a great $2.00 cigar! Thanks for taking the time to be part of this blog.
OK, I know. Inflation.
My name really is Joe, and I welcome you to ANOTHER freakin’ cigar blog/site! Why another?
Well, I’ve been smoking cigars since 1976 and in all that time- from the time of print dominated media into the internet age, and through “The Boom” in both cigar and cyberspace, I have yet to see any source of cigar information for average guys like you and me. I want to know how I can get good cigars at a good price. Anybody can find great cigars for $20 a pop, but how about a really good cigar for $1 to $3? They’re out there and my mission is to find them, and let you know about them. There are many house brand cigars, most of which are not worth your money. But, some... a few, are quite good. Together, we can find them.
And, how about the perspective of the current crop of cigar magazines, websites, and blogs? They all assume we make $200,000 a year and spend every other weekend playing golf in
The plan for this blog is to invite you to share your great cigar finds with the rest of us, for me to share mine, and together maybe have some fun along the way. Some time in the coming year I’d like to have some of you help me do a blind test of some of the good value cigars we discover. I will also rate some of the expensive cigars when I receive them as gifts, or the occasional one I can afford to buy for myself. However, my focus will be on finding those good cigar bargains.
2. When rating cigars try not to use descriptive terms that nobody understands like “undertones of Genovese balsamic gingernut leaf”, or “reminiscent of great northern black oak, recently extracted from
3. Compile two ratings lists: One of all the “Official” ratings of this blog, and one of all your ratings (see Rating Cigars tab for requirements)
4. Create a Joe Average’s Top Ten List of great cigar values.
The bad news is that not all of this is ready, yet. I am compiling some ratings now (and enjoying the smoking good cigars part!) and building the blog so it will be easy to use.
I am looking forward to hearing from some of you, and what you think of my plans for this blog. Hopefully, you will have some other great ideas, or you can share some of your great cigar finds with the rest of us. I am looking forward to this.
Yours,
