Reviewing

I've recently gotten away from reviewing cigars again. I started getting really into it and reviewing almost every cigar I smoked. I was doing this bc my memory isn't always the greatest and I have a bad habit of smoking a cigar, not liking it and forgetting that and buying it again. But then I found that I was no longer relaxing and enjoying the cigar. Also more often than not I was dissappointed in the cigar. Now I'm not saying that this isn't an enjoyable way to smoke a cigar bc for some, kuzi I imagine, this is probably the most enjoyable way to smoke a cigar. All I'm saying is that it wasn't enjoyable for me. I don't think you guys will see anymore reviews from me, not that I was good at it to begin with. I might jump on right after I smoke a cigar that was exceptional and give a lil breakdown but that'll be about it.
I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same way about this?

i do have to admit though, there are times where i just wanna smoke a cigar. this is why i dont revew every cigar i smoke. sometimes just sitting around with good company is what i want... or a good walk. this is the reason why i have not reviewed the 5 vegas Cask strength. (i probably never will because its hard to find em now a days) i had some but when i felt like smoking it i didnt feel like reviewing it.
i also find myself deciding to smoke or not to smoke a cigar based on if i have reviewd it yet. it really limits my choices at times.
I can see there are some who get their enjoyment not only from the act of smoking the cigar, but from analyzing it as well. But if it is becoming an issue for you bud...just sit and smoke.
I agree with you maddy about smoking a cigar just to review it can take the enjoyment out of the smoke. Besides I have never been that good at it to begin with,,,,,lol.
On a side note I see you have mentioned the tats and 601's. I've also started smoking these I'm really starting to enjoy the 601 green.
Yes it is a maduro.
on second thought, i like being able to tape the bands into the notebook.
I'll have to try the 2003, they are becoming a hard cigar to come by with many others in the line. I've been getting away from maduro cigars lately, don't know why exactly, getting more of the naturals.
Have you had the Tat Black?
Tried to get some but everyone was out of stock by the time I was able to place an order. You?
I will tell you they aren't the powerhouse that most other Tats are but they are nonetheless still decent cigars.
Besides being a good way to educate your palate, that can be fun. But, like you said, maddy, sometimes you just want to smoke a cigar. Sometimes paying attention to everything just gets in the way.
I do much fewer reviews now than I did a month ago. Partly that's just because I've been smoking fewer new-to-me cigars, but partly it's because I haven't wanted to pay such close attention.
i can tell you that nobody will think any less of you if you dont review cigars.
I'm not really good at reviews anyways, its kind of just a bunch of random thoughts so you guys won't be missing much anyways.
and .... PTFTW!
