    I'm no professional photographer, but I do enjoy the art of a good photographer. Just my opinions:

    1- Cool picture. But the image just isn't appealling to me.
    2- I really can't see anything.
    3- A nice well rounded photograph. I like the contrast in light as much as the contrast of color.
    4- Not really sure how this image made it in. The camera is focused on the countertop and the cigar and coffee are blurry.
    5- My favorite. I liked this image so much it's now my desktop background. There are so many things going on in this image that just surround and wrap the cigar in beauty. The intricate blue smoke, the refraction of light in the glass, the colors of nature and autumn, the peaceful and inviting setting that just screams "this was a good day," make this a great photograph in my eyes.

    Personally I vote for number one, i though it had great composition and showed some skills in photography. The stick(s) is a strange one.....

    Ya know Jeff, you are pretty rude. You don't like the music I use on some of my videos. Grand. Don't watch them. You have made it a point to comment on this is a few threads now, presumably just to draw attention to yourself. Congratulations. Now give it a rest, at least when it comes to my site and videos please. We know how you feel, no one cares.

    yeh i'm sorry..
    i'm just being jerk..just trying to be funny/offer some constructive criticism...it was my intent to bash YOU in anyway
    I visit your site often and don't mind/ watch the videos .
    I just think some other forms of music "at times" would find the "environment" better.
    Again I apologize for being rude, and yes I did just want to draw attention to myself, so now giving it a rest!

    Whoa Whoa Whoa.... No Need for harsh feeling here... but I do know that when it comes down to the nitty gritty you two are similar in what your are trying to convey.... A cigar review website...

    That being said, Unless my post are completely off topic, I have never seen any TRUE animosity between your two sites, until now....


    Now for the record, I rarely visit BOTH of your sites, just for the fact that I AM that MY personal best reviewer, not anyone else... but the fact remains that both you guys have equal rights to equal internet space.


    From what I've seen you guys have no beef... Jeff_connors reviews cigars that he has in his humidor and takes pics of them with some crazy robot voice....

    CigarObsession is out to make the big bucks and will review anything in front of them, especially if gifted to them...

    Like I said, I rarely visit EITHER of your sites, but that's the difference I see.... so please, keep this civil so we don't have to choose sides.

    I conceded , the shenanigans will stop
    Hey shenanigans is in the dictionary

    Lasabar, You read way too much into my post. I said nothing about site vs. site in any way. I accept Jeff's apology and case closed. :)
  • kaelariakaelaria Posts: 572 ✭
    And BTW I don't make 'the big bucks'. In fact I don't make a dime, it COSTS me money. Sure I get some donations - in exchange for the exposure and advertising. I don't get paid a single cent by anyone. The vast majority of my sticks were purchased retail by me, and yes I am more than happy to review donated sticks. Don't think that means they buy reviews - I have given poor reviews of donated sticks and one manufacturer has already 'taken his ball and gone home' because of it. Oh well.

    Culebras were started by rollers in Cuba. They were allowed to take home 1 cigar a day, so they would wrap three pantellas together and be able to walk out with only 1 cigar.
