The goal of our rating system is to enhance the experience of everyone who wants to enjoy a good cigar and to provide the world's largest collection of information on all types of cigars. The information you share in your reviews will be included in our database and integrated into each product's features (displayed on each product's page). You also have the option to share a photo that is automatically uploaded to your newsfeed along with your rating (found in the menu under "Newsfeed" where you can see other people's posts, news, etc.).

Reviews are always subjective, and everyone has different tastes, but collecting the opinions of many cigar lovers at all levels allows us to better understand the quality and experience of the product. It also includes non-subjective categories that are always important when considering buying a new cigar.

The first five categories are the most important, which will give us the total score (in percentages from 0 to 100%). You rate from half a star (the lowest option to rate) to five stars to assign a quality value to each category. Half a star is the worst, 5 stars is the best. All these categories are mandatory.

This is referenced to how the cigar burns. If it burns straight, if it burns very slowly or very quickly or at an acceptable rate. If there are many problems when lighting it or if you need to try several times.

In this category, it seeks to evaluate the taste of cigars and, in turn, has the highest value. If it has good flavors, if the flavors are rich, very pronounced and with good body, and if all the flavors blend well or if they do not mix properly. If they are very complex or very simple.
