If bestbuy ran a blog reviewing electronics and posting a link to their website for every item on their website would that matter? A blog can and is seen by many as a type of journalism.
A news agency would disclose up front it's relationship, like NBC does with anything about GE products.
Let me put it this way, if this blog is done the same but just a link at cigarsolutions.com no problem it is cigarsolutions.com's blog and it would be plainly obvious why they review the things they do. But that isn't the case. They hide under a different url and thinly disquise who they are and the reason for their reviews, ie all comercial interest.
Simply put I find issue with any blog that doesn't disclose who they really are, who they are owned by, if at all, and their motivation.
