Re: What's most important when rating a cigar?
flavor 100%
construction is important - i hate a tight cigar - however, i find that a tight draw actually makes the flavor worse - so it doesn't have to be a category in and of its self, as the flavor is directly correlated. That is, I've had tight cigars where I could catch a glimmer of awesome flavor, and knew that it would taste good if only it would draw - but until (if) I can get it to draw it just doesn't taste good. I've never had a cigar that was tight enough to hardly allow any smoke, yet the tiny bit of smoke that did make it through tasted just as good as an unplugged cigar... Just never works that way IMHO.
Price is important when I go to buy, but doesn't change what the cigar is or is not.
