Noticable Curiosity

[muhren]

Since this is a broad spectrum thinking kinda of thing. Here is another thought.

I was talking to Steve Saka at one point, and he said something like 'you know 98% of cigar smokers aren't on the internet and forums.' I don't know if he was making up that fact or not, BUT it may seem like some brands are hot (because they're referenced a lot on a forum via discussions) when in actual sales figures (like the first post states) they're not even close to the big old boys.

Also, the Internet and forums specifically are a relatively new medium (considering the 2001 start date to this line of thought) and the new companies are a little more savvy and involved in shaping discussions about their brands.

Lastly, as a point WAY off topic...for discussion's sake, it's more "fun" to talk about a new release than it is to say something like "I smoked another X because its consistent"

Comparative example...Other folks don't want to know you've been sleeping with your wife for 30 years (even though it's been great for both of you). They want to read about what that college kid did last night after that party when he went home with those two hot girls.

Folks want to READ sizzle. I'm sure most would like to SMOKE consistent.
