The Role of Blogs within the Cigar Industry

The brands that do participate in the blogosphere and social media such as Tatuaje, Illusione, Padilla, are 'boutique' brands. It seems they make and market cigars for those of us invested into the hobby and lifestyle, not your casual cigar smoker. I think many people that participate on forums like this or regularly follow cigar blogs are serious cigar smokers, so it's only logical to go after this group because it's their lifeblood. I rarely see anyone reviewing something from General or Altadis anymore.

I'm amazed that there are 53,000 unique visitors to Stogie Guys a month. How big do you think this "serious" cigar smoking population is?
