That's cool you're entitled to your opinion. Have any ideas on what we could do to make it more interesting? We did some sketch type episodes before like a star trek theme, pirate theme, man vs. cigar, etc. We plan to do more of that here soon. Let me know what the videos need and I can definitely add to it to make it enjoyable for all. Thanks for taking a look. Also, if the videos are painful, we do a written review along with the video for those that don't want to watch.

The point of the site is to find a good cigar that you can smoke on a regular basis (everyday cigar) that won't break the bank. I'm definitely in the category that can't pay for the more expensive smokes because I can't "break the bank". I have 4 kids and the family takes up most of my funds.

Only suggestions I would make are to get a better microphone like a boom mic or something and then the video quality. The rest is pretty good. I think people are expecting some high budget ordeal but its a cigar review site. If you look at the numerous youtube video reviews you guys are already light years ahead of them. Keep doing what you do and I for one appreciate you and your reviews. I have purchased some good smokes for dirt cheap. They don't taste like $14 cigars but for $1-$2 they can't be beat.

We actually got a boom mic but that introduced even more hiss than the internal mic. I think it's because my smoking room used to be my garage where the breaker switch is so there is tons of electrical interference in this room. I can't wait until it gets warmer outside so we can do some more reviews outside again.

I like the website. The reviews are accurate. Most of my cigars are under $3, it took me a long time to find the good ones.

I watched their 'diamond in the rough' review of the Gran Habano Corojo Vintage 2002 and then found one in in the back of the humi from a sampler. Good call.

Hey guys I just wanted to draw your attention to the shout out to the website in the most recent Crap Cigar video on their website. I get a shout out too but I told him it was more important that the sites, this one and then Pipe Chat, get a shout out. I don't know how to embed the video here so here is a link to the page with the short article/review.

That's a cool thing that was done by both them and you. Thanks.

I'm fairly certain that video embedding is disabled here.

Yeah it's disabled. These guys could do some good with reviews, they just need to cut the joking and laughing down a bit. As well as the intro. Do 7-8 minute videos, throw in a few jokes here and there that would be much better.

No problem and thank you and everyone else for watching the video. I hope it atleast brings a few more guys here.

That would make sense because I was able to embed it in other forums but not this one. Thanks.

I tend to disagree. I like the laid back style and joke filled reviews. It makes it more watchable. If I wanted to watch boring cigar smokers review cigars I would watch ever other video out there. I like watching these guys for the banter back and forth and the reviews. Maybe I am just crazy though, after all this is the asylum.

I like the back and forth of the videos but the intro to the videos is just way to long.
