power to the people! SR is a blue collar cigar site, cigar snobs can head over to other sites. A lot of us out here are regular guys, we don’t need someone to break down “distant undertones” and the like.

Jerry, walt, brian and also justin are great, keep up the great work.

True Jerry may be the least technical smoker of the bunch (and he admtits it), but I’d say he’s accurate on his reviews. Of course a lot of reviewing smokes is subjective, but he can pick apart a smoke’s taste with the best of them. I know this isnt a ‘who’s better’ debate. They all balance each other out. Good chemistry. Where one lacks the other picks up. It’s all good. Keep em coming! When Jerry comes back the team will be complete.

Justin I think your fan base is growing. Jerry is definitely the “character” of the site but he’s lacking on actual cigar knowledge which is where you, Walt and Brian come in. Sometimes even Jerry’s goofy last can get old so its nice to have other videos that bring other dimensions to the table.

This is what makes SR the MAC DADDY of all cigar website!

Justin, you the man! Keep up the good work. I have not had much luck with the Torano line of cigars. But after viewing this video review I am much more inclined to give them another try.

I might have a clue to why you got the one star rating. I remember back when I first came to this site, and I wanted to rate a video review. I did not understand that when you click on a star that produced the rating. I thought I was to click on the stars (I saw them as a group of stars not individual stars) and -then- I would get the option to rate the video. Unfortunately, that video got a rating according to whatever star I happened to click on. Maybe that is what happened here.

I also think that this kind of erroneous clickage is most likely to happen when either there are no stars showing or if all 5 stars are showing. Or, perhaps it is just too late at night and the rater should have gone to bed rather than attempt such a thing!

Good one, Justin. I’m glad you got the cutting and lighting back into the reviews.
I recently tried an Ashton Heritage Puro Sol, the Belicoso #2, a most beautiful cigar, a wonderful oily wrapper, but a bit lacking in terms of taste, much like your Toraño. A very enjoyable smoke, nonetheless. It would be nice to see you review it.

I used to be a bartender and you’re always supposed to pour beer close to the tap and at a angle, unless the customer wants a ton of suds.

Justin your reviews are fine.
all I need to know is if the cigar is good and worth buying.
I don’t need like, Daniel said “a film directed by Steven Spielberg” people are just to used to Jerry & Walt, you know they just mix well together….but in time people see you that way to.

its all good dog!
