Annoying reviews

Anybody else get annoyed in tobaccoreviews.com when smokers of English blends and other non-aromatics review aromatics and when aromatic fans review English and other non-aromatic blends?

95% of the time they pan the subject tobacco.


There should be some federal law against this.

I generally looks for reviews similiar to my own on a particular tobacco ... and then I check out what other blends these same people enjoy. I've found several new favorites this way.

Some of the negative reviews can be quite funny though. But even if everyone thought very poorly of the blends I enjoy - this would not stop me from smoking them.

True, Ted.

But it kills me when they start out with "I'm not an aromatic fan, in fact I despise them...but I decided to try this one and it disappointed me."


Well no shit, Sherlock.

Some people aren't happy unless they are complaining ...

That's not why I'm complaining, though.

I agree. If they can't be objective why bother doing the review

When ever I leave a review on that site... I look at other reviews of a particular tobacco I'm gonna try... Then I agree or disagree with the past reviews most of the time agreeing... Like the McClelland Bulk Blend 5100 Red Cake I've noticed this does have a floral aroma to it...
