How many of them would be just average or even a dog rocket? Well don't apply for a job at Cigar Insider as they tasted/rated 246 different cigars in 2009 and NOT A SINGLE FUCKING CIGAR was rated less than "Very Good". Not a single cigar they smoked was rated "Average"?

Not sure about you guys but even as snobby as I am about cigars I smoke several "Average" cigars during the course of the year and I guarantee you I do not smoke anywhere close to 246 different cigars!

Yep!

I have smoked Hemi Classics Nat and Mad for 17+ years. On average 6+ boxes a year, out of every box there are probably 2-4 that I pitch for bad draws etc!

I smoke about 2-3 cigars a day, 90% premium unless I am in the garage working! I probably pitch about 10-20% for problems!

Like my wife tells me life it to short let it die and burn another!

I guess CI just plain lies! JMHO!Posted Image
Smoke up Johnnie!

I guess they have to be polite to the guys letting them smoke for free all year. Anybody that spends 10 bucks on a cigar and it tastes like a RP would be pissed. If its free you shrug yer shoulders and say "meh" "auh right i guess, better than those cheap bastard cigars"

Wow, as stated above the law of averages would dictate that at least some of them would be pitch material.

Cigar Insider IMO is a joke with their ratings, CA is a little more down to earth with theirs.

No fucking way that out of 246 cigars you don't have at least 10% dog rockets and another 20-40% "average".
