I’ve done a few reviews with Matt here and on The Stogie Review. I’ve told him for a couple of years that he should start a cigar review site. His take was that cigar blogs are a dime a dozen, and the world doesn’t need another one. I agree with him, I am one of those dozen.

Recently he launched CigarPorn.com. It is a cigar site, but it offers something a little different. Matt dabbles in photography, and that is the focus of the site. He will be updating it once a week, on Wednesdays. Sure, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s nice to see something new and a little different in the cigar site world. So go check out CigarPorn.com and keep an eye on it!

The purpose of these posts is to help spread the word and point you to sites you may never have heard of. Finding a cigar site to mention was easy at first. Then I started to have a hard time sifting through many places that were to be honest, not good. They either lacked consistent content, were run by people who were moochers, or just did not have anything of interest to me. I don’t want fluff or bullshit. Cigar review sites are a dime a dozen, and finding one that is good seems to get harder and harder. That’s not to say TomsCigars.com is anything special… I’m just sayin… I think The Chief summed it up the best HERE.

Then I ran across CasasFumando.com. I find their reviews to be very detailed and honest. I don’t know much about the site, other then I found the content to be a great read. There seems to be consistent updates, which is a pet peeve of mine. It’s not about how many posts you can do in a week. It’s more about doing what you can consistently. These guys deliver where it counts, so go check them out!

Why am I reluctant to brag about new cigar sites? This small rant will explain.

But this guy started out with a good approach. He is posting content on a regular basis that fits with his lifestyle. This means he didn’t start out with new content every day in order to get high ranks on Google. This would give readers a false expectation from the start. Only time will tell the future of this site, but I think it will be around awhile.

Go check out Mikes Stogies for good honest written reviews. He also is dabbling in video reviews, which I enjoy.

I can’t take it anymore… All of these cigar blogs out there, and many of them turn in to crap. They come out of the gate swinging and dwindle to mediocrity. I understand life happens, so why not just end the site or let the readers know what’s up? I it see too often, a post every month or two as the site becomes smaller and smaller. Dying a slow pitiful death…

Before you haters start posting, let me say first… I’m not implying TomsCigars.com is some great model site. I’m not even implying the content here is good. If anything, the message you should get from this place is that virtually any cigar smoker can do this. Chances are quite a few readers will enjoy and learn from you, even if you have an average palate like me. But enough of my sniveling…

David, who runs The Cigar Nut, took a different approach. He found a pattern that was realistic to his lifestyle. Even if it is one or two posts a week, I can always count on consistent reviews. When life gets in the way, he let’s his readers know what happened.

So if consistent, honest reviews are important to you, go visit The Cigar Nut!

It took awhile, but Stew eventually started doing video cigar reviews. They have an honest vibe with an angle only he can provide. When you go pay Stew a visit, you may ask yourself why he has slowed down on updating the site lately. I believe he is one of the few with a valid excuse, and it makes perfect sense if you are a new father like he is. So leave here and go visit A World According to Stew!
