How do you pick cigars?

Posted by migrantblogger on June 23, 2009

I have no idea if anyone reads cigar reviews any more. I hope so; after all, I occasionally put reviews together for Luxist. But, I realize that there are other places where you can get the information you need, as well. Do you rely on your tobacconist? Recommendations from friends? Spread the news! Help us out.
