Benchmark cigars - by Brand

[Ken Gargett]

to anyone who is a bit technical - i reckon that this would be a really interesting concept done in the voting system for each one. it would certainly make it much easier to follow.

as in put up a series of threads, one for each brand, and then put the options up for voting.

just a thought.

Montecristo: _No. 2____

Partagas: Lusitana or 898 Varnished
