Since I am pretty new to the whole cigar thing, I like to read up on reviews from anywhere I can (top25, CI, CA...)
All these sources leave me with the same question:
What is with their scales? Most places say they give a score out of 100, but I have NEVER seen a review lower than 80.
So whats the point of rating out of a 100 if you only use 1/5 of the range?
Does this mean they only review cigars good enough to score 80 and up?
Are all hand rolled cigars worthy of an 80?
I guess what it boils down to is that I am interested in figuring out what serves as a benchmark for a score of 0 and a score of 100.
Any thoughts/rants/opinions?
