[QUOTE="kilted1, post: 58220, member: 540"] Several years ago, another pipe smoker (who shall remain nameless) and myself were considering starting an alternative tobacco review site structured this very way, eliminating a * based rating system, requiring these items in a structured form for the review, and a structured profile for each member. The review would populate the reviewer's top 5 tobacco blends, and top 5 frequently smoked blends (they are not always the same thing) as a point of reference for those reading the review. There would be latitude for free-form review within the required fields, but if all required fields were incomplete the review wouldn't post. The idea was to have consistent criterion for reviews, and a point of reference understanding something of the reviewers preferences. I've always loved the reviews from folks who say they are a frequent 'English smoker' who is now trying out a VA flake and can't taste anything, then go about saying how it falls so short of Dunhill 965 or some such mess. My other favorites are the 4 or 5 line 'reviews' saying that "This blend tastes like crap wrapped in an old sock. It fried my tongue and ghosted my pipe beyond repair" Both of us had life get in the way of finishing up the project and launching it, but it's been a back burner idea of mine for about 5 years or so.
