The ignore feature is helpful with all of the look at me's and TMI posts....

Bravo Todd!

I had been doing some thinking about this one also. Ideally I would like to be able to look up one specific cigar and be able to see every review that anyone on cigarpass has written on that cigar. I know that can be accomplished with the search, but forum searches are clunky and not always very accurate; people misspell, leave out parts of names, don't include vitolas, use abbreviations, etc.

Also, if you were to add a cigar database to the site (which is where this is going), you could do a lot of other things with it also. You could implement some kind of numerical rating system for cigars, where members could add their own personal rating for each cigar. It would be neat to see statistics such as "CigarPass.com's favorite cigar", or favorite by size, favorite under $3, favorite's of members with over 1000 posts, etc. Collecting and storing the data is the hard part. You can do all kinds of neat things with the data once you have it.

I know that is by no means a small task. I was considering what features I would like to have in a website if I were to build one. This was the focal point of my ideas.

First of all I think the ideas in the second paragraph are awesome.

however there is just as much potential for "user error" in the database as fas as misspellings, wrong/missing vitola names, etc. UNLESS someone takes the time to enter every single valid brand/line/wrapper/vitola combination, and validate against that (or dynamically populate the drop down lists or what have you), AND keep that list of combos updates, as companies are always coming our with new products.

Honestly, it's a great idea, but it's really pie-in-the sky. I think for now we'll have to settle for the forum, and just make snarky comments at the people who misspell thread title word (like the MMM thread that's a "Refererence" for padron products )

Rod -

How about a new category called "I Am The Man"

It could be used for all of atuck's "look at me" posts

I agree with Fast4Dr I think it is time for a section dedicated to the cigar porn. I think it would prevent some flare ups here and there and plus if ya dont wanna look you dont have to .
