Ratings symbology

As Nick L. laid out in the last post, we are going to stick to a straight 0-10 scale, to get away from the whole 100-point scale that everyone else uses. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you saw a cigar rated under 80?

So to help you get a quick review at a glance, we are going to implement these fine cigar rating images . Each image represents a person or character of the quality denoted by the number rating. Here they are, starting at 0:




That's quite a crew, I have to say! And before your internet rage comes bubbling out over the fact that Mr. Belvedere is ranked higher than Captain Kirk, just keep in mind that I am not changing these!

Well, until we get tired of them, and then we will come up with new ratings.

And, if we encounter that once-in-a-blue-moon cigar, that smoke that makes all others seem, well, Urkel-ish, then they get the special honor of the coveted "11" rating. And there's only one man for that position:



So those are the ratings symbols you will see from now on. I hope that you either enjoyed them or were at least entertained by the pretty colors.

See you soon...
