The Rules of Evidence

5 accountability checkboxes on every entry page:

  1. ☐ BAND BLIND: Cover the band. Smoke the first third before you look. Write the notes first, then reveal the brand.
  2. ☐ NO OUTSIDE SCORES: Do not copy someone else's rating into your head. This page is the only verdict that counts.
  3. ☐ TOUCH-UPS COUNT: If you had to correct the burn, it is part of the review. Write it. Do not excuse it.
  4. ☐ PRICE IS NOT FLAVOR: If cost influenced you, admit it. Value matters. Hype does not.
  5. ☐ ONE CIGAR, ONE ENTRY: If you cannot remember it tomorrow, you did not review it. Write it now.
