Tobaccoreviews.com - New Format

[peckinpahhombre]

Just noticed this tonight. I have to say, it looks much better than the old one. Any thoughts?

Sam info, different format.

I looked. I don't think I like what they did.

It looks a lot more functional to me. My big gripe before was how you couldn't sort much. Now everything in a column seems sortable. I read that members were going to get reliability ratings somehow, too, which will be interesting to see. I dislike having to wade through pages of "no nicotine and I hate latakia, Westminster gets 0 stars" to get to the good reviews.
Honestly, this site could use some revamping. The forum has some pretty archaic things going on compared to something like the Xenforo powered forums.

I like it.

 

[billypm]

Don't like it yet. Hope it grows on me.

Peck: Is it a useful site? Or, just a nice place to browse for general info?

 

[dervis]

I like it on my phone. Easier for what I want to look at.

I like the formatting a lot more. I wish reviewers were able to give more than four stars, at least five, but a 1-10 rating would better. That said, the problem I have with the ratings is that they're all over the board. While you can see that a majority of folks give this blend a solid 3 stars, the tasting comments are all different, and bottom line, I can't tell if I'm going to like something based on the reviews. So, what's the point?

Hmmm I think I like it better, at least on my phone. I haven't gotten on it with a computer yet.

Increased functionality is always a good thing, you can now sort the material to find different aspects which may be of interest. I like what they have tried to do.
Loke most new things, people tend not like it at first but then it grows on them.

I like it quite a bit, seems easier to get a grip on where each reviewer is coming from, so one can separate the pipe smokers from the drama queens. I think Chuck and his crew have done well!

 

[judcole]

Looks interesting. Seems faster. I'll see how it goes the next time I really dig into it.

 

[scrapyardape]

Nice new look, but I still don't like the place. Too many people there appear to do be doing nothing more than competing with one another to see who can be the most unimpressed/horrified/nauseated with many tobacco blends. :|

 

[shayde]

I hate posting on my iPhone it always posts the same thing twice, then I have to go and edit one and pretend I was trying to say something else....

 

[shayde]

They actually have a badge system as well now, I don't know if they had it before or not. So at least now you can sort of tell what kinda reviewers are reviewing negatively/positively.

 

[05venturer]

It's like a whole new site! I really like the upgrades.

 

[mike73]

The new format is nice. Searching for items should be easier.

 

[Perique]

I don't dislike change. But I do when it comes to tech-- Especially to operating systems, forums, etc. Always seems a great idea but more cumbersome in practice. I'll probably come around once I get used to it.
One note: it doesn't appear optimized for iPad viewing.

I think the changes are great and long overdue. If you know how to use that site, you can find tons of great blends. I have been using it since 2001 and have found most of my favorites from it with this site being the other source of my favorites. Yes there are tons of crap reviews and reviewers, but I weed those out very quickly.
I have my favorite reviewers that have similar tastes to mine, I see what they like and have bought many blends based on their reviews with great success.
