I've been trying again and again to contact anyone over at that site, to no avail. One of the reasons is that I've been trying to review Kohlhase & Kopp's Asia 2018 blend (Tobacco Reviews | Kohlhase, Kopp und Co. KG - Edition II - Asia 2018 (Kohlhase & Kopp's World Tour) - https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/12430/kohlhase-kopp-und-co-kg-edition-ii-asia-2018), but it says "This tobacco has not been approved by a moderator yet".

I went to the contact page and wrote... probably about 20 requests so far over the past year... nothing. I don't know what else to do. And it's not just that issue either, I tried to contact them about other things too... for example, I wanted to add Kohlhase & Kopp's Casino Royal 2021 blend, since it isn't listed on the site yet.
Again, no response. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

The site is owned by Kretek International - (805) 531-8888. When last I heard anything about it, management of the site was not a priority.
Hey Jesse, what do you think about buying TR as their current management couldn't give a shit about it. I bet we could buy it cheap. Or maybe if you don't want to go in with me, maybe I could buy it and you can run it as I know nothing about running a web site. I would also put your name on the marquis with mine. What do you think?

I'd put jiminks on the marquee, if anybody, and have him run the site, since he been a moderator there for years.. I believe that a few people have asked about a price to buy the site, and the price quoted was more than anyone was interested in paying.

Maintaining a web site is a world of work. It's like opening a restaurant. Millions of people dream about it, but you have to be a workaholic maniac to make it work. Except of course for Kevin, who is a wizard.

do you think that's why the people who own it bought it. So they could sell it to someone that wants the site.
They bought a slew of properties, of which the Tobaccoreviews.com site was one Some were closed, some were spun off, this they kept and did a facelift, though I don't think they've put any serious thought into the actual running of it.

no it seems weird. Like they either have a plan that just hasn't been put into much action yet or that it's considered a raw asset. Glad I never liked reviews much.

I submitted 2 new blends to the tobaccoreviews.com site before seeing this thread.

Strangely enough they rejected one (Sutliff - Estate) and the other is still pending (Country Squire - Cordial Friends). If they had ignored both I would have read this thread and moved on, but with one being rejected I am slightly confused...
