Last weekend I decided to create a daily discussion on the Stogie Review Fan Forums. The idea was to pose a discussion topic to the members of the forum for a days time. After that day elapsed, I would lock the thread and pose a brand new topic.
Our second topic was one that went over exactly how I planned. The community members stepped up and really expressed their views on the subject. The topic I posed for discussion was "How large does a manufacturer need to become before you no longer consider them boutique and does it change your opinion of their product?"
The responses were very interesting and certainly got me thinking. Jut when I thought I had my head wrapped around my own opinion, I saw it from another angle and raised even more questions for myself.
Before I get into sharing my opinion on this, lets take a look at some of the key posts that got me thinking about boutique cigars even more-so than I was when I posted the discussion topic.
