Are you fucking kidding me?

You must not be aware of my established site that happens to have the same level of traffic as Cigar Aficionado that makes an average of $5 - $6,000 a month?

http://www.cigar-review.com/ is a professional online magazine as opposed to the many part-time hobbyists with blogs. We have staff writers with their own columns, and professional photographers. We have a rotating panel of cigar reviewers that do blind reviews each month. You can see an example of how we publish our reviews here:

Gary J. Arzt, formerly of Cigar Snob Magazine has moved his monthly column to Cigar Review.

Cigar Review has an events calendar and ranks #3 for 'cigar events' in Google. We attend events and report on them. You can see coverage of an Alec Bradley event here:

We have beginner articles, a database of cigar friendly restaurants, exclusive recipes written by an executive chef, "Cigar Babe" photo galleries, and very active forums.

We have a monthly restaurant review:

Yeah, I guess I should pack it in and start a football or nascar site, neither of which I follow, know anything about, or give a shit about. Yeah, that's the ticket.
