Hmmmm....... No fun will have to figure out a way
Dave, want to start up a new "retail establishment" with me? :eyebrow:
Start a cigar blog. They give some badges to members of the media. However, from what I've heard they're going to clamp down on bloggers getting in, because some (not all) aren't legit...they just want free cigars. I think next year you have to be a member of the Cigar Media Association to attend.
Not to threadjack but what makes a blogger legit? (
That's a good question. There are a lot of legit bloggers who have a lot of readers, and there are some who have very little readers. I don't know if the number of readers you equates to legitimacy. I'm kinda curious about what standards you need to meet to be in the CMA.
I am curious if BOTL would meet that criteria. If so, would the members of said forum be invited or just the site owners? From what I quickly googled, it seems that the basis of the CMA is to disseminate information to the general public. What better way than to post on a super legit brother(and sister)hood of most excellent people. Well, except for ChefboyRG54, he's just a bully.
Regardless, if the mods want to pursue that avenue, it would only be a benefit to the brotherhood and something I'd be happy to look into it.
