We need a handbook of the acronyms showing up in reviews. I have no idea what some of them mean.

 

TIA,

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Doug's not getting much help here, so as someone who uses said acronyms, here are the ones I use and their meanings:

- PLA means pre-light aroma, aka the sniff test resulting in a whiff of... usually just tobacco, at least in my case.  As I've mentioned in various reviews, my sniffer ain't up to much so I rarely detect the aromas others get.
- PLD means pre-light draw, or how tight or open the draw is.  I think some use it to also mean the flavors they detect from sucking on an unlit cigar.  I don't use it that way as I rarely get any flavors that way.
- I think I've seen PLT used, which I believe is intended to mean pre-light taste.  See PLD above...

I don't know where you came up with these acronyms, but they are not universal and don't seem to appear in any other cigar forums that I'm on, or even a Google search for that matter (using the PLA+cigar). Only you and Druid use these for the most part. Are you in a secret club that we don't know about?    :confused:

Must be!  I got them from seeing Druid use them and assumed they were widely used.  But, this is in fact the only cigar forum I frequent, so that was indeed only an assumption and apparently not a good one...   :smoker2:

 :lmao: Thanks for that revelation, Todd.  These made up acronyms are driving at least a few people crazy. "Prelight aroma" and "prelight draw" (or "cold draw") read a whole lot better.
