A note on affiliate links.
Posted By: Doug on Sunday Feb 04, 2007 Filed Under: Cigar Reviews, Site News
Hi folks.
I recently decided to add links to the various products that are reviewed here.
From time to time I may be able to get an affiliate link setup. I mean… why not?
I do want to make a few things clear though…
No review or opinion will ever be offered here that is colored in any way by that.
If I (or any author here) hate a cigar you’ll know it!
Further no particular product is ever chosen to review just because it’s available at an affiliate site.
If it’s not available at an affiliate site there will be a link to some other site that offers it. The important thing is that you get your stogies!
Still I realize there may be a perception of conflict of interest or favoritism.
I want to be very transparent with this. To that end i have decided to visibly mark any links that are affiliate links but not obvious advertisements.
If a link has “(aff)” after it that means I get credit for the sale.
If it doesn’t… I don’t.
Also, from time to time we may have guest authors that offer reviews.
These authors are not directed in anyway on what they should review, or what they should say.
The product links are not part of their review. They are merely a link to the product you read about… that’s what the internet is for.
Bottom line… there’s a link. Regardless of whether or not is is marked “(aff)” It has nothing to do with the content being there or what is contained within the post.
You can trust that the opinions offered on this site are honest ones.
Everyone has different tastes, and if you decide to try a cigar that you read about here you’re more than welcome to use that little link to give stogiecast.com credit.
Or not.

Well put. I like the big D here and cant wait to post more reviews, but I am not affiliated with the site in a professional matter (hes just a fellow BOTL who gived me room to write), nor would I be if he offered. I believe in calling a dog rocket what it is, and I have no doubt Doug does as well despite any links from here to retailers. If he didnt I would call em on it anyway. So read on secure in the mind you are getting the straight dope.
