    @jcruz IMO asking is not worse than: plagiarizing, stealing, lying, false representation, lack of disclosure. We make less fuss about those.

    @jcruz Can rattle off five blogs off the top of my heads that don't disclose their jobs in the industry.

    @elninodiablo I’m against all that too but samples comes up more…I see you point and if I were you I’d be upset if content was being stolen

    @jcruz Ethically, those are all larger issues. From a reader's perspective how is asking different than being given free samples?

    @elninodiablo I think it’s totally different. Accepting a sample is saying the manufacturer wants your feedback. Asking for a sample isn’t.

    @jcruz Once again, how hard is saying no? And, from the reader's perspective how are they different? Ethically?

    @elninodiablo one makes us look bad, the other doesn’t. How hard is it just to not ask?

    @jcruz If @brianhewitt starts asking for free J. Fuegos, is it honestly changing anything from the reader's perspective?

    @elninodiablo @brianhewitt it should if a review is based on it.

    @jcruz So from a reader's perspective, there's a difference of being sent something to review vs. asking for something to review? #dontseeit

    @elninodiablo just like I choose not to reviews @chiefhava cigars…he’s my friend and there is an inherent bias.

    @jcruz cigar blogging has a lot of maturing it could do, instead we focus on random blogspot asking for samples?
