Favored cigars survey


Recommended Posts

Having been asked on another forum regarding my motives, I thought I'd share my response here as well.

Interesting to note that of the half dozen sites I've posted this on, FOH has been by far the most responsive so far - thank you for that!

Fair question, sir.

My vocation is in computer technology, and of late am involved with efforts to leverage insights from social media. There is much hype regarding Facebook and Twitter though not so much regarding topic-specific forums.

As I mentioned, my objective is to take an informal survey across a handful of cigar-oriented websites (since those are the ones I most frequent and thus have an appreciation for) to capture somewhat unstructured data to test some hypotheses and technology related to collecting the information provided.

I am merely looking to collect reponses and not details regarding respondees, and will be using some hopefully sophisticated enough algorithms to scrape, analyze, collate and aggregate the results. Ambitious at best given the nature of various forum software applications, inconsistencies in response formats, and other factors.

End result will be to publish my findings, however inconclusive, on the original thread. Nothing more than that.

I have decided as part of my interest and vocation in data anlytics to do an informal survey on the most popular cigars preferred by country or region, not based on HSA sales or other figures, but rather on preferences of seasoned smokers that participate on cigar forums.

I expect the results to differ significantly from those generally reported as I doubt the most favored cigar in any population sample will be the Monte #4, which has been consistently specified as the most popular cigar in the world for some time.

All I am asking is that you post your home country and top 3 favorite marcas/vitolas so I may collect the data for aggregation and analysis.

This survey is being performed across a number of sites I frequent so I ask that you only respond once on the first forum you encounter this request. If you have any suggestions regarding other forums not mentioned in other posts you think I might use to contribute to the study, please include those - or PM me if you'd rather. I'd like to get as large a cross-section as possible.

I appreciate your participation.

After the survey would you be willing to share the data with us? I'd be curious to see what everyone responds as their fav's
