Content Policy

1. Stay Relevant

Focus on your firsthand experience with the place you’re reviewing (e.g., selection, atmosphere, service, or pricing). Off-topic rants—political ideologies, employment practices, and other unrelated topics—aren’t the right fit here.

2. Keep It Civil

Express yourself honestly, but please avoid harassing or hateful language, threats, or lewd content. We welcome passion and detail—but not profanity, personal attacks, or bigotry.

3. Conflicts of Interest

Your review should be unbiased. Don’t review your own business (or a relative’s or friend’s). Similarly, don’t review direct competitors, or accept any compensation for a review. Businesses shouldn’t solicit reviews from customers in exchange for discounts or freebies.

4. Respect Privacy

Please avoid posting personal or private details (like someone’s full name if not publicly known, phone numbers, email addresses). Also, don’t upload close-up photos of people unless you have their permission.

5. No Promotions or Spam

Keep the community’s best interests at heart. Reviews shouldn’t be advertisements or promotions. This includes spammy links, coupon codes, or other commercial noise. Let’s keep the focus on genuine experiences.

6. Original Content Only

Write in your own words and share your own photos. Don’t copy text from other sources (websites, other reviews, or AI tools) or post images that aren’t yours.

7. Photo & Video Tips

8. Updating Reviews

If you revisit a shop or lounge and have a new experience, feel free to update your review. Keep edits meaningful—tell us what’s changed rather than rehashing the same details.

9. Keep It Helpful

Think about what future customers might want to know—prices, humidor quality, staff knowledge, seating comfort, and overall atmosphere. The best reviews are personal, detailed, and useful.
