Little infromation.

[Sweetrice80]

Some of you may or may not know that I am a psychology Major at Catholic University of America in Washington DC, I work at a library for the time being. Because of that I have a lot of time to look at some cool information. So while searching through some of the library database I found this link, about cigars. Take a look. Most of its graphs and numbers. But it is kind of cool to look at it . Keep in mind the sample size is (n) so at the bottom of very graph is how many people participated in that experiment. Give me some feedback; do think that information provide is right with the small sample size?

One thing I notice right away was the % of people smoking only to the ring (58%) rather than the lip (23%), because personally, I love the end of cigars and I would feel guilty by throwing it out before the reaching the very end.


CIGAR RESEARCH

Edit: to say this is a little outdated too keep that in mind, 1998 it was conducted.

Interesting. I'd love to see the results of a similarly comprehensive survey with CPers as respondents.

It would be tough to fill out the questionnaire with all the burnt fingertips.

I told you else where I could check out your avatar. Interesting reading. Since you work at a library can you recomend some books about fermenting and different ways to roll cigars. Possible some blending?

I live in rural Ohio and I've read every book on cigar tobacco available through our library system. Thanks,

Brian

Maybe we should make one for CP

I might be able to help you out. Here is the deal. Go to your public library and ask someone that you want to speak to the person who is in charge of the Interlibrary Loans department, every library has one (I think, at least my public library does). What does that mean? It means that you will be able to access books from different libraries from all over the world. In normally takes two weeks before the book arrives. But if you want a book on cigars, focusing on different ways to roll cigars, you can ask your Interlibrary loan specialist to find a book like that and request it from anywhere in the world. I am sure at least one library in the world has a book on how to roll cigars.

This is also very helpful if you would like certain books in different languages, which is why it was developed in the first place. PM me if you have any questions.

I can do that, give me some time. I will take the same questions on what they asked in the data I found and ask our fellow brothers here in CP. I will maybe add in a few questions for the giggles. This is where I need you guys, how do you think I can can ask the questions and get a responds to the questions, to record it? Should I ask a different question everyday, maybe provide a poll? My only concern about that is the lack of participation. If I can get a somewhere between 50 to 100 people answering the questions, this can be fun and interesting and very accurate. If below 50 people participant then the data is far from the real truth. Another concern is that on some nights/days more people are on CP than other nights, if I give out a poll or question one night I may not get the same or close to the same number of people participating.

Lastly, before you all fall asleep, another concern I have is if I post a Poll one day and another the other day, that does not guarantee that the same one person is answering both questions. A research needs consistency. Something I was thinking was, maybe I can write out a questionnaire and send it to people who are willing to participate? Though PM or Emails. Let me know your thoughts.

I think you'd probably want to have all the questions in one place rather than spreading them out like a daily poll or something. How long would that exact same survey take a person to complete? 15-20 minutes max? People waste far more time than that on the internet...

I expect the most difficult aspect of things would be hosting it online somewhere and collecting the data. Analyzing it simply for descriptive statistics like mean, median, and mode is a piece of cake, although making those nifty cigar-themed graphs might be a bit more work.
