Welcome to Refined Vices! Good day to you one and all. I am Count Silvio Dante. I welcome you all to Refined Vices.com. I would like to begin by taking this opportunity to introduce the purpose of this website to you.
Refined vices was started because of my great passion for fine rums, whiskey and cigars and the general lifestyle that is usually associated with them.
While we will be concentrating mostly on aged rums we will occasionally review whiskey and cigars as well. My goal is to offer plenty of information about the reviewed product but most of all how it tastes, afterall that is what matters the most, does it not? In the process of writing these reviews not only do I wish to inform the readers but I hope to educate myself in the matter as well. What I also find very important, as a provider of information and as a consumer, is to know what the product in question looks like. That is why I will include a high quality picture of the product in every review, contrary to the small thumbnails most websites offer. This way the reader will know exactly what to search for on the shop shelves should he decide to purchase something.
On top of that we will occasionally post news articles related to the fine spirits and cigars and will allow user submitted news articles as well. Such articles could be stories about distillery tours or tasting events for example. If you feel like you have a good article for Refined Vices, we encourage you to send it in. For more information about submitting news articles visit the frequently asked questions page.
Last but not least make sure you register at the forums and drop a comment or two! In the forums you can give your personal opinion about the fine spirits and cigars, comment on the reviews or discuss about other matters if that is how you feel.
