Editorial policy

1. Every fact has a source. Published claims link to the sources behind them, with the date checked.
2. No guessing. Unknown details stay blank. We never invent locations, opening hours, quotes or figures.
3. No fake firsthand reporting. We say we visited or interviewed someone only after we have, with their consent.
4. Brand is not maker. We separate who owns a brand from who makes it, and date every production claim.
5. Ratings are attributed. Scores belong to the publications that gave them: we name the publication, year and scale and never copy reviews.
6. Company claims are labelled. Production volumes, employee counts and similar figures are presented as what the company says.
7. Independence. No paid listings, sponsorships or affiliate links. Any hospitality or samples are disclosed.
8. Images. We use only images we made or have permission to use, credited. Placeholders are labelled as placeholders.
9. Tobacco. This is informational content for adults. We do not sell tobacco or link to tobacco sales.
10. Corrections. Errors are fixed promptly and logged on the record concerned. See corrections.
