You get use to it I suppose. If there is quite a bit of flavor changing throughout I may grab a small piece of paper and jot down notes on flavor. Real quick 1 words. But its easy to remember how the cigar was constructed, how the burn was, how the draw was, etc.
Flavor is always the most difficult aspect.

Well their Grean Reserva does nothing for me. I've had two. One Maduro one natural. Both were just average. I was going to give it another try on Saturday but the cigar looked like it may have had a little bit of mold on the end. Was kind of white, almost looked like it got caught on a cotton ball.
However the Hemingway's are very good. I love the short story and best seller. Delicious Cameroon wrapper. They recently came out with a sun-grown but my local B&M doesn't have them yet. The Maduro's are uber rare, and I'm a big Maduro fan.
I do like the OpusX just not as much as others I guess. I still think its a fantastic cigar, just not the greatest cigar ever. The Anejo is great. I may light one up in a few minutes here.
I haven't had much from Ashton which they also make, but the VSG are really nice. I wasn't overly impressed with Diamond Crown Maximus. Was good but at that price I'd have a hard time picking it over some other sticks.
I'd love to try a cuesta-rey but no one around here carries them.
