Re: cigar rating for beginners.
I still have difficulty discerning certain flavors. Namely the woody/cedar and nutty flavors. Have recently begun to taste coffee and some chocolate type flavors (bakers chocolate).
Also recently I'm starting to taste more sweet in cigars as well as whisky. This is very new to me. I never tasted anything sweet when I first started.
I noticed that when I made a concerted effort and really focused on the flavors, I started noticing them more and more. I have to really concentrate on it though.
There are lots of apps available. I ended up going to Evernote mainly because the apps often lacked many of the brand and vitolas I wanted to track. Evernote store your data 'in the cloud', which can be accessed from just about any device. It requires a bit more work as far as data entry goes, but I can take a photo and write notes including my own rating, and synch it all for free.
It you decide on another app that is designed exclusively for cigars, make sure it has the option of adding your own in case it isn't available in their database. Also, the ability to back up and restore is important.
