Has anyone here gone from unable to make out the different tastes in a cigar to being decent at it? I'd like to be able to describe a cigar but it kinda feels like a case of "some people can and some can't" with me being the latter.
Describing the taste you experience and actually noticing the taste are really two separate things.

First off, what are you eating or drinking while having a cigar?
