Re: Training taste buds.
It helps to be someone who really likes to cook...or at least eat.
If you enjoy food and can train yourself to distinguish flavors, applying that to cigars is a logical, easy step.
Other factors include whether you are/were a cigarette smoker or a dipper. That can dull your palate and it can take months, if not years, after quitting to regain the ability to discern nuance.
I like noting flavor complexity in both food and cigars. I like sharing what I experience in reviews and in conversation, although there are those who couldn't care less. I do it for me. If it is important enough to you, then I'm confident that you'll find a way to develop your perception.
