My two cents and then I'll duck. The original question is a good one and should have been asked by all the reviewers and a consensus arrived at before using the term "spice" in reviews. It is fairly obvious to me, from reading this thread, that "spice" is different things to different people and others are just wondering what they are all talking about. It is too general a term and ambiguous so it should not be used without other adjectives to modify it. Green spice is not a good one. As pointed out, green is generally an herb and not a spice. You really should say cinnamon or nutmeg or pepper or coriander or celery or cabbage or pickles if that's what you taste. If you don't know what you taste and have to use spice then you shouldn't be reviewing. I don't review as my palate is not so sophisticated. I think that's not such a bad thing. Sweet, earthy, coffee, mocha, cedar I understand and am happy with those. Acid Cigars are spicy! I know no others and am happy with that. To tell you the truth, I don't know if those "sophisticated palates" are really tasting more that I do or just making it up because they can't really tell what it is. I DO like that "Hmmmmm, wonder what that is?" taste in foods. I don't really have it with cigars and don't know that anyone does. If they do, they don't speak for the majority.
