Steve, maybe a new thread in General(?) forum should be started, or a thread addition to How to Taste cigars? Not sure where it should really go since IMO this would be of great assist to newbies, better start them right than make them "re-learn" later.
One thing I learned in years of past observations (wine and cigars) is people wrongly assuming specific characteristics mean Y when, in fact, they mean X. Hate to say it, but a number of professionals also get it wrong, time and time again. Parker and his new Portugal wines minion, Squires, always assumed and taught wine drinkers that "bacon fat" nose and taste were attributes of Northern Rhone "terroir" where in reality they are nothing but specific barrels used to age wine. Just one obvious example, there are plenty more, and cigar world is pretty similar in this regard. I'm sure we'll have a nice discussion come Sunday...
