Smoking 2 cigars simultaneously...

DBall · 09-30-2010, 11:18 PM

I've learned from PPPs that having more than 1 cigar at a time helps pinpont flavors and makes both cigars better (unless you are smoking crap...

).

I've been doing this occasionally and have some reviews written up (which I'll post up sometime later).

Tonight, I got out of work and lit a 97 LGC MdO #4... it just wasn't doing it... sparked up a 99 Hoyo de Depute and all those great LGC flavors were pointed out to me like someone giving me a second opinion... made the Hoyo better, too.

Anyone else do this, or am I a lunatic (or both)?

Your evil Dan. That is all.

DBall · 09-30-2010, 11:29 PM

I urge you all to try it sometime and see if it makes the experience better like it does for me. It's really fascinating...

I haven't purposely lit more than one cigar, but I've found myself enjoying the comparison on more than one occasion... Your not (completely

) nuts, Dan.

No Peter but he's pretty damn close...

In regards to two cigars at once...No but I have smoke two cigars side by side for a comparison.

Never tried it alone. I get what you mean about being similar to a PPP. I think it would be best if both were similar in body. If one was a full flavored/full bodied and the other on the mild/med end, it would be difficult to enjoy the nuance of the milder smoke.

This has been proven to be the case in flavor studies I have read. The study shows that the weaker stimuli will get overpowered by the stronger one.

If you care to read scientific jargon

You, Peter, are a friggin riot! (I voted 'both', btw. I see that I'm not alone in that belief...)

Does smoking two of the same cigars count?

bobarian · 10-01-2010, 12:22 AM

I've done the root beer tasting with the La Escepion Longos and a '92 Monte Joyita. Lots of interesting sweet flavors that you did not get from either by itself, but not quite root beer. I have one more pairing to try at another time.

I had a Longo but didn't have the 92 Joyita... I was planning on holding out until I found the Joyita, but I just decided to smoke the Longo at Shack.

Therefore, I did not get root beer...
