Gentlemen, you may smoke!

Cigar Smell
This is just a general observation on my part.
The worse a cigar smells, the better it tastes. As in, if I can smell cows, pigs, and poop on my cigar before lighting it, it will usually taste amazing. If I smell a leafy smell, it usually just tastes like smoke. (I like maduros btw, if that makes a difference) Am I weird? |

Re: Cigar Smell
You obviously haven't smelled many Gurkha's. They taste as worse as they smell.

Re: Cigar Smell
Barnyard usually means wet. I like my maduros same as you, and that's normally a good indicator I'll like a cigar. Trouble is, when I smoke them wet, a lot of ammonia comes along with it and just plain ruins the flavors of the cigar on retrohale. All I get is burned out noseholes.
So I set them down at 60% for about 8 months. At that point, the barnyard tones down a ton, and the chocolate, sweet, spicy, full delicious flavors come out. Here's a tip... If you like that barnyardy wet smell, order any Oliva maduro from the online vendors. They always come super wet and fresh. Special G maduros, G maduros, and especially O maduros will totally rock your world. The longer you keep them, the better they'll get, too.

Re: Cigar Smell
Maduro is my favorite. Yes, though it seems the smelly ones (also the ones that non-cigar smokers find offensive - but who cares) have the best taste.

Re: Cigar Smell
This can be true for sure. I love a good maduro but then I love a good nat too. For me a good cigar is a good cigar can be any number of kinds.

Re: Cigar Smell
I thought that was plume?
On the serious tip, I agree with the OP sometimes. However, I have some cigars that smell like melted dark chocolate when cold and a basket of spring flowers when lit and taste f%^#ing spectacular, too!

With the exception of some cigars damaged by improper storage, I can't say that I've ever found pre-light aroma to be definitively indicative of an enjoyable cigar. I've smelled many dog rockets with wonderful pre-light aromas, and many good cigars that were just "meh" before lighting. Unless I'm trying to figure out what tobaccos are in a cigar, I don't even smell them anymore. |

Re: Cigar Smell
Yes indeed, the stinkier the better for me and my maduros. When I go to work and someone tells me I stink, I just smile and say thank you. Then I know I have had a great smoke!
