Feeling at Home

Is my palate broken?
I've smoked maybe 15 or so cigars since I started a few months ago, a handful being infused. I still cannot really taste a significant difference among traditional cigars. Although enjoyable, they all kind of taste like tobacco, minus the wrapper flavor. I've been "retro-haling" which helps discern tastes a little more but my nose can only handle so much.
It blows my mind when people can describe differences in flavor as the cigar progresses and elaborate on it to the T. My review goes something like this; Nice construction, great burn, excellent draw, good flavor, bitter towards the end. Some cigars I feel I have enjoyed a little more than others: Java Maduro Toro (fav) Cohiba Red Dot Acid Kuba Kuba Punch Short Story LGC Serie R I have yet to smoke a cigar in which I said "this sucks, I won't touch it again." I did not care for the LHC, but it was also the very first cigar I smoked and may have caught me off-guard. However, I typically do research before I jump on a sampler so I've yet to really have a "cheap" cigar to compare. The Acid Cold Infusion Tea was pretty good but after the 2nd one I just didn't care for the potpourri smell of the wrapper. Last edited by Sonic04GT; 12-31-2011 at 03:17 PM. |
