Palate

Mike I had the same problem for a few months last year, I think it was a sinus thing. Seems to be better right now but it was driving me crazy!

And its not about what other people taste but about smoking a cigar that you know has more flavor then what you are getting from it because you have smoked that cigar many times.

The "nasal irrigation bottle (neilmed)" sounds like something I need to try.
