There ya go, Isaiah.
Another thing that will help are well-written reviews. If a guy really explains his experience, he'll usually mention how long it took and what size cigar he smoked. How does the time compare to what you're getting? If its taking this guy an hour and a half and it took you 45 minutes, you're probably still going way too fast. Some guys really doddle, so you can take that into consideration, but at least you have some sort of idea to help slow yourself down. Slowing down was the toughest part of cigar smoking for me because I like to do 20 things at once at Mach 5. ![]() Everyone mentioned retrohaling. You didn't mention if you're doing it. That's when you draw smoke in your mouth and blow it slowly out your nose. You want to take small sips or smoke. Large sips will give you a whole different taste/smell/experience. As you go, you'll pick up different things. You mentioned creamy. All cigars are not creamy. Few are, actually. I can remember a Taboo Twist that left a creaminess in my throat and mouth that was the same as ice cream does. I can't say that I've smoked another "creamy" cigar since. We all have different palettes, too. Joe mentioned dipping. I chew a can a day at least. It definately dulls my senses. Because of that I levitate to stronger, spicier, fuller bodied cigars. Because of that I don't get to experience some flavors others enjoy. You already made a big step by finding coffee. The more you slow down, the more things will pop up. Realize you won't find every flavoring every cigar. Some are very one-dimensional. They taste like coffee the whole way through, or taste like cooked caramel the whole way through. Some just taste like crap the whole way through. You'll find flavors and you'll find things you enjoy. Be patient. This is a very patience-demanding hobby. ![]()
