So do Cuban pencils have that particular twang to them?

I've always been a little put off by the descriptions some people have about tobacco. I just taste good old tobacco; maybe creamy, peppery, or spicy. Certainly not buttery, fruity, or reminiscent of pencil led.

I have had many of these cigars, actually one of my favorites, love the nub brand, but don't remember them having any pencil hits or flavors to them.

Pencils don't use lead, they use graphite.

Just sayin'.

So that's where all the lead from my pencil went

I've tasted wet cardboard in wine before, and sometimes Alsatian or Loire French white wines have some pencil lead aromas to them, but I've never tasted that in cigars.

However, I'm better at tasting wines than cigars, AND Cigar Aficianado's older brother is Wine Aficianado so maybe they share the same thesaurus.

I saw that in the CA calendar as well.

However, I far prefer the CI calendar
