DBall's Newb (and not-so-newb) Blind Taste Test #6

Robb, a few tips that may help if you feel like trying them:

* Try closing your mouth after blowing out most of the smoke and push the remaining 10-20% out of your nose. You will certainly be able to pick up more flavors that way.

* Feel free to purge (blow air through the cigar to clear out some stale smoke) every now and then. I find that helps me clarify the flavors a bit more.

* Sometimes sipping the cigar (light pulls, like you were drinking water from a straw) helps as it keeps the cigar from getting too hot too fast.

Also sipping helps your palate from getting overwhelmed, I find when I personally take big pulls I lose all the nuances.

This is an awesome thread! Really cool to see the different nuances different people taste.
