About the taste

Once you taste the "leather", you will be surprised. It doesn't taste like leather flavored air freshener, or like a brand new Cadillac. It's a thick, dark, robust, heavy flavor that can' be described any other way.

. It's also much tastier than it sounds!

Harshness in the smoke usually has to do with smoking too fast, a bad light, or just a bad stick!

Dont worry about picking our particular flavors at this point. The flavors are ver subtle and will come with time and experience. Try to find the differences between one cigar and the next. You may or may not notice that one is spicier or smoother than the other. Smoke slowly, one puff a minute is a good gauge.
Drink something neutral like water when smoking. Some drinks can overpower your palate. If you are a cigarette smoker this can also affect your taste.

Just like Bob says, it takes awhile to start actually noticing the flavors. I recommend you write down whatever you can about the cigar you smoke, and do some comparisons. This may not help you taste the cigars better but it will remind you what you've smoke and what you liked.

Also if you drink while you smoke, try pairing tht smoke with water.
