Flavor Profiles

HK3- · 11-15-2008, 10:26 AM

I have been wondering for awhile now how many different flavor profiles can be found in cigars. And I dont mean the strawberry rockets from the local gas station either. Let's see if we can get a list going of familiar tastes that can be found in cigars.

1.) Woody
2.) Earthy
3.) Cedary
4.) Floral
5.)

Great tasting wheel!

groogs · 11-15-2008, 11:03 AM

I think the wheel pretty well covers it.

Looks like the wheel put a stop to this thread...

What is the purpose of have the two sides different colors?

Nice! Now, as a noob, I'd be interested in seeing cigars mapped to the wheel. For instance, I'm a fan of the sweet, caramel and creamy wedges. It would be cool to look at the wheel and be able to pick out a couple cigars that fall into those areas.

I'm sure something like this exists somewhere. Anybody know of a good tool that can be used to map flavor preferences to cigars?

I've always had trouble identifying flavors in a cigar. I printed this out to use the next time I try a new cigar. This is a great chart.

I think they are opposite sides of the spectrum.

Great Thread!

I found this and some other interesting tidbits here.

Factors affecting taste perception

Many factors affect taste perception, including:

Aging
Color/vision impairments
Hormonal influences
Genetic variations; see Phenylthiocarbamide
Oral temperature
Drugs and chemicals
Natural Substances (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit)
CNS Tumors (esp. Temporal lobe lesions) and other neurological causes
Plugged noses
Zinc deficiency

It is also important to consider that flavor is the overall, total sensation induced during mastication (e.g. taste, touch, pain and smell). Smell (olfactory stimulation) plays a major role in flavor perception.

Zinc eh? Gotta go take a multivitamin...

That tastes like Umami.

The wheel isn't very complete.
How about:
Grass
Burning Tire
Green Spray Paint
Brush Fire
Poop

The Wheel guy must be an eternal optomist.

great wheel. I love sticks with the cocoa, espresso flavor profiles

chippewastud79 · 11-15-2008, 05:29 PM

What about "No pre-light scent" or "Just harsh"?

I would think the mild-medium flavors are on the left side (yellow) and the med-full flavors are on the right side. (orange)
