Yes. We have dozens of "banter" threads, and we have PMs. Please keep this thread for beginniner questions and answers. Thank you.

FYI....this wasn't directed at the instructions being given for multi-quoting, that was all legitimate assistance. This was to address earlier back and forth that had nothing to do with the intent of this thread. Apologies to anyone who thought it was directed at people helping people.

Right, nor did I mean it to sound as if my comment was directed at the "Thank you" posts.

So, I post pics in some threads and they are tiny thumbnails. How do you post the cool big pics?

You have to post them on a host site (Flikr, Photobucket) then copy the image link and past it in the thread using the "insert Image" button. You can also past the location in between [ I M G ] [ / I M G ] with no spaces.

Would shutterfly work?

The best thing to do would be to try. I assume any site that hosts pictures and allows you to get the URL would work.

Ok...so I want to know more about the specific tastes of cigars and what, if anything you shoud drink when smoking them. I have heard a lot about paring of cigars with drinks but really don't know what goes well with what. I often drink good beer with my smokes but have tried to level off from that due to the disruption of my palate and the flavor experience of the cigar.

I am guessing that this question may have been posted before, but I was hoping someone would be out there that could guide me in the right direction so that I can get the full experience out of my smokes!

When I read descriptions of cigars I always try to taste what is being described, i.e. earthiness, peppery, mocha, etc...yet I often have a hard time making those distictions!

I know everyone palate is different, but I want to be able to make out the flavor profiles of my smokes as best as possible.

Thanks for any advice....

Instead of spreadhing this test out over three posts, you could have edited and corrected your original post.

You have 30 minutes after posting to edit a post. The EDIT button is on the lower-right corner of the post right next to (on the left of) the QUOTE button.

Every new smoker will most likely ask this same question....I know with me it took time...and a lot of smokes. I have been smoking a little over a year or so now and I am still developing the palate for the various flavors. I imagine that you can spend a life time developing the palate to pick up the subtleties that you read about...some of those that brag about all the little flavors, well…. may just be full of crap, it’s your call. I do know that your palate over time will begin to pick up some of the flavors. I can still remember my first smoke that the strong taste of coco/chocolate came through, the guys at my local B&M thought I was nuts....just keep at it and you will get there

Thanks Matt! Looks like a ton of opitons that I can try....I just want the most out of each smoke. Thanks for the insight.

SteelCityBoy · 09-29-2011, 02:51 PM

Thanks Shane. I KNOW you have done your homework! Coffee seems to be your latest and greatest. You know what we need to try is a good cognac! A dark rich chewey smoke just sounds delicious with a cognac!

Don't worry too much about what other people's experience with their cigars. A lot of factors affects the taste of a cigar.

Light the cigar and enjoy. Given time, you will be able to discern some or all of those taste.
