Last night as I was smoking one of my Review These sticks, the whole time I was thinking, "this has got to be Cuban". I had never tasted anything like what I was experiencing. The best word I can use to describe this was "toasty". No other cigar I have smoked, and i've smoked a whole lot, has come close to the aroma of this cigar.
The reason I'm excited is because my palette is somewhat "on". When I first started smoking, I was wondering if everyone was BS'ing these aroma's and small hints of microwaved taco salad that they were tasting. I was questioning whether or not someone could actually tell any difference in an ISOM, or if it was all the hype surrounding it. I'm not saying I can pick out all these flavors, but I can definately tell my palette has become more refined than when I started.
It's times like this morning, when I found out I was right, that do not reignite but rather add to the fire of this new passion I've come to love. In this hobby, you are ever learning and ever growing in knowledge through reading, listening, and experience. There's no stopping point. There's no "One more cigar and my collection is complete".
This is an awesome community and I have retained 96% of my knowledge from you guys. I have made some friends here, and look forward to making more. I appreciate you guys accepting me and raising me up right from the beginning. You have been nothing but helpful to me and I just want to say thank you. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
Chris
