Umami

[victory01]

This is a taste I rarely have heard about in the cigar world. I hear words like; earth, hay, grassy, peat, and barnyard. I find myself seeking and finding umami on a regular basis. It's hard to describe since it is so close to home. Umami is one taste that we all know, yet it's so elusive. I love me some umami.

So what are some cigars you've tried that you've picked up umami?

I think what spawned this thread was a Siboney. I get a real savory satisfaction in the last third. Initially they are kinda sweet with a dry cocoa. That fades away though, and they change to something I think of as umami. Can't say it's really stood out in too many other smokes.

Pot roast juices produce umami. Cincinnati chili also may too.
