Some wine enthusiasts can detect the most subtle of tastes. My wife is one of them. I've known sommeliers who can place wines in regions with just sips and swirls of wine in a properly-suited glass.

How in-depth are cigar aficionados? Can they tell the type of tobacco leaves that were used in a specific cigar blend? Does it get that in-depth? I can just imagine a group of cigar aficionados sitting around critiquing - "The Florida Sumatra wrapper wasn't aged long enough." I've looked online, but have yet to see anything like this.

I probably won't ever have this kind of palate, nor is it something I think I would strive for - I'm just trying to figure out how deep this rabbit hole goes.

This might be a good question for James Suckling.
