The best way to draw for flavor and not overheating the cigar. Seems like sometimes a stick starts to taste ashy or burnt and I don't know if it's the cigar or me overheating it.

How to describe the flavors I like and dislike so I can start intelligently experimenting and ranking my experiences.
Nice intro.

About the punch - nice pickup. I like those too sometimes.

I would keep my Macanudos and flavored cigars together - in the trash. The only realistic way you can do this is to have separate humidors, and they need to be at least 111 yards away from each other. Any closer, and it will ruin cigar smoking for you forever.

As far as overheating the cigar, don't smoke so fast. Put the cigar down, throw some darts, whatever, then pick it back up and take a few more pulls.

Good luck describing the flavors. I haven't been smoking long, but as a wise man once taught me on this board, there are ONLY two kinds of cigars - the ones you like, and the ones you don't. Try the Newbie Sampler Thread - you won't be disappointed.
