How long did it take for you to develop your "nose"?

If you are struggling to pull flavors from your cigars, I would suggest sitting down with someone that can pull those flavors and smoke one with them.

I've found that if I look at someone else's tasting notes while smoking a cigar I am able to pick out some of the flavors they describe. The mega reviews are great for this in my (biased) opinion. I've also smoked cigars and read through my notes where I describe tastes from the first time I smoked them that I don't find the second time. Pairing with different drinks (or food) has some impact too.

We used this for a guide in the last mega review and it helped me a little:

I've yet to experience the "horsey" taste though...

I would describe "horsey" as Hay or straw.


Some might say "My horse tastes like raisins"

I really, really like horsey sauce on my curly fries from Arby's.
