Here is the deal. I'm having an issue with tasting. Some days cigars taste great other days really bad. Same brand sticks that I know taste great to me. They are name brand like pradrons and stuff so it's not the sticks. I do keep about a half stopped up nose but I've been spraying a decongestant before smoking and it clears it and that doesn't help. So I guess it's my palate? Not sure why some days they taste great other days not?
